SANA 2007 Conference

The St. Clair Drake Student Travel Grant Award

The Society for the Anthropology of North America announces
 the St. Clair Drake Student Travel Grants Award
For Travel to the 2007 SANA Conference and the 2007 AAA Meetings

To apply, submit your paper abstract, university affiliation, and contact information
 to sanatravelgrant@yahoo.com
 

No additional materials are needed. The student travel grant will be awarded on a competitive basis and reviewed by a committee comprised of members from the SANA board.

  • This travel grant is intended for currently enrolled graduate students without a PhD. Only students who are presenting at the conference will be considered for the award.  Applicants must be SANA members.

  • Papers should relate to the study of North America and—in keeping with the work of the award’s namesake, St. Clair Drake—preferably consider the politics of everyday life in North America such as those pertaining to “race,” ethnicity, class, gender, and/or sexuality.  Priority will be given to those that address Mexico, the United States, and Canada. 

  • Preference will go to those students who have previously applied for the SANA travel grant and have not yet received one.

  • The total dollar amount allocated to travel grants is limited; therefore, the number and dollar amount of grants awarded depends on the number of applicants and their travel needs.

  • Travel grants will not be awarded to any individual two years in a row.

  • Drake Fellows may be asked to assist SANA by helping pass out informational flyers at sessions or contributing to its newsletter.

  • SANA is an intentionally inclusive community of anthropologists and encourages every student to apply for the St. Clair Drake award regardless of society’s labels or anthropology’s disciplinary boundaries.  However, applicants must be SANA members presenting at the 2007 SANA or AAA meetings.
