Help Tayla get to Queenstown

I have been selected to present a paper at the ASAANZ (Association of Social Anthropologists of Aotearoa New Zealand Incorporated) 2014 Conference in Queenstown this November.

As part of this, I will be presenting the short ethnographic film I made last year titled 'No Mas Nachos' as well as presenting a 20 minute paper titled 'Fat Bodies and Human Rights: Fat Activism and the fight Against Body Oppression'.The paper I am presenting is a chapter from my Master's Thesis which is due next March, so the feedback I would be able to receive on this paper is essential to my final thesis.

Due to limited funds provided by the University, I am struggling to pay for the fees associated with the conference (flights, accommodation and registration) as my fixed-term contract job has just ended. Any help to get me to Queenstown would be so appreciated, the people I am going to meet, the feedback I will get and the experience is going to be invaluable.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, any help would be so appreciated.

Tayla
