NEXUS Logo Competition

Announcing the NEXUS logo competition for McMaster Students of Anthropology!

We want to publish the cool paper you wrote for that class, we really do, but there’s a problem. The NEXUS journal is so 1980, and not in a good way. That’s where YOU come in! Design a new logo for the NEXUS Canadian Student Journal of Anthropology and WIN!

Nexus: The convergence or union of ideas, thoughts, instincts, or affects.

Nexus is a graduate student-run publication from the Department of Anthropology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Nexus attempts to present a cross section of current undergraduate and graduate student work from any area of anthropology, and to advance scholarship through anonymous peer review. We believe that each sub-field interacts and informs the others and actively encourage submissions from any area of the discipline of anthropology.

As part of the ongoing relaunch of the Nexus Canadian Student Journal of Anthropology, we want to shake things up a little. So tell us, what does intersection in anthropology mean to you?
