The Lemelson Undergraduate Honors Program provides motivated and dedicated students with (1) opportunities to engage in original research and analysis; (2) mentoring from individual faculty members; (3) interaction with other research-oriented undergraduates; (4) classroom training by UCLA Honors faculty; and (5) development of skills in the writing and oral presentation of anthropological topics.
The Robert Lemelson Foundation has generously agreed to provide $30,000 per year to the Society for Psychological Anthropology Lemelson Conference Fund to support conferences and workshops that contribute to important developments in the field for the next two years (2014 and 2015). These funds will be used to support conferences that engage innovative and significant topics, issues, and theoretical/methodological perspectives in any subfield of psychological anthropology as well as conferences that seek to bring psychological anthropology into generative dialogue with other related fields of inquiry.
