St. Clair Drake Student Travel Grant

The Society for the Anthropology of North America announces the St. Clair Drake Student Travel Grant for travel to the 2011 AAA conference, titled "Traces, Tidemarks, and Legacies" on November 16-20, 2011 in Montreal.

The committee will distribute up to four grants for up to $500 each.

To apply, submit your paper abstract, university affiliation, and contact information to sanatravelgrant@yahoo.com by September 20, 2011. No additional materials are needed.

Applicants must be SANA members. The membership fee is only $10 for students - please see http://sananet.org/about.php for instructions on how to join.

• The student travel grant is 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 papers at the conference will be considered for the grant.
• Papers should relate to the study of North America and – in keeping with the work of the grant’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.
• SANA is an intentionally inclusive community of anthropologists and encourages every student to apply for the St. Clair Drake grant regardless of society’s labels or anthropology’s disciplinary boundaries. However, applicants must be SANA members presenting at the 2011 AAA meeting.
