Research Submission Information
How to Participate and Join the Conversation
The NEAA meeting is open to everyone (faculty, students, partnering organizations and advocacy groups, artists, etc.) and we strongly encourage your participation, either as a paper presenter, panel organizer and/or discussant, an artist anthropologist wishing to share your creative work, an organizer of a film viewing and discussion, or as a member of an organization wishing to share the work you do and how anthropologists might get involved! Working and advocating in the present is extremely diverse, so let’s ensure that the NEAA meeting reflects that diversity!!
While all anthropological topics are relevant to working and advocating in the present, those interested in submitting a paper/panel/artistic work/etc. can use the Conference Theme to guide their ideas for submission.
Consider Submitting your Scholarship in any of the following categories:
Interactive workshops
Research Posters
Organized Roundtables
Paper Discussion Panels
Please reach out to NortheasternAnthro@gmail.com with any questions regarding submissions and participation. We would love to hear from you!
