Twenty-four University of Iowa students have been named winners in an anthropology essay-writing competition. The students participated through Professor Junjie Chen’s “Anthropology and Contemporary World Problems” course, offered through the Department of Anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences.
The competition, which involved over 4,000 students from 30 schools, was sponsored by the Center for a Public Anthropology, a website dedicated to fostering social accountability for scholars and students within the anthropology discipline.
To enter the competition, students wrote op-ed pieces on how Institutional Review Boards should enforce common rules and regulations of anthropological research. The Public Anthropology Award winners (named below) and their essays are published on the competition’s website.
