Paper Prize

The Culture and Agriculture section of the American Anthropological Association is soliciting papers for the Robert M. Netting Prize and Graduate Fellowship. The winner will receive a $500 prize and mentorship from the Co-Editors of Culture, Agriculture, Food, & Environment (CAFE), with the goal of revising the paper for publication.

Submissions should draw on relevant literature from any subfield of Anthropology, and present data from original research related to livelihoods based on either crop, livestock, forestry, or fisheries production or any broader systems of management linked to agricultural and environmental resources. Papers should be limited to a maximum of 8,000 words, including endnotes, appendices, and references, and should follow the American Anthropologist format style.

Papers already published or accepted for publication are not eligible. Those submitting papers need not be members of the American Anthropological Association but must be enrolled students. (Students graduating in the Spring of the given year are eligible).

The submission deadline is September 9th.

Submissions should be sent to Dr. Nick Kawa, the chair of this year's prize committee, at nckawa@gmail.com
