>>various contexts
>>• Address the relationship between researcher and subjects
>>• Challenge conventional academic writing through alternative literary
>>genres
>>• Make anthropology accessible to the general public.
>>
>>Papers should be 7-10 pages in length (double-spaced and in 12-pt font,
>>excluding references), and should be submitted in hard copy and
>>electronic version. Papers should be accompanied by a brief cover
>>letter, including academic affiliation, year in program of study,
>>contact information, the relevant category of submission (undergraduate
>>or graduate), and relevant details about the paper (at which conference
>>was it presented, or for what course was it written?). Please include
>>your name, academic affiliation, and contact information on the title
>>page, but do not include any identifying information on the actual
>>paper. Papers already published or accepted for publication at the time
>>of submission are not eligible, but papers currently under consideration
>>may be submitted. You need not be a member of the Society for
>>Humanistic Anthropology to submit a paper. Any student currently
>>enrolled in any accredited college or university in any nation is
>>eligible for these prizes. Limit one submission per student.
