CULTURE & AGRICULTURE AT THE AAA ANNUAL MEETING
Hey C&A! We are getting ready and looking forward to the 2024 AAA Annual Meeting at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.
The Culture and Agriculture section has some great special events, panels, and talks. Please add these to your calendars and spread the word among colleagues and students
SPECIAL EVENTS
Wednesday, 11/20
Demystifying the editorial process: Gleanings/CAFE workshop | 12:30pm - 2:00pm, Tampa Convention Center, room 104
This 60-minute, roundtable-style workshop will demystify the editorial process to graduate students, junior scholars, and anyone else in attendance. By using the submission, review, and editorial processes of Culture & Agriculture’s own journal Culture, Agriculture, Food, and Environment (CAFE) and online essay series Gleanings, the workshop will give participants a tangible understanding of how they can develop their research into submittable articles and essays. The workshop will consist of three parts. In part one, a roundtable consisting of CAFE co-editors, the section president, and other guests will provide a behind-the-scenes description of the submission, review, and editorial process. In part two, participants will have a chance to work in small groups (5-7 people) facilitated by the roundtable members (1 per group) to discuss their own research and how their research may be thought of in terms of submittable pieces to Culture & Agriculture’s journal or essay series. In part three, the roundtable will reconvene and discuss takeaways from the small group work,
including insights and examples of how junior scholars can think about developing their research into submittable pieces.Register via the AAA Annual Meeting website
