Appel AC=?iso-8859-1?Q?=C9A/Call?= for papers CAAS

CALL FOR PAPERS
(version in French follows below)
Canadian Association of African Studies/
Association canadienne des études africaines

Africa in transformation: Africa of individuals, Africa of generations

Laval University
Quebec, Canada
2-4 May 2012

The Canadian Association of African Studies (CAAS) extends a special
invitation to all scholars and professionals working on all aspects of
African Studies for its next annual conference to be held on May 2-4,
2012, at Université Laval in Québec City, Canada. The meeting will be
hosted by the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Social Sciences with
support from Laval University, the two Faculties, the Groupe
Interuniversitaire d'Études et de Recherches sur les Sociétés Africaines
(GIERSA), the Observatoire Démographique et Statistique de l'Espace
Francophone (ODSEF), and the Chaire de recherche du Canada en littératures
africaines et Francophonie. Our aim is to attract an international group
of specialists at all stages in their careers for discussion and dialogue
in both of Canada's official languages, across disciplines, and between
scholars and professionals based in both the North and South.

In recent times African societies have experienced tremendous changes,
whether the dimension be social, economic, demographic, political,
media-related, cultural, or religious. This conference aims to explore, in
both French and English, the many facets of these mutations at the level
of individuals as well as at the level of social groups such as
generations, and in the varied contexts of self-affirmation, the
restructuring or erosion of political arrangements, economic crisis,
social tension, affirmation of religious identities, and cultural
pluralism. In the tradition of CAAS, the conference hopes to inspire
interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary inquiry as well as perspectives
over the longue durée.

To be sure, the conference will welcome papers on all topics, but three
major themes may serve to guide reflection about the dramatic changes in
Africa raised in the preceding paragraph:
Theme 1: Observation of the relationships between younger and older
people, men and women, social classes, and generations in order to analyze
the origins of tensions, negotiations as well as the often complex
strategies that lead to cooperation. This theme privileges consideration
of the internal dynamics of African societies and encourages the
reexamination of other classic themes—the power of gerontocracy, the role
of youth as either dependents of their elders or fomenters of violence, or
the situation of women as prisoners of social inferiority.
Theme 2: Analysis of how African societies, as illustrated through the
lives of famous people as well as the not-so-famous and family dynamics
both within and between generations, arrived at ways of responding to or
even resisting the numerous challenges posed by slave trades, diverse
imperialisms, decolonizations, political autocracies, democratic
transitions and their diverse evolutions, and changes in the face of
globalization;
Theme 3: Review considerations of the different forms of participation in
social and public life, and the variety of forms of civic mobilization—of
individuals, social groups, and generations in times of severe political
and socioeconomic crisis. Such an approach encourages reflection about the
varied ways that people and groups position themselves regarding
individualization or community or the two taken together. It also promotes
analysis of the emergence of various forms of socialization and
sociability which may give rise to solidarity. Finally, it allows study of
how these forms of participation are expressed—in the mass media, popular
culture, and arts and literature.

The Canadian Association of African Studies and its journal, the Canadian
Journal of African Studies have long served as important platforms for
scholarship on Africa. As such, and in addition to the more focused themes
elaborated above, the conference welcomes papers on a broad range of
topics and themes related to the continent, both disciplinary and
interdisciplinary. Hence the meeting will be an occasion to share, in both
French and English, research on topics such as the state in Africa, civil
society, migrations, the slave trades, Africa in the international arena,
conflicts within the continent, linguistic practice, religious dynamics,
and so on. In keeping with the bilingual nature of CAAS, paper and panel
proposals in French are particularly welcomed.

The deadline for submitting paper proposals and panel proposals is January
10, 2012. Proposals for individual papers should be 150-200 words, while
panel proposals should be 200-250 words. For information on submitting
paper and panel abstracts, conference registration payment (on-line or by
cheque), requests for funding for graduate students in Canada, as well as
information regarding accommodations please send an e-mail to
caasacea@carleton.ca and go to CAAS site which will be updated regularly:
http://ocs.sfu.ca/caas/index.php/caas/conf2012

The organizing committee, the Executive Committee of the association, and
all of its members look forward to welcoming you at Laval University in
Quebec City in May 2012.

APPEL À COMMUNICATIONS

L'Afrique en mutations :
l'Afrique des individus, l'Afrique des générations

Association canadienne des études africaines/
Canadian Association of African Studies

Université Laval
Québec, Canada
Du 2 au 4 mai 2012

L'Association canadienne des études africaines (ACÉA) lance une invitation
toute spéciale aux chercheurs et professionnels travaillant sur les
différents aspects des études africaines pour sa prochaine conférence
annuelle. Celle-ci se tiendra du 2 au 4 mai 2012, à l'Université Laval,
Québec, Canada et sera accueillie par la Faculté des Lettres et la Faculté
des Sciences sociales avec le soutien notamment de l'Université Laval, de
ces deux Facultés, du Groupe Interuniversitaire d'Études et de Recherches
sur les sociétés africaines (GIERSA), de l'Observatoire démographique et
statistique de l'espace francophone (ODSEF) et de la Chaire de recherche
du Canada en littératures africaines et Francophonie. Notre but est de
faire aussi se rencontrer les chercheurs et les étudiants du Sud comme du
Nord, afin de favoriser, par delà les frontières disciplinaires les débats
dans les deux langues officielles du Canada.

En Afrique, les sociétés ont connu jusqu'à aujourd'hui des mutations
majeures, tant aux plans social, économique, démographique, politique,
médiatique, culturel que religieux. À cette conférence, seront explorées,
en français et en anglais, les multiples facettes de ces mutations en
confrontant des réalités sociales tant à l'échelle de l'individu, des
groupes sociaux que des générations et ce, à travers des contextes
d'affirmation, de restructuration ou d'érosion du Politique, de crises
économiques, de tensions sociales, d'affirmation du religieux ou de
foisonnement culturel. La conférence s'inscrit résolument dans une
perspective pluridisciplinaire voire interdisciplinaire et sur la longue
durée.

Trois axes principaux, mais non exclusifs, pourront guider les réflexions :
Axe 1 : observer les rapports entres jeunes et aînés, entre femmes et
hommes, entre classes sociales et entre générations afin d'analyser la
mise en œuvre de tensions, de négociations voire des stratégies complexes
de coopération. Ceci permettra notamment de rendre compte des dynamiques
internes des sociétés africaines, de revisiter les schémas classiques de
la gérontocratie, de l'image d'une jeunesse sacrifiée ou violente, de
l'image de la femme enfermée dans des situations d'infériorité sociale;
Axe 2 : analyser comment les sociétés africaines, à travers des
itinéraires individuels de personnes illustres ou non, des dynamiques
familiales, intra et intergénérationnelles, ont su répondre, résister
voire s'adapter aux défis de la traite, des impérialismes, des
décolonisations, des autoritarismes politiques, des transitions
démocratiques et de ses évolutions contrastées et de la mondialisation ;
Axe 3 : rendre compte des différentes formes de participation à la vie
sociale et publique, de mobilisation citoyenne des individus, des groupes
sociaux et des générations dans des moments de crises politiques et
socioéconomiques aigües. Ceci permettra, d'une part, de réfléchir sur des
postures en lien avec l'individualisation, celles en lien avec la
communauté et celles à la jonction des deux d'autre part, d'analyser les
formes de socialisation, de sociabilité voire de solidarité qui peuvent en
émerger et enfin, d'étudier les différentes façons dont ces participations
s'expriment à travers les médias de masse, la culture populaire, les arts
et la littérature.

L'ACÉA et sa revue Revue canadienne des études africaines ont depuis
toujours constitué des plateformes importantes pour les travaux sur le
continent africain. Dans l'objectif de regrouper toutes les recherches sur
les questions africaines, cette conférence accueillera ainsi des
communications sur un large éventail de sujets, avec des approches
disciplinaires ou interdisciplinaires. C'est ainsi que la conférence sera
l'occasion de partager, en français et en anglais, des recherches sur
divers sujets tels que sur l'État en Afrique, la société civile, les
migrations, les traites, l'Afrique dans les relations internationales, les
conflits en Afrique, les dynamiques religieuses, les pratiques langagières
etc. Reflétant la nature bilingue de l'ACÉA, les propositions de
communications et d'ateliers en français sont particulièrement les
bienvenues.

La date limite d'envoi des résumés des communications (150-200 mots) et
des panels (200-250 mots) est le 10 janvier 2012. Pour les informations
relatives à l'envoi des résumés, à l'organisation des panels, à
l'inscription (en ligne ou par chèque), aux demandes d'aide financière
pour les étudiants inscrits dans une université canadienne et à
l'hébergement, envoyez un courriel à caasacea@carleton.ca et consultez le
site http://ocs.sfu.ca/caas/index.php/caas/conf2012 qui sera régulièrement
mis à jour.

Le comité d'organisation, le comité exécutif de l'association et tous ses
membres se font d'ores et déjà une joie de vous recevoir à l'Université
Laval, à Québec, en mai 2012.

Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research

Canada's research granting agencies—Canadian Institutes of Health
Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
Canada (NSERC), and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of
Canada (SSHRC)—are committed to fostering and maintaining an
environment that supports and promotes the responsible conduct of
research. On December 5, 2011, the Agencies officially launched the
new Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research. This new
Framework sets out the responsibilities and corresponding policies for
researchers, institutions, and the Agencies that together help support
and promote a positive research environment.


Implementing a Schedule for the Retention of Information on ResearchNet


Please be advised that a schedule for the retention of ResearchNet
data will be implemented as follows, effective December 10th, 2011:
•All submitted application activities and documents will be retained
for one year after the application decision has been released.
•All withdrawn applications will be retained for one year after
decisions for the competition have been posted.
•All incomplete and non-submitted applications will be retained for
three months after the competition deadline date.
•All review activities and documents will be retained for eighteen
months after the decisions for the application have been posted.
•All decision and post-decisions activities and documents will be
retained for eighteen months after the related application decisions.

Information on the Retention Schedule will be permanently available on
the ResearchNet homepage. Should users of ResearchNet wish to keep any
documents for future reference, we suggest that they download the PDF
(Portable Document Format) of the documents to another storage area
(e.g., the hard drive of a personal computer).


ICES Applied Health Research Questions


The Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) is inviting all
Ontario organizations that are users of research evidence (Knowledge
Users) to submit Applied Health Research Questions (AHRQs). An AHRQ is
a question posed by a health system Knowledge User in order to request
research evidence that can be applied to, improve or benefit the
Ontario health system. Institutes, centres and projects funded by the
Planning, Research and Analysis Branch of the Ministry of Health and
Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) provide responses to AHRQs to inform planning,
policy and program development, which in turn helps strengthen the
Ontario health system.

Three types of AHRQs may be requested:
1. Rapid response – Preliminary information will be delivered in one
week or less providing a "first blush" response.
2. Research report or technical brief – Approximately 4-8 weeks of
work will be required to synthesize the existing research evidence on
a given topic.
3. Research project – Where it has been confirmed that new knowledge
must be generated, i.e., existing knowledge is not sufficient for
planning or policy development requirements; a new research project
will be initiated. The duration may be months, or years, depending on
the project.

Please submit any comments, inquiries and your completed Knowledge
User AHRQ Request Form to: Dorina Simeonov

ICES will be accepting Knowledge User AHRQ Request Forms (pp. 2-3 in
MOHLTC AHRQ Templates attached) for Research Reports, Technical Briefs
and Research Projects semi-annually, with the first deadline extension
coming up on January 13, 2012. Rapid response requests can be
submitted at any time and another call for research projects will be
sent out in April, 2012, with a deadline of April 13, 2012.


Reporting Guidelines for Equity-relevant Systematic Reviews - Complete
Our Survey


The Campbell and Cochrane Equity Methods Group invites you to complete
a survey on the need for reporting guidelines for equity-relevant
systematic reviews. We have identified a significant gap in reporting
effectiveness of interventions for poor and vulnerable populations in
systematic reviews. One way to improve reporting of facets of specific
importance to systematic reviews reporting on inequities is to develop
specific reporting guidelines, for example, by extending or amplifying
the PRISMA statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews
and Meta-Analyses). Currently PRISMA has no guidance specific to
health equity and we are now in the process of developing an equity
extension to PRISMA. We invite you to complete our survey on this
extension – open for responses until January 5th, 2012. For more
information visit our website or blogs: Speaking of Medicine
(PLoSMed), and BMJ.

systématiques


L'équité Campbell et Cochrane méthodes de groupe vous invite à
remplir un sondage sur la nécessité de rendre les lignes directrices
pour l'équité pertinentes analyses systématiques. Nous avons identifié
une lacune importante dans les rapports efficacité des interventions
pour les populations pauvres et vulnérables dans les examens
systématiques. Une façon d'améliorer la déclaration des facettes d'une
importance particulière à l'examen systématique des rapports sur les
inégalités est de développer des lignes directrices précises de
déclaration, par exemple, en étendant ou amplifiant la déclaration
PRISMA (Articles rapports préférés pour les revues systématiques et
les méta-analyses). Actuellement PRISMA a pas de directives
spécifiques pour l'équité en santé et nous sommes maintenant dans le
processus d'élaboration d'une extension d'équité à Prisma. Nous vous
invitons à remplir notre sondage sur cette extension - ouvert jusqu'en
Janvier réponses 5th, 2012. Pour plus d'informations visitez notre

Tier 2 CRC in human rights and social justice

Canada Research Chair in Human Rights and Social Justice
Assistant or Associate Professor, Faculty of Arts

Located in the thriving, multicultural city of Winnipeg, the
University of Manitoba offers students and faculty a vibrant learning
community, exceptional facilities and the chance to explore ideas,
challenge assumptions and turn theory into reality. Our researchers
are among the best in the world, finding new ways to protect the
environment, improve human health, advance technology and strengthen
communities in Canada and beyond. With more than 30,000 students,
faculty, and staff, and over 90 degree programs, the University of
Manitoba plays a key role in the social, cultural, and economic
well-being of our community and our world.

The University of Manitoba is accepting applications and nominations
for Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) established by the Government of
Canada to enable Canadian universities to foster research excellence
(www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca). The University is committed in its
Strategic Plan to enhance academic initiatives in the area of human
rights
(http://www.umanitoba.ca/admin/president/strategic_plan/index.html).
Accordingly, the University has established a Centre for Human Rights
Research to enhance interdisciplinary and collaborative research
capacities, to provide enhanced training opportunities for students,
and to promote advancements in public policy and intellectual debate
on issues of human rights, law, and social justice. Position Number:
10974
A central feature of the mission of the Faculty of Arts is to conduct
research in the humanities and social sciences in order for both to
advance and preserve knowledge in these areas and to provide the
highly trained personnel that are required in an increasingly
specialized society. It is home to 18 social sciences and humanities
departments and units, as well as ten Interdisciplinary programs.
Further information concerning the Department, the Faculty, and the
University may be obtained from http://www.umanitoba.ca/arts. The
Faculty welcomes applications from all researchers engaged in human
rights or social justice research in either the humanities or social
sciences. Applicants whose research intersects multiple disciplines
are particularly welcome.
The University of Manitoba is the province's largest, most
comprehensive post-secondary educational institution. More than 28,000
students from all over the world currently study in a wide range of
programs in the liberal arts and sciences, the creative arts, and the
professions. Research is a priority at the University of Manitoba and
the success of its faculty in securing substantial research support in
national/international competitions attests to this fact.
Winnipeg is a mature city of some 700,000 people that combines the
amenities of urban life with easy access to the countryside and to
northern lakes and forests. A short trip outside of Winnipeg reveals
the geographic diversity of Manitoba, with ample opportunities for
many leisure activities (www.tourismwinnipeg.com). The city offers a
vibrant arts community, affordable housing by North American
standards, diverse cultural institutions, festivals, and entertainment
possibilities. Winnipeg is also home to the Canadian Museum of Human
Rights.
This posting advertises a Tier 2 CRC Chair position in Human Rights
and Social Justice to be held in the Faculty of Arts. This posting is
open to all disciplines in Arts, and the home unit will be one of
those currently based in the Faculty of Arts. The successful candidate
should have a record of substantial publication in an outstanding and
innovative research program in human rights and/or social justice, and
the ability to attract excellent graduate students. Applications
including significant applied research contributions to human rights
and social justice are expressly welcomed. Tier 2 CRCs are
"exceptional emerging researchers" who at an early phase of their
careers (i.e., within 10 years of completing their PhD) have
demonstrated the promise of a strong research profile and the
potential to be leaders in their field. The candidate selected for
this position will be required to work with the proposed home
department or unit and the Faculty to prepare the formal nomination to
the CRC Secretariat according to CRC program guidelines.
The appointment, contingent upon the successful CRC nomination,
commencing July 1, 2013, will be a full-time probationary position at
the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. Rank and salary will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience. Tier 2 CRC positions
are for five-year terms, and are renewable once. For the duration of
the CRC, the successful candidate will be granted reduced teaching
responsibilities.
The University of Manitoba is strongly committed to diversity within
its community and especially welcomes applications from visible
minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with
disabilities, persons of all sexual orientations and genders, and
others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas. All
qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and
permanent residents will be given priority.
Applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a research
proposal (maximum 1500 words) appropriate to the goals and objectives
of the CRC program, and a brief statement of teaching
philosophy/interests (electronic preferred) to Janice Gripp,
Confidential Assistant to the Dean (email: jgripp@cc.umanitoba.ca).
Candidates must also arrange to have three letters of reference
addressed to the Dean, and sent electronically directly to the above
email or by mail to: Dr. Jeffery Taylor, Dean, c/o Janice Gripp,
Confidential Assistant to the Dean, Faculty of Arts, 310 Fletcher

Nominations or applications, including letters of reference, will be
handled in accordance with the "Freedom of Information and Protection
of Privacy Act" (Manitoba). Please note that curriculum vitas may be
provided to participating members of the search process.
Review of applications will begin on March 2, 2012 and will continue
