New Deadline: SAS Student and ECR Research Support Award

NEW DEADLINE! Applications are due on 07 January 2022 for the Society for Archaeological Sciences’ Research Support Award. More details below and here.

Program Description

The Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS) announces a new, more flexible, research funding program to support the work of its student and early career members during the COVID-19 pandemic. The SAS Research Support temporarily replaces the existing Student Research International Travel Award and a Postdoctoral Conference Travel Award that was to have debuted in 2020. In light of most in-person conferences, symposia, and workshops being postponed or canceled, we have decided to channel the budget that was originally allocated for the two above travel awards to a more flexible research funding scheme to cover laboratory and fieldwork expenses.

Eligibility

The applicants must be either graduate students (Master’s or Doctoral) or early career researchers. In the latter case, they must have been awarded their PhD within the previous eight years at the time of application. Exceptions may be made for the applicants with a career break, such as but not limited to parental leave, long-term illness or disability, or national service. The circumstances for exceptions must be clearly indicated in the application.
The award is only open to graduate students and early career researchers who are current dues-paid members of The Society for Archaeological Sciences at the time of application.
Applications for the award should be submitted by 07 January 2022 and must be made before the analyses and field research take place.
Please see the full award program announcement here for application procedures, evaluation criteria, and terms and conditions.

Apply to graduate school at UNM

Apply to the Graduate Program at the University of New Mexico!

From the UNM website: “The MFA degree is offered in Studio; an MA can be pursued in Art Education; and the MA and PhD degrees are possible in Art History. In all of the work leading to these degrees, the importance of the arts as communication, in the past, the present and the future, is pivotal. This belief is the keystone of our programs, and it is the foundation for our primary goal, which is to expose students to the richness of art through a wide range of new and traditional media. We also seek to develop critical thought in our classes, and the practice and methods for understanding the teaching of the arts and the history of art.”

New Directions in Caribbean Archaeology with Diane Wallman

The next webinar in the New Directions in Caribbean Archaeology series will take place on Monday, December 6, 2021 from 3 to 4:15 PM. Diane Wallman (University of South Florida) will present: “Archaeology at the Crossroads: Emerging Materialities of Early Colonial Encounters in the Caribbean.”

This presentation will discuss archaeological explorations of Indigenous-European interactions in the colonial Caribbean. Contemporary research, such as that at the site of LaSoye on the island of Dominica, interrogates the political, economic, and socioecological consequences of European settler colonialism on Indigenous communities and landscapes. This scholarship focuses on local materialities that reflect entanglement within the larger colonial structures, exploring themes of Indigenous resilience and agency in the face of encroaching European conquest.

Diane Wallman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida. Her research interests include historical archaeology, zooarchaeology, environmental archaeology, European colonialism, and Atlantic slavery.

This webinar is part of the series New Directions in Caribbean Archaeology.

This talk is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required. Register here.
