ANSA - Australian Network of Student Anthropologists
ANSA, the Australian Network of Student Anthropologists, is an initiative of postgraduate students within the Australian Anthropological Society (AAS). It has been established to encourage interaction between postgraduates, early career anthropologists and anthropology students in general. Part of its purpose was also to organise the selection and election of a postgraduate representative to the Executive Committee of the AAS. This has been achieved and Richard Martin is the current postgraduate representative. Richard Martin is also the Chairperson of the subcommittee that runs ANSA. If you have any concerns or issues you would like to raise with Richard email him: martir09@student.uwa.edu.au.
The AAS Postgraduate Subcommittee that runs ANSA currently has representatives from La Trobe University, the University of Southern Queensland, and the University of Western Australia.
In addition to this ANSA has successfully negotiated funds for three AAS Conference Postgraduate Scholarships through AAS and Anthropos Consulting.
