Call for Proposals: AAA Community Engagement Grants

AAA Community Engagement Grants offers two $1,000 grants for AAA sections to support events that engage communities and extend Anthropology’s reach beyond the annual meeting. There are no restrictions on the kind of event that may be proposed, but the funds must be used only for rental of off-site space in the annual meeting host city or for an honorarium for a community leader. The event must be open to all AAA meeting attendees.

Please provide a proposal including the following information to Kim Baker, AAA Manager, Organizational Governance (kbaker@americananthro.org) by March 28 2017.
