American Anthropological Association, shared an update

PostedMonday, July 6, 2020 at 9:16 AM

The 2020 Annual Meeting is cancelled, but that does not mean we will remain silent. This fall, we’re asking YOU to raise your voice on issues of research, scholarship, and practice that matter in this historic moment during “RAISING OUR VOICES 2020,” an online event held November 5 – 14 with live, interactive participation as well as view-on-demand. https://www.americananthro.org/RAISINGOURVOICES

Founded in 1902, the American Anthropological Association (AAA) is the world's largest organization of professional anthropologists. The AAA is governed by a 17-member Executive Board, elected by the membership. Members belong to one or more of 40 Sections. The leaders of these sections form a Section Assembly, which provides advice to the Executive Board on matters of policy, communications, and Association operations.

Internship Info	Each summer, the American Anthropological Association offers two internship opportunities funded by member donations. Internships are six weeks in length and usually extend from early July through mid-August. Internships are unpaid, however they are provided housing and a meal/travel stipend. Interns will spend approximately 40 percent of their time working onsite at the AAA offices in Arlington, VA, and the other 60 percent of their time working on-site at one of two locations: The Naval Historic & Heritage Command and The Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. Learn about the incredible students who have been AAA interns in the past in our AAA Summer Internship Hall of Fame. For more information visit americananthro.org/internships.
Grants Or Funding	Minority Dissertation Fellowship: This fellowship is meant to encourage ethnic minorities of the U.S. to complete doctoral degrees in anthropology, thereby increasing diversity in the discipline and/or promoting research on issues of concern among minority populations. The $10,000 award is granted once a year to a minority student to support the writing phase of their dissertation.
