Survey for Anthropology Graduate
Students
|
|
On behalf of the American Anthropological
Association's Committee on Practicing, Applied, and Public Interest
Anthropology (CoPAPIA), I am writing to request your assistance in
distributing the AAA online 2009 survey of Masters graduates in
anthropology to your own alumni. We launched the survey earlier in
this month. Your assistance in
distributing the link to the survey and encouraging your alumni to
complete it is essential to its success.
An information page about the survey is found on the AAA web site at:
http://www.aaanet.org/cmtes/copapia/MAalumnisurvey.cfm.
The direct link to the survey itself is also on this page. You may send
either this page link or the direct survey link to your alumni.
The genesis of the survey comes from a number of different interests.
The AAA would like to connect with more Masters alums with regard to
planning services, programs, and benefits. Departments of anthropology
nationwide graduate over 1,000 Masters students per year and yet we
know very little about their careers, their educational experience, and
their needs for organizational affiliation. We have learned that
departments of anthropology would like feedback on their graduate
programs' usefulness as their graduates pursue careers in the broad
array specializations characteristics of the discipline.
In creating the survey, we engaged the advice of an extensive Advisory
Network to provide feedback from all specialties across anthropology.
We are sending the link to academic departments that grant MA degrees,
as well as a number of other groups and list serves. (A list of members
of the Advisory Network is found on the web page mentioned above.)
Results from the survey will be published through the AAA, including
the Anthropology Newsletter and the AAA web site. Individual
respondents can request a copy of the survey report as well. Analysis
will begin in fall 2009 and the report is expected at the end of 2009
or early 2010.
The anonymous survey takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
Queries can be directed to MASurvey2009@aaanet.org.
Those who wish to go directly to the survey (without going through the
CoPAPIA page) can go to the following URL:

“The Road to Stockholm: A Nobel Mission”
LOUIS J. IGNARRO, Nobel Laureate
Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology, UCLA
Dr. Louis J. Ignarro is a Distinguished Professor
of Pharmacology at the UCLA School of Medicine and winner of the 1998
Nobel Prize in Medicine for his groundbreaking discovery of the
importance of Nitric Oxide in cardiovascular health. This discovery
made it possible to develop and market Viagra, the first oral
medication for the effective treatment of erectile dysfunction. As a
result of his role in this blockbuster drug, Dr. Ignarro is sometimes
known as “the Father of Viagra”.
For nearly 30 years, Dr. Ignarro’s research has
focused on the role of Nitric Oxide in the cardiovascular system. Among
the most significant contributions from Dr. Ignarro’s wealth of
research is the discovery that Nitric Oxide is produced in the blood
vessels and controls the flow of blood by signaling the vessels to
expand and contract.
