Long Abstract


At the 2007 annual AAS Conference at the Australian National University,
ANSA (Australian Network of Student Anthropologists) hosted a successful
Postgraduate Showcase, which featured new and upcoming talent in Australian
Anthropology. Based on the popularity of this event, ANSA will host another
Postgraduate Showcase in New Zealand for the combined ASAANZ, ASA and AAS
Annual Conference. Abstracts are called for from postgraduate students and
early career Anthropologists who have recently submitted their dissertation
or graduated. We encourage postgraduate students in Anthropology across
Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom who have finished their
fieldwork to present a completed portion of their research or emerging
theoretical arguments grounded in their ethnographic material. The
development of conference presentation skills are an essential part of the
PhD process. This forum offers an opportunity for postgraduate scholars to
present their research to an international audience, gain conference
experience, form contacts with peers and benefit from the advice of
established academics in a supportive environment. The intention of this
session is to encourage postgraduate scholars to view themselves as part of
the international Anthropological academic community and to inspire them to
consider the potential of their research beyond the purposes of their
dissertation. The session will be grouped by sub-themes and by the regions
in which the research was undertaken. Two hundred word paper abstracts
should be submitted before May 1st. to:
<mailto:nelia.hyndman-rizik at anu.edu.au> nelia.hyndman-rizik at anu.edu.au. 

 

We look forward to hearing from you,
