The Society for Urban, National and Transnational/Global Anthropology (SUNTA) is pleased to announce its graduate student paper prize competition. We are seeking papers that address SUNTA’s interests, including urban life, space and place, poverty and homelessness, transnational social processes, impacts of globalization, refugees and immigration. The prize includes a cash award of $250. The winner will be announced at the 2018 AAA meetings in San Jose, CA.
Authors who are current graduate students or who have graduated within the 2018 calendar year are eligible for the competition, as long as the submission was composed while she or he was a graduate student. Submissions will be accepted from both faculty and the students themselves. Letters of recommendation/justification are not required, nor is SUNTA membership. International entries are encouraged, but papers must be submitted in English. Papers should be no more than 30 double-spaced pages, including bibliography, notes and images/figures, and in 12-point font. The paper’s formatting (e.g., citations, bibliographies, etc.) should be consistent throughout. Papers should be submitted by email to Sylvia Nam () by September 10, 2018. Please direct any queries about the award or alternative submission arrangements to her.
