Important Change to GSA Grants Policy
Please be aware of changes to GSA Grants Policy!
Starting tomorrow, March 16th, the GSA will be transitioning to a new grants policy. This policy will be available in our
Points of Policy on the GSA website.
We will no longer have a lottery system for grants. If you would like your grant application to be considered in the lottery system, you must submit your application by the close of business today, March 15th.
Beginning tomorrow, grant applications will be considered through a review process. In each month, applicants will be selected based on financial and academic need by a review panel of their peers. Decisions will be made by the end of each month. Funding approved by these decisions will be available for use within the 120 days following the decision. The deadline for applications will be the 15th of each month. Therefore, if you want to use grant funds in May, you must apply by April 15th.
More information about the new policy will be forthcoming. If you would like to serve on the review panel for grants, please look for a call for reviewers which will go out soon.
Thank you,
GSA

Visit From Anthropologist Claudia Strauss
Various Activities on March 14th
This is an invitation for all anthropologists, ethnographers, and researchers of culture!
The Department Sociology, Anthropology, and Health Administration & Policy as invited anthropologist Claudia Strauss to campus next week. Strauss is a cognitive anthropologist from Pitzer College who looks at personal meanings of cultural complexity primarily through research regarding work and class in the U.S. While she is here, she will be giving a lecture as part of the Social Science Forum and will also be offering a methods workshop:
1) Social Science Forum: Wednesday, March 14, from 7-8pm on the 7th Floor of the Library. Dr. Strauss will speak about "Achieving the American Dream or Not: Immigrants’ Narratives Following the Great Recession" (See flyer attached)
2) Methods Workshop: The Anthropology Program will be hosting an informal Method Workshop during "free hour" the day of the Forum: Wednesday, March 14, from 12-1 in PUP 204 (lunch provided) for faculty and students who are especially interesting in analyzing interview material or other transcripts. Dr. Strauss has agree to speak about methods she has developed to extract and analyze culture in interviews and other statements. These include ways to get at conventional discourses, links between personal experience and cultural models, and conflicting ideas within individuals and within social groups. These methods that examine the said as well as the unsaid allow her to examine the effects of layered cultural learning, use of culture by individuals, and different forms of power.
3) Dinner? A few of us may be taking Claudia out for a quick dinner before the Forum. Let
Dr. Bambi Chapin know if you are interested in joining!
