Subject: [AAA_SLACA_ListServ] Student Anthropologists e-Journal
NASA 2010 e-Journal Call for Papers
What is the e-Journal
The National Association of Student Anthropologists (NASA) e-Journal is
designed to seek out exemplary scholarship done by anthropology students and
provide a vehicle for students to publish in a supportive, nurturing
environment. The first volume of the e-Journal was released at the 2009
American Anthropological Association meetings in Philadelphia, PA. NASA's
vision for the e-Journal is to create a forum through which the next
generation of anthropologists can share their ideas with the membership of
our national organization. The next volume will be released at the 2010
AAAs in New Orleans.
We seek scholarly submissions from undergraduate and graduate students
worldwide about the application of anthropological theories and methods
outside of academia or across disciplines for the purpose of exploring,
problematizing, or addressing social problems. These submissions should
contain original research. Is there a paper you submitted for a
service-learning class where you addressed a social problem using
anthropological methods? Have you done fieldwork in a community where you
sought to create positive social change in the process of gathering data?
Tell us about it! Scholarly articles should be under 4,000 words in length
and will be subject to a peer review process.
We also welcome innovative commentary submissions to the e-Journal.
Commentaries are opinion or avant-garde pieces of work that are the original
work of the authors. These submissions are to express the next generation of
anthropologists' ideas, goals and beliefs of the direction our discipline
should head, be it locally, nationally or globally. Have you worked in an
internship, co-op or another job as a student anthropologist and wish to
reflect on how you relied on your anthropological training? Perhaps you
collaborated with students from other disciplines at a volunteer
organization and seek to describe the value you added from an
anthropological perspective? We seek a plurality of voices on this issue and
intend to raise awareness among fellow students as well as more established
anthropologists about the direction our discipline is heading. Commentary
submissions might include such mediums as written pieces (approx. 1,000
words in length), photo stories (10 photos + 1,000 words of commentary in
length) and videos/YouTube© clips (10-minute maximum in duration + 1,000
words of commentary in length)
2010 e-Journal Theme: "Circulation"
Drawing on the theme designated for the 2010 AAA meetings, the e-Journal
will speak to the idea of circulation. Submissions that address
circulation, as discussed in the 2010 AAA Call for Papers, will be given
preference.
"The idea of circulation invites us to consider what triggers, facilitates,
constrains, disrupts or stops flows; what is at stake in these processes,
and for whom; and what their consequences might be for humans and for the
environment. It opens up questions about what exactly circulates: signs,
objects or bodies. Do different things circulate in different ways? Do they
change or remain constant? What new phenomena, arrangements and inequalities
does circulation produce? How are resources and ways of understanding them
identified, made sense of, produced and distributed in the process? How and
why do rates and types of circulation vary across time and space? What
crystallizes and what continues to flow and reshape?"

Submission Guidelines & Deadlines:
All submissions should be sent as attachments and saved in Microsoft Office
Word format (.doc or .docx) and conform to AAA style
(http://www.aaanet.org/publications/style_guide.pdf). Submissions should be
double spaced and should adhere to the word limits outlined in this CFP
(4000 words for scholarly submissions and 1000 words for commentary
submissions, excluding notes and references).
Send submissions, as well as any questions, to nasaej...@gmail.com.
The deadline for submissions is April 15th, 2010.
Reviewers Wanted!
All submissions to the NASA e-Journal are peer-reviewed. If you are
interested in reviewing submissions for the e-Journal, please contact the
editor, Sarah Taylor, at nasaej...@gmail.com.
Overview of NASA
What is NASA?
The National Association of Student Anthropologists (NASA) is the student
section of the American Anthropological Association founded in 1986 to
address graduate and undergraduate student concerns and to promote the
interests and involvement of students as anthropologists-in-training. NASA
is a four-field network of students, which directly addresses issues that
are of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students, including
finding jobs, attending graduate school, fieldwork programs and networking.
Why Join NASA?
§ NASA offers two annual monetary awards to both graduate and undergraduate
members: The NASA Travel Award and the Carrie Hunter-Tate Student Award for
academic and professional excellence.
§ NASA receives a large amount of allotted time for students to present at
the annual meeting.
§ NASA members elect their peers to serve as officers. These officers
represent students within the governance of the larger association, which is
a great leadership opportunity.
§ NASA provides a host of resources for students attending the Annual
Meetings.
§ NASA members also have the opportunity to publish in the sections' column
in Anthropology News.
How do I join NASA?
Any student member of the AAA may join NASA for $5. Simply fill out the
membership form and check the NASA box and mail it to the AAA or call (703)
