The CABA-ACAB Student Field School & Training Course Bursary is now open! Applications due April 19, 2024

Posted by dpadmin on Mon, Mar 18, 2024

The CABA-ACAB Student Field School & Training Course Bursary is a funding opportunity available to undergraduate and graduate students participating in national and international field programs or training courses related to biological anthropology. As an organization, CABA-ACAB takes pride in its large and vibrant student membership and, as such, this bursary is meant to offset some of the costs associated with these important experiential opportunities for our student membership. Two bursaries will be awarded each year, one at the undergraduate level and one at the graduate level. Application adjudication will be based on the quality of the proposal, its relevance to the student’s academic interests, the budget justification, and the existence of financial need. EDI applicants will be prioritized.

Application deadline: APRIL 19th 2024

Anti-Racism Position Statement from CAPA Subcommittee for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Posted by sarahduignan on Sat, Jun 6, 2020

We, as Members of The Canadian Association for Physical Anthropology /L’Association Canadienne d’Anthropologie Physique (CAPA-ACAP), recognize that while race is a biological fallacy, it is a sociocultural reality with profound lived consequences. Racism is real. The structural racism present in Canada has direct biological and social consequences that disproportionately affect individuals of the Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities.
