the St. Clair Drake Student Travel Grants
Award
For Travel
to the 2008 SANA/AES Conference
The Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA) announces
the St. Clair Drake Student Travel Grants Award for travel to the 2008
SANA/AES Conference, titled "Democracy, Disorder, and Discontent," on
April 3 -5, 2008 in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.
To apply, submit your paper abstract, university affiliation, and
contact information to sanatravelgrant@yahoo.com by March 14, 2008. No
additional materials are needed.
Applicants must be SANA members. The membership fee is only $10 for
students - please see http://sananet.org/membership.html for
instructions on how to join.
-
The student travel grant is awarded on a competitive basis and
reviewed by a committee comprised of members from the SANA board. This
travel grant is intended for currently enrolled graduate students
without a PhD. Only students who are presenting at the conference will
be considered for the award.
-
Papers should relate to the study of North America and —- in
keeping with the work of the award's namesake, St. Clair Drake –
preferably consider the politics of everyday life in North America
such as those pertaining to race, ethnicity, class, gender, and/or
sexuality. Priority will be given to those that address Mexico, the
United States, and Canada.
-
Preference will go to those students who have previously applied
for the SANA travel grant and have not yet received one.
-
The total dollar amount allocated to travel grants is limited;
therefore, the number and dollar amount of grants awarded depends on
the number of applicants and their travel needs.
-
Travel grants will not be awarded to any individual two years in a row.
-
SANA is an intentionally inclusive community of anthropologists and
encourages every student to apply for the St. Clair Drake award
regardless of society's labels or anthropology's disciplinary
boundaries. However, applicants must be SANA members presenting at
the 2008 SANA or AAA meetings.
