Please share this with faculty and students: An Advance CALL FOR PAPERS: South Carolina Anthropology Student Conference, April 2009
The Anthropology Department at the University of South Carolina would like to invite students to participate in the South Carolina Anthropology Student Conference on April 18th, 2009.

This conference will feature student presenters at both the undergraduate and graduate level and will provide a friendly forum to practice submitting a proposal and presenting a conference paper. This forum also allows for students to receive constructive feedback from fellow students and professors on their work in progress. It also provides a great venue to meet people with similar research interests and to learn more about the Anthropology program at the University of South Carolina. Attendance of this event is open to the public.

Papers should be anthropological in nature and concerned with understanding and explore humanity from a comprehensive and holistic approach. This includes the study of human origins, variation, language, societies (institutions, beliefs, social relations, and all the other aspects of human culture, whether past or present. We want to encourage the participation of students interested in the study of anthropology in this conference, which is organized by students with student research in mind.

Abstracts should be 250 words or less and be submitted by February 27th. Should you have any questions at all about the scope of the conference please contact scasc09@gmail.com
Fees: In the past the fee has been about $8 – $10 and covers lunch. We want to include not only anthropology students, but also others in history, geography, sociology, religion, philosophy, etc. who meet the guidelines.
