Student Anthropology Journal
Just got this in the email--passing it on
Hello Dr. Rubenstein,
Would you be so kind as to circulate this announcement among your students.
Thank you,
Marc Hebert
NASA e-Journal Editor
PhD Student, Anthropology
University of South Florida

E-mail: nasaejournal@gmail.com
Attention grad and undergrad anthro students: Please
consider submitting an article to the new anthropology e-
journal sponsored by the National Assoc. of Student
Anthropologists (NASA). The call for papers (pasted below)
is organized around the theme for the AAA 2008 Annual
Meetings. Completed manuscripts of 1000 words should be
submitted by April 21, 2008 to nasaejournal@gmail.com.
See below for more information...
The National Association of Student Anthropologists (NASA)
will launch its first online publication, The NASA e-
Journal, under the banner of the 2008 American
Anthropological Association conference theme: "Inclusion,
Collaboration, and Engagement."
We seek scholarly submissions from undergraduate and
graduate students worldwide about the application of
anthropological theories and methods outside of academia or
across disciplines for the purpose of exploring,
problematizing, or addressing social problems. Have you
worked in an internship, co-op or another job as a student
anthropologist and wish to reflect on how you relied on your
anthropological training? Perhaps you collaborated with
students from other disciplines at a volunteer organization
and seek to describe the value you added from an
anthropological perspective? Is there a paper you submitted
for a service-learning class where you addressed a social
problem using anthropological methods? Have you done
fieldwork in a community where you sought to create positive
social change in the process of gathering data? Tell us
about it! Scholarly articles should be 1,000 words in length
and will be subject to a double blind review process.
We also welcome innovative commentary submissions to the e-
Journal. Commentaries are opinion or avant-garde pieces of
work which are the original work of the authors. These
submissions are to express the next generation of
anthropologists' ideas, goals and beliefs of the direction
our discipline should head, be it locally, nationally or
globally. We seek a plurality of voices on this issue and
intend to raise awareness among fellow students as well as
more established anthropologists about the direction our
discipline is heading. Commentary submissions might include
such mediums as written pieces (1,000 words in length),
photo stories (10 photos + 1,000 words of commentary in
length) and videos/YouTubeC clips (10-minute maximum in
duration + 1,000 words of commentary in length)
Submission Guidelines:
Please submit a full 1,000 word manuscript for consideration
by midnight EST on April 21, 2008 along with any
accompanying materials.
. Authors should complete their submissions according
to the AAA style guide
(http://aaanet.org/pubs/style_guide.htm).
. Submissions should be saved in Microsoft Word ".doc"
format with the file title being the first author's last
name and first initial. (example: HebertM.doc)
. We invite authors to provide drawings, graphs and
maps to enhance the visual component of each article. These
should be included as separate attachments in the email.
Graphics should be saved as ".jpg" format. The file name
should be the first authors last name, first initial and
then the number of the photo. (example: HebertM1.jpg) Please
also include reference in your text where graphics should be
placed by inserting the above identifier in the text.
. Videos should be provided as a link (if located on a
site such as YouTube) or included as a graphics file in a
readily viewable format such as QuickTime or Windows Media
Player.
. Please send submissions to the e-Journal editorial
team with the subject heading "NASA Manuscripts - Vol. 1" at
nasaejournal@gmail.com.
Authors will be notified regardless if their work has been
selected for publication or not. We look forward to
publishing submissions for Volume 1 of the NASA e-Journal in
the fall of 2008 and spring of 2009.

Internship Assignments and Structure of Class
Much thanks to Jinnie for gathering the information for this outline:
Phase 1: Securing a Site and Getting Oriented
• Document the mission (philosophy) and goals of the organization on your blog (if possible) or hard copy handed in-class. Material for this should come from mission and goals statements written by the organization, or in their absence, from interviews with staff members.
• Introduce yourself to the staff. Get to know not only their names but what they do. Briefly have them give an overview of their experience in the organization (does not have to be done all in one day). Ask them to reflect on how their duties help implement the mission and goals. This purpose of this section is to build rapport, and not to go into depth about their analysis of the organization.
• Connect with your supervisor and e-mail contact information to Professor Rubenstein. Discuss and write out your duties as an intern and post on blog. Discuss the goals of the class with your supervisor, and what you hope to learn about the organization (post a summary of this discussion on your blog). Give your supervisor the sample intern evaluation in the syllabus, and explain that they will be writing and evaluation of your internship experience and sending to Professor Rubenstein. This will be due the last week of class. (see Phase V)
Phase II: Writing about the Internship
• Keep fieldnotes for each internship session, and the end of the week, post a blog summary of your experience. In addition to “what you did,” also reflect on the experience: as Jinnie writes, “the good, the bad, and the ugly.”
• During this 6-8 week period you should be thinking about your final paper. We will discuss topics in class, but we have mentioned “case studies” of processes, or in-depth interviews with staff, Day/Week in the Life, themes such as “Discipline in a Day-Care Center,” and so on. The goal is to focus on an interesting aspect of your experience, and develop it in-depth. This paper will be due at the end of the term.
Phase III: The Final paper (4-5 pages)
• In the last 2-3 weeks of the term, we will meet to work out the structure of each paper, and you will spend that time writing up your results.
Phase IV: Evaluation of the Internship
• The final blog posting will be an overall evaluation of your internship using the criteria in the syllabus, and any other categories we develop in class. The goal here is to reflect on your experience in the organization, your role as an intern, and finally, as a “consultant,” to evaluate how the organization is meeting its mission and goals. You may make “recommendations” for improvement, but of course also point out what the organization is doing well
Phase V: Supervisor Evaluation of Intern
• Using the syllabus evaluation as a suggested template only, have your supervisor send an evaluation to Professor Rubenstein by email (Joe.Rubenstein@Stockton.edu) attachment.
Phase 1: Securing a Site and Getting Oriented
• Document the mission (philosophy) and goals of the organization on your blog (if possible) or hard copy handed in-class. Material for this should come from mission and goals statements written by the organization, or in their absence, from interviews with staff members.
