La beca en memoria de Steven Lee Rubenstein honra el legado intelectual de Steven Lee Rubenstein (1962-2012), cuyos estudios sobre la sociedad sudamericana de las tierras bajas integran la economía política y la teoría crítica, el psicoanálisis y la teoría feminista post-estructuralista. Para cada conferencia de SALSA desde 2016, se ha otorgado un estipendio de viaje a un estudiante de posgrado, doctorado reciente o miembro con empleo precario que desee presentar su trabajo en las reuniones sesquianuales de SALSA. Este premio Las presentaciones se relacionan con el estudio de la antropología de las tierras bajas de América del Sur y fomentan la agenda de investigación de Rubenstein sobre sistemas contrastantes de poder, género, chamanismo, racismo y/o educación.
Definimos el término "estudiante de posgrado" como una persona que a) está matriculada actualmente en un programa de posgrado en antropología; b) ocupa actualmente un puesto de estudiante posdoctoral; o c) obtuvo su título más reciente en los nueve meses anteriores a la fecha de presentación y aún no ocupa un puesto docente. El candidato debe ser el primer o único autor de un trabajo que se presentará en las reuniones de SALSA y ser miembro de SALSA en regla. No se concederán becas de viaje a ninguna persona más de una vez.
Steven (Steve) Rubenstein falleció en marzo de 2012. Desde el momento de su muerte hasta abril y mayo, Daniela Peluso y Janet Chernela trabajaron con los padres de Steve, Francine y Ken, y su hermana, Laurie, para honrar el legado de Steve con conmemoraciones de varios tipos, incluyendo donaciones de ellos para continuar los estudios y la defensa de los nativos de las tierras bajas de América del Sur. En mayo de ese año, la familia propuso un Fondo Conmemorativo en honor de Steve en conjunto con el Proyecto del Norte de Perú de Amazon Watch a través del Servicio Mundial Judío Americano (ver la carta que la familia escribió para describir ese fondo).
A finales de mayo y principios de junio, Daniela y Janet trabajaron con la familia Rubenstein para diseñar un fondo SALSA en memoria de Steve que permitiera a jóvenes becarios asistir a sus reuniones. Los Rubenstein dieron inicialmente el visto bueno con un compromiso de 5.000 dólares e indicaron su deseo de que su hija, Laurie, formara parte de los comités de planificación y selección. En junio de 2012, Daniela y Janet propusieron el fondo a la presidenta de SALSA, Beth Conklin, y sugirieron un comité compuesto por miembros conocidos y de confianza de la familia Rubenstein. Los miembros del comité que sugerimos fueron Peter Gow, Joanna Overing, Michael Brown, Carlos Londono, George Mentore y Laurie Rubenstein. Nos ofrecimos como copresidentes. Beth aprobó la propuesta.
Sólo Joanna Overing no pudo participar. Tanto Francine como Ken han fallecido. Laurie Rubenstein sigue siendo una colaboradora activa e interesada. Dado que Laurie y Janet viven cerca la una de la otra, se reúnen con regularidad. En su última reunión, Laurie Rubenstein donó fondos adicionales.
