Call for Pitches
Council for Museum Anthropology’s Museum Anthropology Blog
American Anthropological Association
The Council for Museum Anthropology’s Museum Anthropology Blog is looking to highlight student voices on its blog.
Have you seen an exciting and thought-provoking exhibition this summer that you want to share with the museum anthropology community? Is there a topic you discussed in a course that you want to reflect on more? Have you read a recent news article you want to comment on? Do you want to tell colleagues about a curatorial/research project you are doing (or did)?
Posts can be written about any relevant theme, and we welcome submissions from both undergraduate and graduate students.
Possible topics include:
– Reviews of a recent book or exhibition
– Critical reflections on an internship or fellowship, curatorial/research project you have undertaken, or a recent museum event you attended
– Commentaries on recent events in the museum world
– Discussions that explore a specific object, museum feature, or mode of museum practice
Guest posts can range from 500 to 1,000 words. Rolling deadline.
Please submit a 300-word pitch and 50-word author bio to CMA blog manager Emily Hayflick
(eh664@cornell.edu) and CMA secretary & chair of the communications committee Lillia McEnaney (mcenaneylillia@gmail.com).
