Calling all linguistic anthropology undergraduates!
Do you have a stellar research paper that you would like to share with the wider professional community of linguistic anthropologists?
Submit to SLA’s Annual Student Essay Contest!
Every year the Society for Linguistic Anthropology (SLA) confers an award for a distinguished undergraduate research paper. Selected winner will be awarded $500, a certificate of accomplishment, and a $300 travel grant to the AAA Annual Meeting in San Jose (CA), November 14 – 18, 2018. In addition, the winning essay will be considered for publication in our signature journal, Journal of Linguistic Anthropology. Essays will be judged on the basis of research contributions to the field of linguistic anthropology, clarity, organization, and engagement with existing scholarship. If this sounds like a paper you have, and it has been written within the last two years, and has not previously been published, then considering submitting your essay to the SLA contest.
