Prof. Christopher Krupa Publishes New Book
Prof. Krupa's new co-edited (with David Nugent of Emory University) volume, State
Theory and Andean Politics: New Approaches to the Study of Rule, has just been
published by The University of Pennsylvania Press. Focusing on the everyday, extraofficial,
and frequently invisible or partially concealed permutations of rule in the lives of Andean
people, the essays in this collection explore the material and cultural processes by which
states come to appear as real and tangible parts of everyday life. Includes contributions
from ten Andeanist scholars and theoretical engagements from Akhil Gupta and Gyanendra
Pandey. Further details at http://www.upenn.edu/pennpress/book/15370.html

2015 AAA Leadership Fellows Program
The AAA Leadership Fellows Program provides a unique
opportunity for anthropologists early in their careers to learn about
leadership opportunities within the association. Each year a group
of three to five fellows will be paired with a mentor chosen from

throughout the year to answer questions related to AAA. Fellows
shadow their mentors at the AAA Annual Meeting in meetings of
the Executive Board, Association Committees, and Section
Committees. In addition, fellows are invited to attend the AAA
Donors Reception and a Leadership Fellows Social bringing
together past and present cohorts of fellows. Applications must be
submitted by April 6.

For more than 25 years, the Society for Cultural Anthropology has
been distinguished by having the largest graduate student
membership of any section of the American Anthropological
Association. Recognizing that doctoral students are among the most
experimentally minded and often among the best read of
ethnographic writers, the SCA wants to know: Who is on your
reading horizon? This spirit gave rise to the Cultural Horizons
Prize, awarded yearly by a jury of doctoral students, for the best
article appearing in Cultural Anthropology during the preceding
year. The 2014 Horizons Prize was awarded to Kevin Lewis
O'Neill (U of T) for his article, “Left Behind: Security, Salvation,
and the Subject of Prevention”Cultural Anthropology 28, no. 2
(November 2013): 204-26.
The SCA is soliciting doctoral graduate students to serve as
volunteers on the prize jury. The work involves reading through the
2014 volume of Cultural Anthropology over the summer, and
delivering a collective decision by early August. Each member of the
jury will receive a modest honorarium to help defray costs of
attending the 2015 AAA meetings, in order to present the award to
the recipient.
For the selection of the jury, we aim to cover the widest range of
interests consonant with SCA membership, as well as SCA's spirit
that prioritizes interdisciplinarity, ethnography, theoretical
innovation, and literariness. To apply, please send:
-A paragraph-length statement of research interests and
qualifications;
-A current curriculum vitae;
-A short (one paragraph) note of recommendation from a
dissertation committee member.
Applications may be sent to: Ana Maria Ochoa at
ao2110@columbia.edu. Please use "Honors Prize Committee" in
the subject heading when submitting your application. The
application deadline is April 15, 2015.

monograph and another for an edited volume.
To nominate a work, please submit one copy of the book or edited
volume to each of the four committee members, with the author or

Water and Power in Past
Societies, 8th Visiting
Scholars Conferences of the
Institute for European and
Mediterranean
Archaeology, April 11-12,
2015, SUNY Buffalo
Water and Power in Past Societies seeks to bring together
theoretically-situated, data-rich studies of how water as a resource
relates to the formation, maintenance, destruction, or prevention of
social inequalities at both intra-and inter-group scales. In assessing
how water is used as a resource, the temporality of water’s behaviors
over the span of the study period should be explicitly addressed,
whether these behaviors result in slow change, sudden change,
continuity, or some combination of the three. Further info and

African Heritage Challenges:
Development and Sustainability
Conference, May 15-16, 2015,
University of Cambridge
The African Heritage Challenges
conference is the 16th Annual
Heritage Seminar at the University
of Cambridge. The conference
explores the ways in which heritage
can promote, secure or undermine
sustainable development in Africa,
and in turn, how this development
affects conceptions of heritage in Africa. As the countries of Africa
attempt to forge burgeoning economies and societies in the twentyfirst century, cultural heritage has a role to play as the nexus where
the past and the future meet. To register and view the programme,

scientists will be available to supervise on specific requests the
students might have.The main topics of the course will be human
health related to environmental impacts, lifestyle choices, food
security, climate change and practical statistical methods.

Jean Monnet PhD
Summer School on
Security and Justice
in Europe, June 814, 2015,
University of Dundee
The Jean Monnet Summer School is organised with the support of
the Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) of the European Union.
It offers an intensive, interactive and interdisciplinary approach to
the study of the complex issues of security and justice in Europe,
including amongst others the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice
(AFSJ) (formerly 'Justice and Home Affairs') and the Common
Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), as well as the impact of these
policies on fundamental rights and liberties. It examines the latest
empirical developments and theoretical approaches, in addition to
featuring research methods and general doctoral training sessions.
In addition, all participants will present their research project and
will receive constructive feedback on it. They will also be
encouraged to contribute to the two main publications related to
the Summer School on the basis of their research project.
The Summer School is intended for students of any discipline
writing or planning to write a PhD thesis on any topic related to
justice and security in Europe, including amongst others any aspect
of the European Union's Area of Freedom, Security and Justice
(AFSJ) and the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).

Experimental Archaeology & Beer Production, July 29August 19, 2015, Cyprus
HARP will be running an Experimental Archaeology Field School
in the village of Kissonerga, Cyprus that aims to recreate an
installation that was likely used for beer production in the Middle
Bronze Age. The original structure has been excavated as part of a
research excavation run by Dr. Lindy Crewe of the University of
Manchester since 2007. The site of Kissonerga-Skalia is a Middle
Bronze Age settlement that has revealed a series of domestic
dwellings that were superseded by a phase of monumental
construction. The village of Kissonerga is incredibly rich in
archaeological sites with some of the world’s oldest Neolithic wells
at Kissonerga-Mylouthkia, the Chalcolithic settlement of
Kissonerga-Mosphillia, as well as the settlement of Skalia.
The aims of the Field School are to build a fourth installation using
slightly different construction techniques than in previous seasons,
and to produce beer using methods likely dating back to the Bronze
Age. The 2015 kiln will be used to dry malted grains before the
grains are crushed using traditional techniques. The crushed malt
will then be used to make beer using locally sourced ingredients and
traditional brewing techniques. Participants will also get the
opportunity to excavate the remains of the 2013 and 2014 kiln in
order to learn excavation skills and test our excavation hypotheses
for the kiln. Further info here.
