ACYIG is now soliciting contributions for the October 2015 issue of our publication, newly titled Neos. We are accepting submissions on a rolling basis between Friday, August 14, 2014 and Friday, September 4, 2015. The final deadline for submission is Friday, September 4th, 2015. If possible, please notify me of your intent to submit by the start of the rolling period (i.e. August 14th), so that I can identify peer reviewers in a timely manner.

All material should be sent to Kate Grim-Feinberg at ACYIG.Editor@gmail.com. Please consider the following types of submissions:

ARTICLES (1000 words or less, including references)

Methods & Ethics in the Anthropology of Children and Youth, in which members explore the methods and ethics of doing research with children or youth.

Childhood and _______ (you fill in the blank!), in which members discuss a topic of interest to their research. 

My Experiences/Intersections with Interdisciplinary Research on Children and Youth, in which members investigate the value, pitfalls, and lessons associated with combining anthropological research with that of other disciplines to study children and youth.

An Ethnography of Children or Youth that has Impacted My Work, in which members discuss their favorite classic or contemporary ethnography of children or youth. Note that this should NOT be written as a book review, but rather as an account of how a particular ethnography has impacted your theoretical or methodological approach, or how it might be used in your teaching.
