As of March 13, 2020, the American Association of Physical Anthropologists 89th annual meeting in Los Angeles, California, has been cancelled. As an affiliate of the AAPA’s, this means that our meeting and events are subsequently cancelled. What does this mean?
Any social events (i.e. “Let’s Do Lunch”) are cancelled.
Our annual workshop is cancelled, and will be run next year in Baltimore with the same program. If you registered, you will be getting an email from our communications officer, Emma Lagan If you do not receive an email from her, please email her at: lagan.2@osu.edu. You may also choose to donate your workshop fee to the organization, or use the fee for next year’s workshop. Please be patient in receiving your refund during this time.
Of our student prizes, we are still accepting applications for the Dahlberg Paper Competition, with an extended deadline of April 30. Please note any submissions cannot be under contract with another academic journal, as the winner will be published in Dental Anthropology, our flagship journal. The CUP Poster Prize is cancelled for 2020. For any questions regarding these competitions please email Cathy Willermet at: wille2cm@cmich.edu
Our officers will post officer updates on the website as “Virtual Meeting Minutes” mid-April.
Elections will be held virtually for Treasurer and Secretary. Emails will go out to the members in late March or April. If you are not an active member, register here.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, you may contact our communications officer, Emma Lagan at lagan.2@osu.edu , and she will answer your question or direct you to the appropriate party.
We wish you happiness and safety during these times.
