Award Students are invited to submit applications for
the CAPE Field Study Award. One or two awards of up to $500, subject to
approval by the CAPE Awards Committee, will be granted annually. The
principal objective will be to defray travel expenses for reconnaissance
field work for intended thesis or dissertation research, and the award will
be oriented primarily to those without other substantial funding. The award
is not intended to finance dissertation field work, rather to finance either
a) research for a Master’s degree or b) reconnaissance field work that should
allow a student to complete a fundable dissertation proposal. Eligible
candidates must be a member of the AAG and Proposals should include: 1) title page with name of applicant, address and
phone number, title of intended research, starting date and duration of field
reconnaissance, and location of research; 2) project description of no more than 1000 words
(excluding references) of proposed travel and research, expected
significance, and probable research methodology; 3) list of cited references; 4) statement of how award will be allocated, e.g.
air travel, surface travel, food and lodging, etc.; 5) curriculum vitae. A copy of your proposal should reach the CAPE Secretary/treasurer, by March 21,
2011. Notification of the results will be made as soon as possible after the
deadline. The results will be announced in the Newsletters of the Cultural
& Political Ecology Specialty Group and the AAG. Questions? please
