Greetings,
The following is the first call for those who wish to participate in
the 35th Annual Meeting of the Northeastern Anthropological Association (NEAA).
The NEAA is a large regionally based association, uniting anthropologists of
all varieties, as well as kindred spirits. The meetings are professionally
run, but informal. Student participation is *highly* valued --whether as
observers or (preferably) as presenters of papers and/or organizers of
symposia. Inter-(sub)disciplinary efforts are encouraged. For more about
the meetings, read on!!

>
> The 1995 meeting of the Northeastern Anthropological Association will

> location, the Lake Placid Holiday Inn Sportspree, amidst the High Peaks of
> the Adirondacks. As last year, the NEAA meetings will be held in
> conjunction with the Undergraduate Anthropology meetings. Therefore,
> undergraduate students should be encouraged to attend and participate as
> well.
>
> The conference will provide housing and all accommodations in a single
> facility and at low cost, thus assuring that the participants will have the
> maximum opportunity to meet and talk, and that faculty, graduate and
> undergraduate students can afford to attend.
>
> The 1995 meetings are co-hosted by six northern institutions: SUNY Potsdam,
> SUNY Plattsburgh, St. Lawrence University, Clarkson University, SUNY
> Canton, and North Country Community College. The first four co-hosted the
> successful 1985 meetings in Lake Placid.
>
> The meetings will begin on Sunday evening with the first of several special
> events: an careers advice panel discussion aimed at undergraduates and
> their advisors. Monday evening features an Adirondack theme banquet
> followed by the keynote address. This year's address will be by two
> cultural anthropologists, Frederick Errington (Trinity College) and Deborah
> Gewertz (Amherst College), in a presentation entitled, "Toward an
> Ethnographically Grounded Study of Modernity in Papua-New Guinea."
>
> Scheduled for Tuesday noon is the Presidential Luncheon followed by the
> Presidential Lecture. Archaeologist and NEAA President Barbara Calogero
> will deliver a talk entitled, "How Do We Squeeze the Venus of Willendorf
> into Our Hunter-Gatherer Models?"
>
> Later, Tuesday afternoon's business meeting takes up the crucial
> question--much reported in recent issues of this column-- of whether or not
> to become an independent tax-exempt organization.
>
> The business meeting will be followed by a wine tasting workshop. After the
> workshop we present a special plenary panel session on "Multiculturalism on
> Campus: Is Anthropology in the Game?" A well-stocked book exhibit and
> continuous film viewings will complement the week's program.
