Information for Student Members:

The National Association for Ethnic Studies recognizes the value of its graduate and undergraduate student members, both as contributors to the organization and as the future of the discipline. We therefore encourage student involvement in several ways.

  • Discounted membership dues. Please see our online membership form for information
  • Discounted conference registration.
  • Student paper competitions for undergraduate and graduate students at each year’s conference.
  • Conference travel assistance. NAES is able to fund a number of modest travel grants to assist student presenters at the annual conference. The Ashton Welch travel award, funded by donations from the membership, was named in 2011 for our past Vice President who unexpectedly passed on in August 2010.
  • Opportunities for presentation and publication. Unlike some other academic organizations, we try to be informal and friendly while upholding high standards of scholarship. Graduate students are encouraged to submit proposals for our annual conference and to submit papers to our journal.
  • A seat on the Board of Directors reserved exclusively for a graduate student. For more information about running for either the graduate student seat (two-year term) or a regular Board seat (four-year term) please contact the current Nominations Committee chair.
