Welcome to the Temporary Totem WebsiteThe deadline for Volume 19 paper submissions and editorial positions is January 31, 2011
Totem is a peer-reviewed, student-run journal of anthropology published annually in association with the Anthropology Society and the Department of Anthropology at The University of Western Ontario (U.W.O). Totem is currently on its 19th volume; the first volume was published in 1994. 2010-2011 will be the first year Totem publishes online through Weldon Library Services and the Scholarship@Western initiative. We hope to have the website running by December 2010. Totem’s mandate is to publish exceptional works of creative and original research by undergraduate and graduate students in any of the four sub-fields of anthropology including socio-cultural anthropology, archaeology, biological/physical anthropology, and linguistics. Totem is dedicated to providing a forum for undergraduates and graduate students in anthropology to present and discuss their work with their peers. Due to anthropology’s interdisciplinary nature, we invite students from other disciplines and institutions to submit papers of value or interest to anthropology and anthropologists. Our editorial board consists of two Anthropology Department graduate students that are elected to act as co-editors, representing the two major streams of Anthropology represented at Western- Bioarcheaology and Socio-cultural. This year’s co-editors are Julianna Beaudoin, a socio-cultural in the second year of her PhD program, and Flannery Surette, an archaeologist in the third year of her PhD program. Additionally, we have a large number of peer-reviewers from the undergraduate and graduate Anthropology Department that change every year. We work in conjunction with the undergraduate Anthropology Society at UWO, and have future plans to work with the newly formed Western Anthropology Graduate Society. This year, we are pleased to have Colby Olhausen as an undergraduate assistant and liaison for Totem who will help digitize past volumes.
