Papers and Publications
Our department emphasizes the importance of graduate student publishing and academic conference participation. We assist graduate students in the following ways:
-
An annual workshop on publishing, including behind-the-scenes accounts of the publishing process by faculty members.
-
Individual mentoring and editing assistance for publication.
-
An annual workshop on writing abstracts for conferences.
-
Assistance in public speaking and presenting at conferences.
-
Opportunities throughout the year for graduate students to practice presenting papers.
Conference Papers
Each year, Brandeis has a strong presence at the American Anthropological Association annual meeting, with papers being presented by current graduate students, faculty and other Brandeis scholars.

Other conferences at which our students have recently presented papers include the annual meetings of the American Ethnological Society; Association for Asian Studies; International Conference on Anthropology and Urban Conflict; North American Conference on Media, Communication, and Culture; Society for Economic Anthropology; and the Society for Visual Anthropology.
