The Association for Queer Anthropology (AQA) invites nominations for our new Distinguished Achievement Award! The Award honors outstanding contributions to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer anthropology through scholarship, research, teaching, mentoring, service, public engagement, and/or activism. We seek to honor our elders, recognize lifetime career achievements, and build community by connecting generations of AQA scholars.
Nominate yourself, your mentors, your friends, your teachers, your lovers! Send names of nominees to Margot Weiss (mdweiss@wesleyan.edu), the Chair of the 2018 Distinguished Achievement Award Committee, by September 1 2018. All nominations will be reviewed by the 2018 committee; you are welcome to note, along with names, any particularly significant accomplishments. All nominees must be living; we will honor awardees at the AQA Business Meeting at the annual meetings.

On behalf of AQA and the Award Committee, thank you for your assistance getting this new award off the ground!!
