Organizational Description: The mission of the Reproductive Health
Technologies Project is to advance the ability of every woman to achieve
full reproductive freedom with access to the safest, most effective and
preferred methods for controlling her fertility and protecting her
reproductive health.
RHTP is an advocacy organization; we do not provide direct services. Our
unique role in the reproductive health, rights and justice communities
is improving the political climate so that more and better options are
available to women for preventing or ending an unwanted pregnancy,
disease, and also for becoming pregnant and protecting fertility. We
convene multi-disciplinary discussions that look at the science, ethics,
politics and practice of any given technology; build consensus for
action among professional medical groups, advocacy organizations,
academics, and drug companies; and implement strategic communications
and advocacy campaigns in support of our goals.
For example, RHTP was at the forefront of a broad based coalition of
organizations and individuals seeking to bring Plan B emergency
contraception over-the-counter; an effort that culminated in partial
victory in August 2006 when the FDA approved sales of Plan B without a
prescription to consumers 18 and older. RHTP continues to push for women
of all ages to get access to over-the-counter emergency contraception
products.
Duties:

and policy materials.
Provide research and writing assistance on project initiatives for
emerging or ongoing reproductive technologies or issue areas.
Manage RHTP’s Twitter and Facebook accounts.

tracking donor activity, and updating donor files.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree plus experience working in an office environment.
Commitment to reproductive health and rights issues as demonstrated
through internships, volunteer positions or extracurricular activities.
Tech savvy. This includes expertise with social media tools like
Twitter and Facebook and proficiency with Microsoft office programs such
as Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Strong oral communication skills and significant research, writing,
and editing experience.
Attention to detail, highly organized, reliable and proven ability
to work on multiple projects with competing deadlines.
A self-starter with strong interpersonal and problem solving skills.
RHTP aims to benefit from diversity in all facets of our work and create
an inclusive work environment.

issues related to hydraulic fracturing, and methods students will use
in the field. During this first period students will develop a project
that fits their particular interests and the aims of the field school.
In the second part of the field school students, working in groups or
independently (under the guidance of the professors), will gather data
related to their project's focus. Finally, in the third section of the
field school, students will collaborate on an analysis and
presentation of their work.
The field school will be taught by three IUP professors: Dr. Amanda
Poole (Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology) who has
expertise in environmental anthropology, political ecology and
community-based resource management; Dr. James Dougherty (Assistant
Professor in the Department of Sociology) who focuses on Appalachian
Studies, Working Class Studies, globalization and social change; and

Flag Fen Field School
Important new archaeological field school opportunity In the United Kingdom
For the first time in over ten years, there will be live excavation on the iconic Bronze Age site of Flag Fen, in Cambridgeshire. This internationally significant monument is acknowledged as one of the most important Bronze Age sites in the world, and is comprised of over 60,000 waterlogged timbers as well as thousands of artefacts. Archaeology on the site dates back to the Neolithic, with only 1.5% of the total area having been excavated thus far.
The opportunity to learn from this field school extends past the sensitive and threatened archaeology. In addition to the field evaluation, we will be examining the public archaeology aspect of the project, including a completely digital platform from which we plan to broadcast over the internet on a daily basis. These results will be subject to academic evaluation and will be presented at the European Association of Archaeologists conference in Helsinki, Finland, in September 2012.
As part of the field school, we are offering a unique lecture programme, and have engaged some of the UK’s top archaeologists to speak, as well as join us in the trenches:
Dr Francis Pryor, author and excavator of Flag Fen
Professor Emeritus Martin Carver, Editor, Antiquity
Professor Timothy Darvill, Bournemouth University
Dr Will Fletcher, English Heritage inspector of ancient monuments for Norfolk
Professor Vincent Gaffney, Chair in Landscape Archaeology and Geomatics, University of Birmingham
Dr Benjamin Roberts, Curator, European Bronze Age, the British Museum
Dr John Gater, Geophysicist, GSB Prospection and Time Team
Gerard Twomey and Graeme Young, Bamburgh Research Project
Julian Richards FSA, author and broadcaster
Mark Knight, Senior Project Officer, Cambridge Archaeological Unit
Clive Waddington, Managing Director, Archaeological Research Services Ltd
We would like to make this project truly international, and would welcome participation from your students. Spaces on the field school range from one day to three weeks; we have a limited number available, and will be accepting applications on a first-come, first-served basis. Our acceptance window closes on April 30, 2012.
Please visit our website, www.digventures.com, for more information about the project. The tabs ‘Flag Fen Lives’ and ‘FAQs’ address the specifics of the field school. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any further questions.

Volunteer Opportunity in Peru (Lake Titicaca Basin Region)
students looking for summer fieldwork opportunities I highly recommend this volunteer program run by Professor Ralph Bolton (http://www.pomona.edu/news/2010/11/09-bolton-award.aspx) through the Chijnaya Foundation (http://www.chijnayafoundation.org/) in the Lake Titicaca Basin region. The town of Chijnaya is right next to Pucará and Ralph and I have collaborated extensively over the last few years. I have met his volunteers in the field (usually coming to buy stuff in the "big city" of Pucará!) and feel confident that this program would be a positive (and challenging) experience for students interested in Latin America, rural development, applied anthropology, tourism studies, and a number of other topics. One of his students produced an excellent 10-minute film on tourism in Pucará as a research project, so there definitely are opportunities to explore side projects for motivated volunteers.

The Learning Sciences and Policy (LSAP) doctoral program at the University of Pittsburgh prepares graduates to lead the design and study of educational policies and organizations. We are currently recruiting applicants for our 2012 cohort. Interested students should know that admitted applicants are fully funded for 3 years in our program, including full tuition coverage and a monthly stipend.
Students in with a sociology or anthropology interest may connect with the work of many learning sciences and policy faculty:
Study of how to improve highly disadvantaged students and neighborhoods
Understanding education ’s role in social reproduction
Demography and the distribution of students and teachers to schools
Differences in learning opportunities provided in different contexts (e.g., between schools in formal settings; and between informal and formal learning settings)
Our program is timely and unique. Now more than ever student learning is at the heart of local, state and national education policy debates. The Learning Sciences and Policy program is a bridge to professional opportunities influencing policies and practices that ultimately impact schools and children’s lives. Graduates are well positioned for careers as university faculty members and researchers at policy research centers, as well as for careers in state and local government, national foundations, and school improvement organizations.
