[URBANTH-L]ANN: 2nd Annual Public Anthropology Publishing Competitions

[Angela Jancius]

ANN O U N C I N G 2nd ANNUAL PUBLIC ANTHROPOLOGY PUBLISHING COMPETITIONS

The University of California Press in association with the Center for a Public Anthropology are again sponsoring, in 2009, two international competitions focused on encouraging anthropologically inclined authors to address major public problems and broad audiences. Both competitions will award book contracts at early stages in the research/writing process - without the applicant necessarily having completed (or even started) the specified research and/or writing of the specified manuscript.
