Anthropology class-sponsored student research in the pacific northwest

Jona Special publication #9

manuscript submission EXTENDED deadline: october 15, 2023

Involving students in anthropological and archaeological research has long been a standard part of the Anthropology B.A. and M.A. degrees. The aim of JONA Special Publication #9 is to present the variety of research being conducted by anthropology classes across the Pacific Northwest. The goals of Special Publication #9 are to provide models for research projects that others can adapt, and to assist these research projects in publishing and sharing their findings. As with recent collections, essays should follow the JONA short essay format (i.e., 1,500 words, plus or minus 500 words, not including figures, tables, and references).

Manuscripts should be submitted to the JONA offices by October 15, 2023; feel free to contact us with questions, to discuss ideas, or to request an extended deadline.

What Are We Searching for?

Anthropological and Archaeological Research in the PAcific Northwest

The twelve essays published provide insight into the types of research that are ongoing across the Northwest. The collection suggests a healthy balance of research touching on ethnography, linguistics, prehistory, ethnobotany, history, experimental, method, and theory. The collection includes cases from the earliest inhabitants (10,000+ years ago) at the Lind Coulee rock shelter, ethnohistoric groups in the Cascades, and the impact of amenity migration on farmers and ranchers living in Teton Valley, Idaho, today. Some authors comment on research that was conducted decades ago, others describe research being conducted today, and still others detail the research they hope to pursue, or have others pursue, in the future.

How Do we reach more?

SHARING CULTURAL AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH WITH OTHERS

Anthropologists, archaeologists, and others working with cultural groups have a long—if inadequate—history of sharing their results with the public, the cultural groups they work with, and others. In this collection of essays from the Pacific Northwest, researchers describe public-oriented projects they have been involved with and their perspectives on sharing information with others. Readers will find within a plethora of examples they can draw upon to design their own approaches for working with external audiences.

WHY DON’T WE WRITE MORE?

ESSAYS ON WRITING AND PUBLISHING
ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH

The editors of the Journal of Northwest Anthropology invited colleagues to share their perspectives on anthropological writing and publishing in an essay format. The purpose was to collect experiences, insights, and suggestions from experienced authors to assist other professionals in writing and publishing their own research. The group includes academic and practicing anthropologists, archaeologists, and ecologists. Collectively, the group has written or co-written more than 150 books, 150 chapters in books, and more than 1,100 articles in professional journals.

The essays contain personal writing-related anecdotes and philosophies, describe the changes occurring in the publishing industry, explore the benefits that can accrue from writing, and provide tips to improve one’s writing to increase the chances of getting published.
