SLACA Announces Call for Whiteford Graduate Student Award in Applied and Public Anthropology

The Society for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology (SLACA) announces its 2018 Whiteford Graduate Student Award in Applied and Public Anthropology in honor of Michael B. Whiteford and Scott Whiteford. The award consists of US $1000 to help a graduate student attend the SLACA Spring bi-annual meeting, held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, April 11-13.

Students in graduate programs in Latin America, the Caribbean or the United States should submit papers that are a maximum length of six thousand words, including bibliography. Papers can be from any subfield of anthropology, but they must have an applied component and be based on field research carried out in Latin America, the Caribbean, or among first-generation migrants from these areas. The papers can be written in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese. The student must hold a current membership in SLACA. The deadline is February 1, 2019.
