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 Jennifer Gabriel is the current postgraduate representative.
Jennifer Gabriel is also the Chairperson of the subcommittee that runs ANSA. If you have any concerns or issues you would like to raise with Jennifer email her: Jennifer.Gabriel1@jcu.edu.au.
The AAS Postgraduate Subcommittee that runs ANSA currently has representatives from; ANU, Macquarie University, University of Melbourne, University of Western Australia, Sydney University, James Cook University, University of Western Sydney and an ex officio member from the University of Otago University, New Zealand.
In addition to this ANSA has successfully negotiated funds for three AAS Conference Postgraduate Scholarships through AAS and Anthropos Consulting.
