PAAA Conference AUGUST 2012 NAIROBI, KENYA - 1st Conference Announcement

INSTITUTE OF ANTHROPOLOGY, GENDER AND AFRICAN STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF
NAIROBI, in collaboration with the
PAN-AFRICAN ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (PAAA)

1st CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
THEME: AFRICA, ANTHROPOLOGY AND MDGs

AUGUST 2012, NAIROBI, KENYA
A decade ago, over 119 Heads of State and Government met in New York and
examined the state of the world. The meeting identified key goals, the
Millennium Development Goals, and set 2015 as the benchmark to reverse and
eliminate disparities. Ten years later, Africa has made little progress
towards achieving the targets. In fact, Africa has remained worse off than
it was in 2000. For example, maternal and child mortality has become worse
than it was in 1999. The Institute of Anthropology, Gender and African
Studies, University of Nairobi in collaboration with the Pan-African
Anthropological Association (PAAA) is organising a conference to
deliberate on these issues. The conference will bring together
Anthropologists and policy makers to explore the challenges Africa is
facing in making progress towards the set MDG targets. In particular,
emphasis will be laid on the Role of Anthropology in addressing or
alleviating the challenges.

Therefore, we invite papers from anthropologists and policy makers. This
conference will stimulate discussions on MDGs and the place of Africa in
the context of the MDGs. In keeping with the theme papers will address the
following themes:

 Maternal and Child Health: Socio-cultural dimensions of Maternal
and child health in Africa; Anthropology of fertility reduction and child
health; culture, family planning and population policies; changing
marriage patterns and maternal health, health and socio-economic
consequences of adolescent fertility.

 Gender Disparities and Women's Empowerment: The Gender ideology
in contemporary African setting; Gender-power relations in a dynamic
socio-political African environment, Female Genital Cutting; The politics
and economics of body image in Africa; Sexuality and sexual identity in
Africa.

 HIV, Malaria and Other Diseases: The cultural context of HIV in
Africa; The Socio-cultural context of malaria prevention; Health as social
context; Culture and health-seeking in Africa; Plural healthcare systems.

 Environmental Sustainability and Natural Resources Management:
The politics of natural resources and environmental management; Indigenous
knowledge and the management of natural resources; Participation of
indigenous peoples in the management of terrestrial and marine resources;
Anthropological perspectives on climate change and biodiversity loss in
Africa; Biodiversity and its importance to local communities.

 Poverty and Hunger: Causes of extreme poverty in Africa; The
socio-economic aspects of food production in Africa; Redefining the
culture of food production, distribution and consumption; Anthropological
perspectives of food security in Africa; Social welfare and poverty in
Africa.

The CIHR Governing Council commissioned a 10-year International Review of
CIHR, which addressed the following overarching questions:
Has CIHR been effective in fulfilling its mandate as outlined in the CIHR
Act?
How can CIHR improve at achieving its mandate?

The review was conducted by an International Review Panel chaired by Dr.
Elias Zerhouni in Ottawa.
Following the Panel's deliberations, Dr. Zerhouni has reported the
findings and recommendations to the CIHR Governing Council. The final
report was presented to the Governing Council in June 2011. Please visit
CIHR's website ( http://www.cihr.ca/e/43993.html ) to read the final
report.

Call for Cases for a New Publication: Population and Public Health Ethics
Casebook

The CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH), together with
its partners, are pleased to announce a call for case submissions in
Population and Public Health Ethics. For more information, please visit
the IPPH Website ( http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/44006.html ) for
additional details and submission guidelines.
Fostering the development and refinement of ethical frameworks for
population health interventions in Canada and globally is a strategic
objective for the IPPH. Population and public health ethics can be
distinguished from clinical ethics by the focus on:

Populations rather than individuals;
A wide range of population-level and/or environmental interventions often
implemented outside of the health care setting or the health sector; and
Equitable prevention of disease and disability.

The CIHR-IPPH, CIHR Ethics Office, Public Health Agency of Canada-Office
of Public Health Practice, National Collaborating Centre for Healthy
Public Policy, and Public Health Ontario have partnered to develop this
casebook of ethical dilemmas in population and public health and related
case analyses. The objectives of the casebook are to:

Increase awareness and understanding of PPH ethics, and the value of
ethical thinking in population and public health research, policy, and
practice;
Highlight cases from across population and public health research, policy,
and practice that feature different ethical issues and dilemmas, and;
Create a tool to support instruction, debate, and dialogue related to
cases in population and public health ethics research, policy, and
practice.

Structured case submissions of up to 850 words are due by Friday,
September 30, 2011. Cases should be realistic (either real or a composite
based on a real situation) and can either focus on:

A particular ethical dilemma that arises in practice;
The ethical considerations of a specific population health intervention; or
How a public health organization(s) or organization in other sectors
deliberates or takes ethics into account in their priority setting or
decision-making process.

Each selected case will be peer reviewed and subsequently analyzed
according to a common approach by an invited author who is not affiliated
with the case submission authorship team. Authors of selected cases will
be given an opportunity to provide an alternative analysis and these
responses will be included in the casebook, which will be published in
Spring 2012.

Release of the 2011 Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC) Financial
Administration Guide

The Tri-Agency Financial Administration Guide was recently updated.
Changes made to this year's guide supersede last year's guide and took
effect on September 15, 2011. Revisions have been made to i) reflect the
recently harmonized Tri-Agency policy on stipends paid from grants; and
ii) detail eligible expenses under CIHR's Release Time Allowance Policy.
For an overview of the changes, consult the Guide's Summary of Changes at:
http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Professors-Professeurs/FinancialAdminGuide-GuideAdminFinancier/TFAGChange-GAFTRevision_eng.asp
(

) .

Institute of Gender and Health (IGH) Invitation for Proposals:
Instructional Design Consultant, Gender and Health Resource

The Institute of Gender and Health (IGH) is currently producing a gender,
sex and health research casebook (What a Difference Sex and Gender Make),
slated for release in January 2012, as a tool to support the routine
integration of gender and sex considerations in health research. This
Invitation for Proposals is for an Instructional Design Consultant to
develop learning material accompaniments to the casebook.
The Consultant will develop two appropriately tailored products (or sets
of products, as relevant) to support the use of the casebook: 1) in
post-secondary classroom settings (by course instructors with students);
and 2) in a self-directed context (by trainees and researchers
independently reading the casebook outside of a structured learning
environment).

Please contact the IGH Knowledge Translation Manager Stephanie Coen via
email for more information.
The application is due September 30, 2011.

Announcement: Canada's Strategy for Patient Oriented Research (SPOR)

This document was developed under the leadership of the Canadian
Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Canada's premier health research
agency. The focus on patient-oriented research is at the core of CIHR's
2009/10 Health Research Roadmap which outlines CIHR's strategic directions
over the next five years. It sets out a vision and strategy to improve
health outcomes and enhance patient care through the levers of research.
The underlying premise of the document is that greater uptake of
research-based evidence will improve the health of Canadians while
improving the cost-effectiveness of the health care system.

CHIR Operating Grant: Advancing Theoretical and Methodological Innovations
(2011)
The CIHR Institutes of Aging (IA), Population and Public Health (IPPH),
and Health Services and Policy Research (IHSPR) have identified the need
to further strengthen the theories, conceptual frameworks, methods and
tools underpinning the conduct of interdisciplinary health research.
Guided by different disciplinary traditions, researchers use a range of
theories, frameworks, methods and tools to understand, observe and/or
measure phenomena. Innovations need to be informed by the best available
scientific methods emanating from a broad range of disciplines. Whether we
seek to better theorize how policy interventions adapt to context, or to
strengthen our approaches to analyzing and reporting data to inform health
decision-making, we need to further enhance research's contribution to
such efforts. The total amount available for this funding opportunity is
$3,200,000, enough to fund approximately 16 grants.
This amount may increase if additional funding partners participate. Visit

Examen international des IRSC de 2011

Les IRSC ont commandé un examen international après dix ans sous la
coordination de leur conseil d'administration. Cet examen portait sur les
questions globales qui suivent.

Les IRSC ont-ils réussi à remplir leur mandat tel qu'il est défini dans la
Loi sur les IRSC?

Comment les IRSC peuvent-ils mieux remplir leur mandat?

Cet examen a été dirigé par un comité d'examen international présidé par
le Dr Elias Zerhouni à Ottawa. Le rapport final a été rendu public quelque
temps après sa présentation au conseil d'administration en juin 2011.

Appel de cas pour une nouvelle publication : recueil de cas sur l'éthique
en santé publique et en santé des populations

L'Institut de la santé publique et des populations (ISPP), ainsi que ses
partenaires, sont heureux d'annoncer le lancement d'un appel de
présentations de cas sur l'éthique en santé publique et en santé des
populations. Visitez le site web de l'ISPP (
http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/f/44006.html ) pour vous renseigner sur la
façon de présenter une demande.
Favoriser la conception et le perfectionnement de cadres d'éthique pour
les interventions en santé des populations au Canada et ailleurs dans le
monde fait partie des objectifs stratégiques de l'Institut de la santé
publique et des populations (ISPP). L'éthique en santé publique et en
santé des populations (SPSP) se distingue de l'éthique clinique par
l'accent mis :

Sur les populations plutôt que sur les personnes,
Sur une vaste gamme d'interventions menées au niveau de la population
et/ou de l'environnement et souvent mises en oeuvre à l'extérieur du
milieu des soins ou du secteur de la santé,
Sur la prévention équitable des maladies et des incapacités.

L'ISPP des IRSC, le Bureau de l'éthique des IRSC, le Bureau de la pratique
de santé publique de l'Agence de la santé publique du Canada, le Centre de
collaboration nationale sur les politiques publiques et la santé, et Santé
publique Ontario travaillent en partenariat pour élaborer un recueil de
cas de dilemmes éthiques en SPSP, accompagné des analyses connexes.
Les objectifs particuliers du recueil de cas sont les suivants :

Mieux faire connaître et comprendre l'éthique en SPSP, ainsi que la valeur
de la pensée éthique dans la pratique, les politiques et la recherche sur
la SPSP
Mettre en évidence des cas dans la pratique, les politiques et la
recherche sur la SPSP, qui illustrent différents enjeux et dilemmes
éthiques
Créer un outil pour alimenter les instructions, le débat et le dialogue
relativement aux cas d'éthique dans la pratique, les politiques et la
recherche en SPSP

Les cas structurés (maximum de 850 mots) doivent être remis au plus tard
le vendredi 30 septembre 2011. Les cas doivent être réalistes (cas réels
ou cas composites fondés sur des situations réelles) et peuvent porter sur
ce qui suit :

Un dilemme éthique précis soulevé dans la pratique;
Les considérations éthiques d'une intervention particulière en santé des
populations;
Les façons avec lesquelles les organismes de santé publique et ceux
d'autres secteurs délibèrent ou tiennent compte de l'éthique dans leurs
processus d'établissement des priorités ou de prise de décision.

Tous les cas choisis seront évalués par les pairs puis analysés par un
auteur invité non affilié à l'équipe d'auteurs ayant présenté le cas, et
ce, en se fondant sur une approche commune. Les auteurs des cas choisis
auront l'occasion de proposer une autre analyse et ces réponses seront
également ajoutées au recueil de cas, lequel sera publié au printemps
2012.

Sortie du Guide d'administration financière des trois organismes (IRSC,
CRSNG et CRSH) de 2011

Le Guide d'administration financière des trois organismes a fait l'objet
d'une mise à jour le 15 septembre, 2011. La nouvelle version du Guide
l'emporte toujours sur la version précédente du Guide. Des révisions ont
été apportées pour : i) refléter la politique récemment harmonisée des
trois organismes sur les allocations payées à même les subventions; et ii)
les dépenses admissibles détaillées liées à la politique sur l'allocation
de détachement des ISRC.

Les 15es Journées annuelles de santé publique

Les 15es Journées annuelles de santé publique (JASP), c'est un
rendez-vous, du 28 novembre au 1er décembre 2011 à l'hôtel Fairmont le
Reine Elizabeth, à Montréal. Pour sa quinzième édition, l'événement
accueille une rencontre internationale sur la thématique des écoles
promotrices de santé les 28 et 29 novembre 2011. Tous les décideurs et
acteurs du Québec et d'ailleurs concernés par la réussite, la santé et le
bien-être des jeunes en contexte scolaire sont conviés à ce rendez-vous
fondamental et décisif. Dix journées thématiques et quatre ateliers
méthodologiques de grande qualité vous sont également offerts les 30
novembre et 1 décembre 2011.

L'inscription aux JASP se fera en ligne (
http://jasp.inspq.qc.ca/formulaire-dinscription.aspx ) , au début du mois
de septembre.

Annonce: Stratégie de recherche axée sur le patient du Canada

Ce document a été rédigé sous la direction des Instituts de recherche en
santé du Canada (IRSC), le principal organisme de recherche en santé au
Canada. La recherche axée sur le patient est la pierre angulaire du plan
stratégique 2009-2010 des IRSC (L'innovation au service de la santé), qui
expose les orientations stratégiques de l'organisme pour les cinq
prochaines années. Le présent document expose une vision et une stratégie
visant à obtenir de meilleurs résultats en santé et à offrir de meilleurs
soins aux patients grâce à la recherche. Il est fondé sur le principe
selon lequel une meilleure mise en pratique des résultats de la recherche
aura des effets positifs sur la santé des Canadiens et l'efficacité du
système de santé.

Possibilités de financement, subventions, et prix (organizé par date limite)

Les possibilités de financement de l'ISPP peuvent être retrouvées ici (
http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/srch.do?language=F ) en
sélectionnant l'Institut de la santé publique et des populations du menu
déroulant.

Subvention de fonctionnement : Promouvoir les innovations théoriques et
méthodologiques des IRSC (2011) L'Institut du vieillissement (IV),
l'Institut de la santé publique et des populations (ISPP) et l'Institut
des services et des politiques de la santé (ISPS) des IRSC ont convenu de
la nécessité de renforcer les théories, les cadres conceptuels, les
méthodes et les outils sur lesquels repose la recherche en santé
interdisciplinaire. Guidés par les traditions de leurs disciplines
respectives, les chercheurs se servent d'une variété de théories, de
cadres, de méthodes et d'outils pour comprendre, observer et/ou mesurer
des phénomènes. L'innovation doit être tributaire des meilleures méthodes
scientifiques issues d'une grande variété de disciplines. Nous devons
accroître la contribution de la recherche à ce chapitre, que ce soit pour
mieux expliquer en théorie comment les interventions s'adaptent au
contexte, ou encore pour renforcer nos approches d'analyse et de
communication des données éclairant la prise de décisions relatives aux
soins de santé. Le montant total disponible dans le cadre de cette
possibilité de financement est de 3 200 000 $, ce qui devrait permettre
d'accorder approximativement 16 bourses. Ce montant pourra augmenter si
d'autres partenaires financiers décident d'y participer.Pour de plus
amples renseignements, consultez RechercheNet (

Date limite d'inscription: le 30 septembre 2011

Subvention catalyseur : VIH/sida et santé des Autochtones des IRSC
Sous la direction de l'Institut des maladies infectieuses et immunitaires
(IMII) des IRSC, l'Initiative de recherche sur le VIH/sida des IRSC est
chargée de la gestion et de la surveillance du volet de recherche sur le
VIH/sida de l'Initiative fédérale de lutte contre le VIH/sida au Canada.
Cette possibilité de financement porte sur la santé des peuples
autochtones, l'une des huit populations cibles de l'initiative fédérale.
On s'attend à ce que cet investissement ciblé permette aux chercheurs
d'obtenir des données préliminaires, d'établir de nouveaux partenariats et
d'explorer de nouvelles idées de recherche, afin de favoriser la réussite
de demandes subséquentes dans le cadre des concours ouverts ou des
concours stratégiques des IRSC portant sur le VIH/sida et la santé des
Autochtones. Le montant total disponible dans le cadre de cette
possibilité de financement est de 600 000 $, ce qui devrait
permettre d'accorder quelque six subventions. Ce montant pourra augmenter
si d'autres partenaires financiers décident d'y participer. Pour de plus
amples renseignements, consultez RechercheNet (
http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?resultCount=25&sort=program&prog=1305&masterList=true&view=currentOpps&org=CIHR&type=AND&all=1&language=F
) .
Date limite de présentation des demandes: le 3 octobre, 2011.
Subvention d'équipe: European Research Area in Ageing (ERA-AGE 2)
Le European Research Area in Ageing (ERA-AGE 2) vient de lancer une
possibilité de financement invitant les équipes de recherche
multidisciplinaires à soumettre une demande sous le thème du «
Vieillissement actif et en santé à tous les stades de la vie ». Les
groupes de recherche multidisciplinaires représentant de 3 à 5 pays sont
invités à déposer une soumission préliminaire entre le 1er juin 2011 et le
3 octobre 2011, afin d'enquêter les questions de recherche spécifiques à
cet appel. Pour de plus amples renseignements, consultez RechercheNet (
http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?resultCount=25&sort=program&prog=1318&masterList=true&view=currentOpps&org=CIHR&type=AND&all=1&language=F

Date limite pour le lettre d'intention (LDI): le 3 octobre 2011
Subvention sur la synthèse des connaissances des IRSC
Le mandat des IRSC est d' « exceller, selon les normes internationales
reconnues de l'excellence scientifique, dans la création de nouvelles
connaissances et leur application en vue d'améliorer la santé de la
population canadienne, d'offrir de meilleurs produits et services de santé
et de renforcer le système de santé du Canada ». Le but de la présente
possibilité de financement est d'appuyer les équipes de chercheurs et
d'utilisateurs des connaissances à produire des synthèses de connaissances
et des examens qui contribuent à l'utilisation de données synthétisées
pour la prise de décisions et la pratique. Cette possibilité de
financement appuiera deux types de projets : les synthèses des
connaissances et les examens de la portée. Le montant total disponible
dans le cadre de cette possibilité de financement est de 400 000 $, ce qui
devrait permettre d'accorder quelques quatre à huit subventions. Ce
montant pourra augmenter si d'autres partenaires financiers décident de
participer. Pour de plus amples renseignements, consultez RechercheNet (
http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?resultCount=25&sort=program&prog=1303&masterList=true&view=currentOpps&org=CIHR&type=AND&all=1&language=F
) .
Date limite de présentation des demandes: le 3 octobre 2011

Bourses en journalisme des IRSC 2011-2012
Les bourses en journalisme des IRSC permettront de financer la réalisation
de reportages visant à informer les Canadiens sur les questions de
recherche en santé fondées sur des données probantes, la recherche étant
réalisée par les chercheurs en santé. La bourse ne doit pas servir à
financer la recherche liée à la santé réalisée par le candidat. Les
titulaires d'une bourse peuvent entreprendre des projets pour les médias
imprimés, les médias électroniques et les médias en ligne. Ces projets
comprendront normalement une période d'enquête et de recherche, qui
permettra de rassembler les renseignements nécessaires à la réalisation
d'un article de fond ou d'un article spécialisé, d'un reportage pour la
radio ou la télévision ou encore d'une série d'articles ou de reportages.
À cette fin, on prévoit que des voyages seront nécessaires pour rencontrer
les sources. Pour de plus amples renseignements, consultez
RechercheNet (
http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?resultCount=25&sort=program&prog=1285&masterList=true&view=currentOpps&org=CIHR&type=AND&all=1&language=F
) .
Date limite de présentation des demandes: le 5 octobre 2011

Systèmes de mise en œuvre des interventions en santé des populations
L'Institut de la santé publique et des populations des IRSC souhaite
financer des subventions de planification pour appuyer la recherche liée à
l'examen de systèmes de mise en oeuvre des interventions en santé des
populations. Selon notre définition, les interventions en santé des
populations sont des politiques, des programmes ou des approches de
distribution des ressources qui ciblent les déterminants de la santé et
exercent leur influence au niveau des organisations et d'autres systèmes
plutôt que par des approches cliniques ciblant individuellement les
patients et leurs familles. Les systèmes de mise en oeuvre sont
nécessaires à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du secteur de la santé pour
lancer, soutenir, maintenir et étendre des interventions en santé des
populations. Ces systèmes sont influencés par des facteurs comme les
structures de gouvernance interorganisationnelles, intergouvernementales
et
intersectorielles; le soutien des leaders; les processus d'établissement
des priorités et de répartition des ressources; et les capacités humaines,
juridiques et administratives. Le montant total disponible dans le cadre
de cette possibilité de financement est de 75 000 $. Ce montant pourra
augmenter si d'autres partenaires financiers décident de participer. Pour
de plus amples renseignements, consultez RechercheNet (
http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?progType=CIHR-28&view=browseActive&type=AND&prog=1297&resultCount=25&language=F
) .
Date limite de présentation des demandes: le 17 octobre 2011

Subvention catalyseur : VIH/sida (Recherche communautaire) des IRSC
Le Programme de recherche communautaire (RC) sur le VIH/sida des IRSC
permet d'aider les organismes communautaires, les organismes non
gouvernementaux et les établissements à développer les connaissances dont
ils ont besoin pour poursuivre leurs travaux le plus efficacement possible
et de créer l'expertise dans ces communautés pour qu'elles puissent
effectuer leurs propres recherches. Le but de ce programme de subventions
Catalyseur vise à offrir du financement de démarrage, à court terme, pour
appuyer des activités de recherche en santé qui représentent une première
étape en vue de profiter de possibilités de financement plus élaborées (p.
ex. subventions de fonctionnement). Le montant total disponible dans le
cadre de cette possibilité de financement est de 198 000 $, ce qui devrait
permettre d'accorder quelque six subventions. Ce montant pourra augmenter
si d'autres partenaires financiers décident de
participer. Pour de plus amples renseignements, consultez RechercheNet (
http://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/vwOpprtntyDtls.do?resultCount=25&sort=program&prog=1313&masterList=true&view=currentOpps&org=CIHR&type=AND&all=1&language=F
) .
Date limite de présentation des demandes: le 17 octobre 2011Programme
d'appui communautaire (PACI) de l'Institut de la santé publique et des
populations (ISPP) 2011-2012
Les instituts des IRSC recourent au PACI pour fournir des
subventions/bourses à des personnes et à des organisations appartenant à
leurs milieux respectifs, afin qu'elles s'en servent pour : fournir des
subventions ou des bourses pour des activités de recherche et
d'application des connaissances qui ne sont pas couvertes par les autres
programmes des IRSC ; et appuyer des organismes et des individus dont les
buts concordent avec la vision, le mandat et les orientations stratégiques
des IRSC et des leurs instituts. Pour de plus amples renseignements,
consultez le site-Web pour le PACI de l'ISPP. Veuillez noter que les

March 9-10, 2012

In the past few years, many countries and communities around the world
have experienced dramatic social, cultural, political and economic
shifts, transformations and upheavals. From uprisings in Greece, Egypt,
and Libya, to the growing economic power of Brazil, Russia, India,
China, and South Africa, to fundamental shifts in Canadian federal
politics, it is clear that we are now facing a new world order. The 8th
Annual Trent-Carleton Graduate Conference will examine these and other
related issues under the theme "Canada and the New World Order: The
National Contexts of Global Change." This interdisciplinary graduate
conference will take place on March 9-10, 2012 at Trent University in
Peterborough, Ontario, and will consider questions including, but not
limited to, the following:
· How have the Canadian dimensions of the ?New World Order? been
imagined and/or (mis)understood? Where are we now? How did we get here?
Where are we going?
· How have people enacted, challenged, and/or accommodated
political and/or economic shifts in Canada, and what social, cultural
and/or environmental effects have those shifts had in terms of policy,
practice or lived experiences?
· What role(s) has Canada played in shaping the state of global
politics and/or international relations? What role(s) will Canada play
in the future?
· What forms have social, cultural and political responses to
change taken in Canada, and how have people responded to those changes?
· How have the historical and/or ideological contexts of race,
class, gender, sexuality and/or ability been constructed, represented or
interrogated in the midst of global change?
· How have the politics of difference in Canada shaped and/or
been shaped by changing global contexts of (im)migration, diversity and
human rights?

Submissions should include a maximum 250 word abstract, and a 150 word
bio that clearly indicates institution, field of study and degree
programme, and should be sent via email by November 1, 2011 to Adam
Guzkowski, Program Chair, at tcgradconference2011@gmail.com, with the
subject line ?FirstName LastName Proposal? (if your name is Amy Smith,
your subject line would read ?Amy Smith Proposal?). Nous invitons et
encourageons les propositions de communication en français.

All proposals should have a distinctive Canadian focus, but we also
encourage submissions that consider Canada in a comparative context. The
Conference Committee looks forward to creative interpretations of the
conference theme and/or the questions above, and particularly welcomes
proposals from current graduate students, whatever their program or home
institution. Limited travel bursaries may be available for accepted
presenters traveling from out of province or from Northern Ontario.
Billeting for accepted presenters may also be available; please indicate
in your submission if you would like to receive information regarding
billeting.

1. Don't miss the new season of Big Thinking on Parliament Hill

Our Big Thinking lecture series is back on Parliament Hill for a new
season. Big Thinking brings lecturers on pressing social issues to
Parliament Hill, putting parliamentarians and Canadians in contact
with critical ideas in the humanities and social sciences.

The next Big Thinking lecture, "Food for Thought: Addressing the
global food crisis," will be held on September 28. Evan Fraser,
associate professor in the University of Guelph's geography
department and Canada Research Chair in Global Food Security, will
explore the past, present and future of the global food crisis. He
will discuss how we can approach the coming crisis, and how this
challenge requires a rethinking of the food trade, the nature of
scientific research and our own culture of food.

that--while part of our archives--are still relevant to current
events. In our April 2009 Breakfast on the Hill, Mark Kingwell,
professor at the University of Toronto, examined the relevance of
leadership. At what point does personal leadership really orient
political activity? Can a charismatic administrator alone elicit
change in the system or, does the system evolve by itself? You can

CFP Paper Session IUAES 2013 - Mobile Sentiments: Transformations of Affect amid Transnational Migration

CFP: Paper Session
IUAES 2013 (August 5-10, Manchester, UK)
Mobile Sentiments: Transformations of Affect amid Transnational Migration
Session Organizers:
Nicola Mooney (University of the Fraser Valley)
Glynis George (University of Windsor)
Many emotions connect humans to places, whether homes, landscapes, or
nations, and these are unsettled and transformed with transnational
migration. This panel proposes to explore the dimensions of 'mobile
sentiments' - what we see as the affective and emotional responses of
people to the places and experiences of migration - in several
ethnographic contexts. How are mobile sentiments constituted, transmitted
and circulated within migrant communities? How and why do people express
links to home and place in migrant contexts, and how do these differ from
those 'at home'? Through what processes do host nations become home
nations? How are emplacing sentiments in migration shaped by those at
home, as well as by the circumstances of movement? How do notions of time
and history, as well as place and space, influence the affects of
migration? What are the roles of memory, nostalgia, and the imaginary in
the construction of migrant attachments to place, landscape, nation, etc?
What are the affective dimensions of governing mobile subjects through
settlement, citizenship, multiculturalism, and other policy frameworks?
