CALL FOR PAPERS

The new editors of Practicing Anthropology -- Jayne Howell and Ron Loewe -- are issuing a call for
manuscripts.

Practicing Anthropology is an editor-reviewed, as opposed to a peer-reviewed, journal
and publishes relatively short articles (3,500 words) on topics of general concern to
anthropologists inside and outside the academy.

Case studies in medical anthropology, education, international development, tourism,
business, etc., which address important substantive, ethical or policy concerns in the
practice of anthropology are welcome.

The editors also invite submissions relating to anthropologically-oriented program evaluations,
social impact assessment, and cultural resource management as well as innovations in the
teaching of anthropology.

While articles do not require extensive citations, manuscripts should discuss the methodologies
employed and be well-grounded.

The editors will consider proposals for issues on a particular theme involving five or more articles;
however articles will still be evaluated on an individual basis.

Submissions or inquiries should be sent to Ron Loewe and Jayne Howell at [e-mail].
