Anthropologists are faced with rapidly changing issues and challenges from funding agencies, governmental regulations, new technologies, and much more. These can deeply affect anthropologists on research, teaching, applied work, publishing, public outreach, to name a few. While facing new developments can be difficult, it can also provide opportunity for innovation and improvement. It is in the spirit of meeting such challenges with creativity that Anthropology News invites proposals for essays on the theme Innovation and Change. Potential contributors may focus on broad disciplinary or interdisciplinary issues as well as on specific projects or work. Topics may include but are not limited to: federal funding, publishing, tenure and promotion, MOOCs, social media, legislation, libraries, technology.
We welcome proposals from current AAA members for In Focus commentaries, Teaching Strategies articles, Field Notes pieces, photo essays, photo features, news stories, interviews and more. Proposals for photo essays should also include up to five photographs (tiff or jpg), each with a caption and credit. Multimedia submissions are especially encouraged to take full advantage of the online capabilities at www.anthropology-news.org.
Deadline for proposals: June 12
Selected authors will be notified of their status in June. Full articles will be due July 15, 2013 and will be published at anthropology-news.org in August.
Submission Guidelines
All accepted contributions will be published online at www.anthropology-news.org for up to 1,600 words for commentaries, with flexible space for supplemental online artwork and other supporting files. All published contributions will be archived on AnthroSource.
Selected essays published online will be featured in the newly reorganized bimonthly print AN. Selections will be determined based on a combination of reader feedback via online metrics (such as comments, shares, ratings and pingbacks) and editorial discretion.
To submit a proposal, please use the online AN Proposal System for your 300-word abstract, brief biosketch, and more at www.aaanet.org/customcf/an/login.cfm.
Questions? Most can be answered either with AN’s Essay and Column Guidelines or AN’s Policies. If not, email AN Managing Editor Amy Goldenberg.
