The Gender and Young Scholars (GYS) Sub-Committee of the Caribbean Studies Association is pleased to announce…
The First Annual CSA Graduate Student Essay Contest
The GYS invites individuals who are students in a degree-granting program (including M.A. and Ph.D.) at the time of their submission to send research essays between 6000 and 8000 words centering on the analysis of political, cultural, literary and/or socio-economic phenomena in the Caribbean region and its diasporae. We encourage submissions that expand the purview of Caribbean Studies and challenge us to think beyond traditional divisions among disciplines and conventional approaches to areas, while maintaining a focus on historical or emergent concerns within the region and its outposts. Essays will be read and evaluated by a committee of readers chosen from the GYS Sub-Committee and the broader CSA membership. The winner will be announced in the CSA newsletter, and the winning paper will be published in the peer-reviewed journal of the Association of Black Anthropologists, Transforming Anthropology (http://www.wiley.com/bw/journal.asp?ref=1051-0559&site=1).
Submissions should be sent to:
Deborah A. Thomas
Associate Professor and Editor, Transforming Anthropology
Department of Anthropology
University of Pennsylvania
3260 South Street, Museum 335
Philadelphia, PA 19104
USA
deborah.thomas@sas.upenn.edu
Electronic submissions are preferred, but mailed hard copies of essays will also be accepted. Please use one of the following formats: Word, rtf, or pdf
Deadline: 15 January 2010
As the chief publication of the Association of Black Anthropologists, Transforming Anthropology advances scholarship across the four fields of anthropology and beyond. We seek contributions that reflect the dynamic, transnational, and contested conditions of social worlds, and work that pushes the boundaries of discipline and genre. The publication interrogates the contemporary and historical construction of social inequalities based on race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, nationality and other invidious distinctions. We remain committed to publishing material that generates dialogues among communities of scholars, activists, artists, and the people with whom they work. Transforming Anthropology is published semiannually. We invite submissions of research articles for peer review, book and film reviews or review essays, as well as short commentaries, research reports, interviews, and other innovative formats.

About CSA
The Caribbean Studies Association (CSA) is an independent professional organization devoted to the promotion of Caribbean studies from a multidisciplinary, multicultural point of view. It is the primary association for scholars and practitioners working on the Caribbean Region (including Central America and the Caribbean Coast of South America). Its members come from the Caribbean Region, North America, South America, Central America, Europe and elsewhere even though more than half of its members live in the United States many of them teaching at U.S. universities and colleges. Founded in 1974 by 300 Caribbeanists, the CSA now h as over 1100 members.
The Caribbean Studies Association enjoys non-profit status and is independent of any public or private institution. Membership is open to anyone interested in sharing its objectives, regardless of academic discipline, profession, ideology, place of residence, ethnic origin, or nationality.
The focus of the CSA is on the Caribbean Basin which includes Central America, the Caribbean Coast of Mexico, as well as Venezuela, Columbia, Northeast Brazil and the three Guianas. The Association serves a critical function for scholars providing one of the only venues for persons working on the Caribbean to come together to share their work, to engage in collaborative endeavors, to exchange ideas, to meet each other, and to develop the field of Caribbean Studies. Most importantly, the Caribbean Studies Association has become potentially one of the most important vehicles for researching, analyzing, and documenting the growing significant presence of populations of Caribbean descent in United States, Canada, and Europe. It provides the perfect venue for maintaining the intellectual and academic connections needed to study this growing phenomenon.
Members of CSA have played leading roles in the Caribbean, most notably in public service and in academia. These include current and past service as leaders of governments, administrators in multilateral and bi-lateral regional organizations. Many of our current members serve in senior positions at Caribbean, North American, and European universities.
