SUMMARY:2025 Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing Contest Entry
DESCRIPTION:2025 Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing\nThe Society for Humanistic Anthropology (SHA) announces the annual juried competition for the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing. The late Victor Turner devoted his career to seeking an accessible language that would reopen anthropology to the human subject\, and the competition recognizes the innovative books that further this project. We seek graceful\, accessible ethnographic writing which deeply explores its subject and contributes in innovative and engaging ways to the genre(s) of ethnography and the field of humanistic (and/or post-humanistic) anthropology. \nAward\nA $1\,000 first-place\, a $500 second place and a $250 third-place prize will be awarded in autumn of 2025 (either via online SHA awards ceremony\, or in person at the American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans\, November 19-23\, 2025). \n2025 Edie Turner First Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing\nAuthors for whom their submission to the Victor Turner Prize is also their first book publication will also be eligible for consideration for the Edie Turner First Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing\, a newly created award which recognizes Edie Turner’s support and mentorship of junior scholars. Up to two winners of the Edie Turner Prize may be selected at the discretion of the prize committee. \nAward\nA $1\,000 first-place prize\, potentially split between co-winners\, will be awarded in autumn 2025 (either via online SHA awards ceremony\, or in person at the American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans\, November 19-23\, 2025). This award will not affect any book’s consideration for the Victor Turner Prize\, and a book may win both awards. There is no separate entry form for the Edie Turner Prize. \nEligibility\n\nEligible ethnographic genres for both prizes include single or co-authored book-length monographs\, narratives\, historical accounts\, biographies\, memoirs\, dramas\, and creative ethnography (including nonfiction\, fiction\, and poetic works); as well as single-authored collections of essays\, short prose\, or poems (sorry\, no edited collections with multiple contributors).\nOnly books copywrited in 2024 will be eligible. If the work is in translation to English\, we allow 2 extra years from the original publication date; therefore a book published in its original language no earlier than 2022 would be eligible.\nBooks must have been peer-reviewed independently of its author(s).\nBooks may be entered into the competition by authors\, publishers\, book editors\, or colleagues. No formal letter of nomination is needed.\nPublishers are encouraged to limit their submissions to ten books per publisher.\n\nSubmission Guidelines\nBy June 1\, 2025\, Please: \n\nComplete your information in this ENTRY FORM\nPay the entry fee (details to be provided)\nSubmit an electronic copy of your book by the June 1 deadline to SHAVictorTurner@gmail.com.\nShort listed book authors will be asked to submit paper copies of their books to each of the judges (addresses will be provided to these authors and/or publishers).\n\nBiographical information submitted will be used for presenting the winners and publicizing the results of the competition and will not be used for judging the quality of the entries. \nSubmission Fee\nFor authors who are already or become SHA members\, the entry fee is $25/book. For authors who are not SHA members\, the entry fee is $75/book. (Publishers: for all books you submit\, please check with authors first to discover whether they are current SHA members and please encourage authors to join SHA).

SUMMARY:Society for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology (SLACA) Biennial Spring Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology (SLACA) is pleased to invite\nsubmissions for our biennial conference\, “(Im)mobility and Memory in Latin America and the\nCaribbean.” This conference will explore the dynamic interrelations between memory and\nmobility in the region\, focusing on how both movement and stasis shape\, and are shaped by\,\ncultural\, social and historical processes. We seek to examine how memory—individual and\ncollective—becomes a contested terrain in relation to both mobility and immobility. \nConceptualizing Memory: \nIn this conference\, we are imagining Memory as encompassing not only personal and collective\nrecollections but also broader questions of heritage\, patrimony\, and history. How are tangible\nand intangible forms of patrimony – such as monuments\, artifacts\, oral traditions\, and historical\nnarratives – remembered\, preserved\, or transformed in contexts of movement\, migration\, or\ndisplacement? How do communities in Latin America and the Caribbean negotiate their cultural\nand historical legacies in the face of (im)mobility? We invite participants to consider these and\nother questions as they relate to the politics of memory\, heritage\, and identity.

SUMMARY:WEBINAR: DEI in the Balance
DESCRIPTION:Title: DEI in the Balance \nWhen: March 20 1:00 to 2:00 PM EST \nLearning Objectives: \nOn January 20\, 2025\, President Trump began signing a series of executive orders that attempted to position diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) programs\, initiatives\, and activities as illegal on the grounds that DEI is “discriminatory.” In this webinar\, we discuss the language of these executive orders and their scope of impact\, including on work and activities related to DEI in different sectors\, such as higher-education and for-profit organizations in the United States. The webinar will also focus on what we can continue to do to advance the principles behind DEI\, both at work and in our personal lives\, in this precarious regulatory environment. \nPresenter Bios: \nDr. Luzilda C. Arciniega and Dr. Melissa Maceyko are anthropologists and co-founders of Willing Observers\, a consulting firm that centers cultural approaches and methods to deepen diversity\, equity\, inclusion and belonging in organizations. Dr. Arciniega’s background is in business and organizational cultures\, DEIB best practices and benchmarking\, and critical race and feminist studies. Dr. Maceyko’s background is in language and social justice\, legal and political anthropology\, allyship\, and gender and sexuality studies. At Willing Observers they conduct cultural assessments\, develop and facilitate training\, and help organizations with DEIB strategic planning and metrics. Their Inclusive Culture Strategy programs train DEIB advocates on key foundations and knowledge in DEIB and culture-change. \nPricing – Free  \nAAA Membership is not required to attend. \nRegister

SUMMARY:COSSA's 2025 Social Science Advocacy Day
DESCRIPTION:COSSA’s annual Social Science Advocacy Day will be taking place on March 24-25\, 2025\, in Washington\, DC. Advocacy Day brings together social and behavioral scientists and science advocates from across the country to engage with policymakers in Congress about issues important to our community\, such as federal funding. Participants will be teamed up with advocates and participate in a day of in-person meetings with House and Senate offices on Capitol Hill. Through these meetings\, you will share reasons why federal government support for social and behavioral science research is so critical and discuss how you and your institution can be helpful to your elected officials. Advocates will be given all the resources they need to have successful meetings\, including a preparatory seminar\, and all your meetings will be scheduled for you. The only thing you need to do is come to Washington prepared to talk about why you love social and behavioral science! \nThe stakes for research funding have never been higher as we enter a particularly challenging political and budgetary environment. Social Science Advocacy Day is a must for all stakeholders who care about the fate of federal funding for social and behavioral science research and who believe this research should be used to inform sound public policy.
