Mission:
Culture is CASCA's electronic newsletter and is published twice a year online.
CASCA Culture Blog on Wordpress
Culture seeks to promote the work being done by anthropologists and CASCA members. Culture's niche is to allow a venue for publishing material that is not suitable for inclusion in our academic journal Anthropologica and yet deserves greater attention and content than an announcement posted on the web or distributed to the membership via our listserv.
Content:
The newsletter aims to publishing interesting and relevant submissions, while aiming to ensure an visually attractive presentation of the content with excellent design and carefully selected images and photos. The type of content we have published in the past included:
- Short biographies of noteworthy anthropologists highlighting their life's works;
- Innovative research being conducted by CASCA members and Canadian anthropologists;
- Discussion pieces examining critical social and political issues;
- Short research notes highlighting the work being done by anthropologists;
- Spotlighting anthropological programs: publicizing the excellent anthropology programs and departments across the country;
- Photos from the field;
- Etc...
Call for submission of articles and events:
We are currently accepting articles and discussion pieces, news items, event announcements and book notes for the next issue.
We especially encourage CASCA members to submit pieces that would address the exclusion from an anthropological point of view.
