APLA & NAPA Career Panels

APLA Career Panels @ AAAs

The Association for Political and Legal Anthropology (APLA) has organized
two special panels for graduate students and recent Ph.D.s interested in
learning more about career options and the current state of job markets.
One panel will focus on the academic job market – how to seek, land, and
flourish in an academic position that is right for you. The second panel,
co-sponsored by the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology
(NAPA), will be devoted to careers practicing anthropology in political and
legal fields beyond the academic department.

The panels are designed to be as interactive as possible, with ample time
for Q&A between attendees and our distinguished panelists. Attendance is
free and open, but requires sending an RSVP to aplagradworkshops@gmail.com
by Wednesday, November 14.
