The program will be run by senior anthropology undergraduate and graduate students. Participants in grade 10, 11, and 12 are welcome to apply for this exciting intensive program, which will run from July 4-8th 2016 (to be confirmed in June 2016).

Functionality and Morphology: Identifying Si Agricultural Tools from Among Hemudu Scapular Implements in Eastern China by Liye Xie et al. Prof. Liye Xie is the lead author on this article appearing in the January 2016 edition of the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory (DOI: 10.1007/s10816-015-9271-x.) This article reviews research results achieved through experimentation and use-wear analysis, which help explain why Hemudu should not be labeled as a farming society. The approaches and results of of Prof. Xie and her co-authors provide a solid base for re-evaluating previous research, and building astandardized database of scientific value for future evaluation and adjustment.

AAA Committee on Gender Equity in Anthropology Award The CoGEA Award (formerly known as the Squeaky Wheel Award), sponsored by the AAA Committee on Gender Equity in Anthropology (CoGEA), recognizes individuals whose service to the discipline (inclusive of research, teaching and mentorship) demonstrates the courage to bring to light and investigate practices in anthropology that are potentially sexist and discriminatory based on gender presentation. Historically, this award has honored those who have acted to raise awareness of women's contributions to anthropology, worked to identify barriers to full participation by women in anthropology, or helped to bring about significant shifts in intellectual paradigms through their anthropological research on women's lives. The CoGEA Award now has an even broader scope. In addition to honoring scholars who work against discrimination against women in anthropology, the committee is interested in honoring feminist scholars who work to raise awareness of discrimination in anthropology on the grounds of gender presentation of any kind. The committee seeks nominations for scholars and practitioners from all subfields of anthropology, at stages ranging anywhere from promising mid-career to proven latecareer, who have acted to improve the status of those discriminated against on the basis of sex or gender identity in anthropology. Nominations should be sent by May 1 to Anne Kelsey, CoGEA Liaison at akelsey@americananthro.org. Awardees and nominators will be notified by July 1. Additional details concerning the CoGEA Award and information about previous CoGEA Award winners can be found here. Association of Feminist Anthropology Dissertation Award $2,000 award to support the writing phase of a dissertation that makes a significant contribution to feminist anthropology Application Deadline: May 1, 2016. To apply, you must be: • A doctoral candidate in anthropology or an interdisciplinary program with significant grounding in anthropological theory and methods. All sub-fields of anthropology are encouraged to apply • An AFA member at the time of submission • In the write-up phase of the dissertation at the time the award is given (November 2016, AAA meeting). Applications will be judged on: • Use of, and engagement with, feminist anthropology in framing the research topic and findings • Significance to feminist anthropology • Originality of dissertation topic or analytic lens • Timeliness or relevance of topic Further info: http://carleton.ca/socanth/wp-content/uploads/Association-of-Feminist-Anthropology-2016-Award.pdf
