Upcoming Issue Call for Papers
Submissions -- General Information
SUBMISSIONS
Arizona Anthropologist, the graduate student-run journal of the Department of Anthropology, University of Arizona, is seeking submissions for our upcoming issue. We accept manuscripts in all fields of anthropology by students meeting the following criteria:
- Open to all Arizona universities' undergraduate and graduate students. The topic and geographical coverage are open. - Open to all students. For students not studying at Arizona Universities, however, the topic and geographical coverage are limited to the U.S. Southwest and/ or the U.S. south border region.
For the upcoming issue, in addition to traditional scholarly research articles, we are also making a special request for less formal papers focusing on aspects of fieldwork that are often rendered invisible in scholarly writing. Such topics include (but are not limited to) experiences in adapting methodologies to specific contexts, negotiating ethical dilemmas, struggling to develop balanced and equitable representations, responding to changing field conditions, gaining access and building trust, engaging in advocacy, meeting the multiple and often conflicting expectations of different stakeholders, etc.
These thematic papers should be relatively short (5-20 double-spaced pages), avoid excessive use of citations, and be grounded in personal experience. We believe that sharing some of the difficulties encountered and lessons learned during our fieldwork will help prepare other graduate students for the experience.
Please encourage reflect upon this important topic and submit a paper about your fieldwork experiences to Arizona Anthropologist. As always, we also welcome scholarly research articles in all fields of anthropology. Please submit papers (e-mail Victoria Phaneuf or Derek Honeyman.) for consideration for publication.
Please contact the editors for further information on submission guidelines. Thank you.
