SHA Call for Submissions

2013 AAA Annual Meeting

The Society for Humanistic Anthropology welcomes paper and poster session proposals for consideration at this year’s AAA Annual Meeting in Chicago (November 20-24, 2013). The theme for the meeting is “Future Publics, Current Engagements,” which provides a rich context for exploring the innovative and exciting work conducted under the broad rubric of humanistic anthropology.

The 2013 SHA Programming Committee consists of Kristen Ghodsee (kghodsee@bowdoin.edu) and Jonathan S Marion (jsmarion@gmail.com)

Both Kristen and Jonathan are more than happy to work with you on your paper, poster, or roundtable sessions – please be in touch early, and as often as necessary, with us! We’re happy to assist session organizers with the structuring of their proposals. SHA encourages innovative formats, including poster sessions and fostering more dynamic discussion periods.

Proposals for paper, poster and roundtable sessions must all be submitted through the AAA website.
