<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The School for Advanced Research will begin accepting proposals for Advanced, Research Team and Short Seminars on November 3, 2015. The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2016.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Seminars at the School for Advanced Research (SAR) promote communication among scholars and/or practitioners who are at a critical stage of research on a shared topic. Each seminar consists of up to 10 scholars — including one or two who
serve as chair/s — who meet at SAR's Santa Fe campus for three to five days of intense discussion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Advanced Seminars: </b>SAR's renowned Advanced Seminar program convenes a group of scholars for a five-day seminar, the proceedings of which are considered for publication by SAR Press. Two or three Advanced Seminars are selected each
year through a competitive application process. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:blue">NEW THIS YEAR </span></b> SAR is accepting proposals for an advanced seminar that focuses on the growing importance of ethnographic methods and anthropological perspectives in design. A successful proposal will
address a broad spectrum of design arenas—ranging from the shape of consumer products and software to the social features of built spaces—to identify common themes and useful insights.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Research Team Seminars: </b>With funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF), SAR offers a Research Team Seminar program to advance collaborative and interdisciplinary research in anthropology. The program supports at least two
seminars each year for research teams that need focused time together to synthesize, analyze, and discuss the results of their work; to develop plans for successful completion of their projects; and/or to plan new projects. Eligible research projects will
be those in which the central focus is on a question of anthropological importance; teams that are interdisciplinary and international in scope are especially encouraged to apply.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Short Seminars: </b>The School sponsors two- to three-day seminars that provide scholars with the opportunity to explore critical topics on human culture, evolution, history, and creative expression. These short sessions enable participants
to assess recent developments and chart new directions on an anthropological topic as well as to plan additional conferences, symposia, publications, and/or research proposals.<o:p></o:p></p>
