>>
>> Hi all (I'll send this to the Programming Chairs Listserv too),
>>
>> I received word from Fran Rothstein, co-chair of the Commission on  
>> World
>> Anthropologies. They're extending their deadlines for two different
>> initiatives they're carrying out at the 2010 AAA meetings. Please  
>> contact them
>> directly if your section might want to take advantage of either of  
>> these
>> programming efforts:
>>
>>
>> 1) International scholarship competition (proposals due March 15,  
>> 2010)
>>
>> The Commission on World Anthropologies (CWA) is seeking proposals  
>> from
>> sections for invited sessions that feature the participation of  
>> international
>> scholars who might otherwise be unable to attend the 2010 AAA  
>> annual meetings.
>> The CWA will contribute up to $1500 to the winning section proposal  
>> to offset
>> the costs of including an international speaker able to bring diverse
>> perspectives relevant to the 2010 New Orleans AAA meetings theme.  
>> Proposals
>> should include a statement detailing the invited speaker, the  
>> proposed
>> session, and the section or sections’ commitment to supplementary  
>> support
>> (such as matching financial contributions, section co-sponsorship,  
>> translation
>> assistance, and registration waivers). Proposals are due January  
>> 10, 2010 and
>> will be reviewed by a joint committee of CWA and Section Assembly  
>> Executive
>> Committee members. Please share this with your program chairs and/ 
>> or contact
>> Ida Susser for more info at: <susseris at gmail.com>
>>
>> 2) Curriculum and syllabus workshop (proposals due March 15, 2010)
>>
>> Although U.S.-based anthropologists working in the global south  
>> often know the
>> research of anthropologists in regions in which they work, language  
>> and access
>> often limit what they know about anthropologies produced in other  
>> parts of the
>> world. CWA would like to work with sections to co-present a  
>> collaborative
>> workshop at the 2010 annual meetings on World Anthropologies  
>> Curriculum and
>> Syllabus Development. If you (or someone you know in your section)  
>> would like
>> to present at the workshop or submit materials (particularly ideas,  
>> courses,
>> topics, and scholarship accessible online for anthropologies  
>> elsewhere) please
>> join us! Please share this with your program chairs and/or contact  
>> Fran
>> Rothstein for more info at: < rothsteinf at montclair.edu>
