The Canadian Archaeological Association – Student Publishing Workshop
Are you a student of archaeology? Do you have a paper or thesis that you'd like to publish, but are not sure how to proceed?
The CAA Student Committee, in collaboration with outgoing and incoming Canadian Journal of Archaeology (CJA) editors, would like to invite students who are interested in and/or struggling with publications to a special Student Publishing Workshop at the 46th Annual CAA Meeting in Whistler 2013.
Our goal for this workshop is to provide a step-by-step outline of how to work your course paper or thesis into a solid article ready for publication as painlessly as possible. The workshop’s structure will depend on the number of student’s that sign up as well their specific interests. While we welcome registration at anytime, we encourage students to sign up early so that we can cater the event to participants’ needs. For this reason, students who sign up by mid April will have an added opportunity to engage in preparatory activities including familiarizing themselves with the peer review process (with actual reviewers’ comments from previously published papers) and formulating specific questions for the CJA editors about improving their own manuscripts.
Please contact the CAA Student Committee at caa.students@gmail.com if you would like to participate or for more information. The workshop date/time will be confirmed upon release of the preliminary conference schedule.
We welcome all students, undergraduate and graduate alike!
The Canadian Archaeological Association – ‘How to Apply to Grad School’ Seminar
Are you an undergraduate or Masters student? Do you have aspirations to undertake a higher degree in Archaeology but feel a need to be better informed about what the application process might have in store?
The CAA Student Committee would like to invite students who are interested in graduate school application to a special ‘How to Apply to Graduate Schools in Archaeology’ Seminar at the 46th Annual CAA Meeting in Whistler 2013.
This 30–45 minute interactive seminar will provide an overview of, and helpful tips on, some of the variation in procedures for applying to graduate schools in Canada, the US, England, and Australia based on the host’s previous experiences and familiarities. We find that similar seminars have been most successful when participants number between 5 and 10. For this reason, we encourage students to sign up early. Should student interest be overwhelming we will run a second seminar.
Please contact the CAA Student Committee at caa.students@gmail.com if you would like to participate or for more information. The workshop date/time will be confirmed upon release of the preliminary conference schedule.
We welcome all students, undergraduate and graduate alike!
