Call for Nominations: Diane Forsythe Prize
by Betsey Brada

The Diana Forsythe Prize was created in 1998 to celebrate the best book
or series of published articles in the spirit of Diana Forsythe's feminist
anthropological research on work, science, and/or technology, including
biomedicine. The Prize is awarded annually at the meeting of the American
Anthropological Association by a committee consisting of one representative
from the Society for the Anthropology of Work (SAW) and two from the
Committee on the Anthropology of Science, Technology, and Computing
(CASTAC). It is supported by the General Anthropology Division (GAD) and
Bern Shen.

Self-nominations are welcomed. To be eligible, books must have been
published in the last five years (copyright 2009 or later). The current
