Robert M. Netting Best Student Paper Prize

C&A invites anthropology graduate and undergraduate students to submit papers for the 2011
Robert M. Netting Award in Culture & Agriculture. The Graduate and Undergraduate winners
will receive cash awards of $750 and $250, respectively, and have the opportunity for a direct
consultation with the editors of our section’s journal, CAFÉ (Culture, Agriculture, Food and
Environment) ), toward the goal of revising the paper for publication. Submissions should
draw on relevant literature from any subfield of Anthropology, and present data from original
research related to livelihoods based on crop, livestock, or fishery production and forestry and/
or management of agricultural and environmental resources. Papers should be single-authored,
limited to a maximum of 7,000 words, including endnotes, appendices, and references, and
should follow American Anthropologist format style.

Papers already published or accepted for publication are not eligible. Only one submission per student is allowed. Submitters need not be members of the American Anthropological Association but they must be enrolled students. (Students graduating in the Spring of 2012 are eligible). The submission deadline is August 30, 2012. For information about the 2012 Netting Award please contact Joan Mencher (joan.mencher@gmail.com), Chair of the Netting Award Selection Committee. The winner will be announced at the C&A Business meeting at the 2012 AAA Annual Meeting in San Francisco. This meeting will start at 6:15PM on Saturday evening in the Hilton San Francisco in Continental 7. A reception will follow.
