CFP: Queering Borders Panel @ 2012 AAA Meeting

Hello:

Please take a look at our panel proposal for the 2012 AAA Meetings below.
If you are interested in participating, please send me
(damurray@yorku.ca) your contact info and paper abstract (250 words) no
later than March 15 2012.

*Panel: Queering Borders: Sexuality, Migration and Citizenship*


Co-Organizers: David AB Murray (York U) and Nathalie Ricard (Universite
Laval)

How does sexuality impact border crossings across time, space, embodied
differences, language and culture? How might anthropological theories,
concepts and methods address the operations of sexuality in the making,
unmaking and remaking of these borders? While a growing literature on
'queer migration' recognizes the centrality of sexuality in the
movements, governance, regulation and agency of bodies crossing
trans/national borders and in the very structure of those borders, there
has been thus far relatively little research on these issues published
from an anthropological perspective.The papers in this panel apply this
perspective to a series of questions pertaining to borders and queer
migration: Do queer migrants redefine or reinscribe national frontiers?
How are local queer communities (re)defined by the movements and
arrivals of transnational queer immigrants, migrants and/or refugees? How
do cosmopolitanism and nationalism operate in queer migrants'
organizations and policies? To what extent does the internet contribute
to the impact these organizations have across borders?How are practices
and policies of citizenship affected by queer migration? How do queer
migrants and refugees negotiate questions of identity, belonging and
status as they move across borders?These papers question methodological
and theoretical paradigms andprovide interventions that provoke new
insights into the relationship between migration, borders, and sexual
citizenship.

Banff Science Communications Course

The CIHR-Institute of Population and Public Health (IPPH) is supporting
the Banff Science Communications Course (Aug. 11-25, 2012) to promote the
science of population and public health.

The course is an immersive two-week residency experience that is aimed at
mid-career professionals in both science and communications. The program
is structured around daily seminars and workshops on new forms of creative
science communications. Emphasis is on group discussion and work, and
participants will be urged to create outside their usual medium of
scientific communication. At the end of the program, participants publicly
present collaboratively created group projects using media such as the
web, television, print, and three-dimensional scenarios that have
developed under the influence of debates, visits, talks, and one-on-one
dialogues.

We would like to encourage you to apply and to let your colleagues know
about this exciting opportunity. Please note that funding up to $5000 is
available through the CIHR-IPPH Skills Update Awards.

TAC Conference on Cultural Heritage Film Reminder

To Scholars and Film Makers :

We would like to remind everyone of the February 29 deadline for abstract and
symposium submissions for The Archaeology Channel Conference on Cultural
Heritage
Film to be held May 9-11 in Eugene, Oregon, USA, in conjunction with our
Ninth
annual installment of The Archaeology Channel International film and Video
Festival
(May 8-12). The Conference will be held at the University of Oregon Baker
Downtown
Center. This is an international event, with films and film-makers coming
from
around the globe. Conference presenters will receive tickets to all film
screenings.


Currently, we have commitments from participants coming from as far away as
Ethiopia, Armenia, Iran, and Algeria as well as the US. We anticipate
participation
from the UK and possibly China as well. We encourage you to send your
abstracts and
join the group of contributors.


Papers on applications of film (academic, cultural, practical,
educational) will be
considered for conference presentation. There will also be an open
discussion of
Festival films. The goals of this conference are three-fold: (1) to
promote the
creation, distribution and use of cultural heritage film as an influence
for broad
cultural awareness and understanding; (2) to bring together educators,
film-makers,
archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, journalists, historic
preservationists,
environmentalists, geographers, and others interested in cultural heritage
and its
connections to the natural environment; and (3) to encourage the exchange
of new
ideas and approaches to employ film for the common good of all humanity.

The official call for papers is posted in our Festival area at
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/content/Conference12.html. TAC Festival
information may be found at
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/content/TACfestival.shtml, where hotel
information
is posted as well. We encourage you to participate (for no fee) even if
you don't
present a paper. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
I look
forward to hearing from you and seeing you at this year's event. Please
share this
information as widely as possible.

2012 ANNUAL SEMINAR FOR SEMINARY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES FACULTY
Understanding Complicity: The Churches' Role in Nazi Germany
JUNE 18–22, 2012
Applications due March 1, 2012

The Museum's Committee on Church Relations and the Holocaust (CRC) invites
applications for its annual faculty seminar. Applications from professors
from all
disciplines will be considered, but the seminar is designed particularly for
professors of theology, ethics, and religious studies at theological
schools and
other institutions of advanced education.
This seminar will explore the historical and theological dynamics of the
complicity
of churches in Nazi Germany. How widespread was complicity in the German
churches
during the Nazi era? What were the causes? What was the role of the
leadership of
the churches? There will be discussion of how the reactions of the German
churches
to Nazism paralleled or differed from those of churches outside Nazi
Germany; what
influence historical complicity had on postwar discussions in Germany
about guilt
and responsibility; and how this issue has been addressed in the general
historiography of the Holocaust.
The seminar will be taught by two authorities in the field: Robert Ericksen,
Professor of History and Kurt Mayer Chair of Holocaust Studies at Pacific
Lutheran
University, and Victoria Barnett, Staff Director, CRC.

Volunteer Position Announcement

Volunteer Position Announcement


Archaeological Legacy Institute is announcing two volunteer position
openings, both which can be filled off site, via email! Here is your
chance to get involved with the creative heart of a dynamic and
growing enterprise. Your help here will have a direct impact on ALI's
productivity and ability to pursue its public mission. The experience
you gain will be directly transferable to other positions you may seek
in the future.


Background: Archaeological Legacy Institute is a tax-exempt nonprofit
organization based in Eugene, Oregon. Our streaming-media Web site
and chief project, The Archaeology Channel(www.archaeologychannel.org;
TAC), launched 12 years ago, has become one of the world?s most
popular Web sites relating to archaeology and the human cultural
heritage, with annual traffic in the millions of page views. We now
are rebuilding TAC as an even more attractive, content-filled,
dynamic, and interactive platform for our programming, services and
information. A closely-related spinoff of TAC is The Archaeology
Channel International Film and Video Festival, produced each spring at
the Shedd Institute, in downtown Eugene, Oregon. In 2010, ALI
launched its first cable TV programming distributed over a growing
nationwide network of stations. Our most popular program is the Audio
News from Archaeologica, our weekly radio-style show summarizing the
top archaeology and cultural heritage research stories from around the
world and distributed on TAC and by podcast to a loyal audience in the
hundreds of thousands. ALI has numerous opportunities for unlimited
growth as an Internet media and public outreach organization and needs
to expand its volunteer work force in order to take advantage of these
opportunities. Some of our volunteers may become our employees,
depending upon their productivity and effectiveness.


Position 1: Script Editor

Hourly Commitment: Approximately two hours per week.

Job Purpose: To help our Audio News from Archaeologica team generate
professionally well written scripts. This work helps us get our
message and image out to the public and thereby effectively raise
public awareness of who we are, what we do and why they should care.

Description: Because of its long history, its accumulated experience
and vast worldwide network and its ambitious vision, ALI is destined
to become an influential participant in the world of media. In a
continuing effort to improve our programming, we need a dedicated
volunteer to supplement our existing Audio News editing staff to
spread the task load for this program that has been produced weekly
without a break for the past 11 years. You will be part of a team of
11 special people currently coordinating their efforts to make this
show.


Key Responsibilities: The Script Editor will receive draft scripts by
e-mail on Sunday evenings or Monday mornings to edit. The editing
chore often goes beyond simple copy editing, involving rewriting and
checking sources. The end product is a script that is delivered by
e-mail to ALI?s production office, where it is processed further
before being read and recorded.


Requirements: This job requires people who have strong interest and
demonstrated ability in writing and text editing. We are looking for
people who grasp the nuances of the English language and have close
attention to detail, not only in terms of words, but also in terms of
meaning and expression. The ideal person also will have some
background and knowledge relating to archaeology and history. We
expect some measure of on-the-job learning and training, but we want
to find people who can take us to the next level of competence and
productivity as we move further into the world of digital media
delivery.

Position 2: Listserve Coordinator


Hourly Commitment: Approximately 2-5 hours per week.


Job Purpose: To improve our ability to communicate with target
audiences. We frequently share information and make announcements via
listserves, so we need someone to take charge of this activity.


Description: Our Listserve Coordinator delivers our announcements and
information via multiple listserves to selected groups of recipients.


Key Responsibilities: The Listserve Coordiniator will expand our index
of listserve Web sites on archaeology, education, and related
subjects; serve as conduit for ALI information to listserves; and
monitor listserves for information useful to ALI.


Requirements: This job requires people with computer and
communication skills as well as familiarity and experience with the
World Wide Web. Ideal attributes include familiarity with listserves
and a background in archaeology and anthropology. We expect some
measure of on-the-job learning and training, but we want to find
people who can take us to the next level of competence and
productivity as we move still more actively into the world of public
outreach.


TO APPLY: Contact Dr. Richard Pettigrew by telephone (541-345-5538) or
e-mail (rick@archaeologychannel.org). A resume is required.

CASCA 2012
The Unexpected

As a departure from more paradigmatic conferences, CASCA 2012, to be
held at the University of Alberta in Edmonton on May 9-12, will
explore The Unexpected. The papers and events in and around this
conference will explore how anthropologists think about and respond to
unanticipated, unpredicted, and surprising aspects of their research.
CASCA 2012 presents a moment in which anthropologists, from the most
senior to the most inexperienced and from every sub-discipline, can
reflect on and share those aspects of their research typically
reserved for more informal venues. We are delighted to host Prof.
Richard Jenkins from University of Sheffield whose keynote address,
"Tales of the unexpected: doing fieldwork and doing everyday life,"
promises to confront directly the often precarious and contradictory
aspects of anthropological research.

In order to encourage participants to explore topics in unexpected
ways, the structure of this conference will differ from those held
previously. To begin, the organizers of CASCA 2012 are proposing
several thematic panels to which scholars may submit individual
abstracts. These thematic panels will be built around a format of
short (5-8 minute) presentations based on papers to be circulated
prior to the conference with the goal of sparking a wider discussion
among those presenting and those attending the sessions. The
Conference organized thematic panels will include the following:

• Ethics and the unexpected
• Experiencing the unexpected
• Planning for the unexpected
• Practicing the unexpected
• The unexpected in the global imaginary
• Unexpected connections in and through bio-archaeology
• Uh, oh!

In addition to the aforementioned thematic panels, other forms of
participation will include papers, PechaKucha, and poster sessions.
Individually submitted abstracts are preferred; conference organizers
will assemble panels from individual paper abstracts (maximum 120
words) with the goal of building new and unexpected convergences
between participants and topics. Participant organized panels are not
excluded, but those panels may see some reorganization to better fit
the theme and spirit of the conference. Along with sessions that
follow a traditional 15-minute paper presentation format, we offer
participants the opportunity to present as a part of PechaKucha
panels, in which each presentation is allowed 20 slides with a
20-second limit for each slide, or in poster sessions. All formats
will allow for lively and engaging presentations that should engender
thought-provoking interactions between presenters and audience members.

As a possible starting place for imagining contributions to The
Unexpected, we offer the following suggestions, hoping that they will
provoke some new and unexpected topics to be explored with others at
CASCA 2012.

Anthropology of the unexpected, of crises, disasters and tranquility
Unexpected anthropology (e.g., science fiction, ethnographic fiction, etc.)
Unexpected anthropology in classrooms and other learning environments
Unexpected connections and collaborations between people, ideas, and
disciplines
Unexpected consequences of anthropology
Unexpected dangers and taboos of anthropology
Unexpected humor and unexpected joy in anthropology
Unexpected research or results

Abstracts will be accepted through February 25th. For detailed
information on registration and abstract submission, visit the CASCA
website at www.cas-sca.ca.

CASCA 2012
L'Inattendu

Pour s'éloigner du style formel des conférences annuelles, le thème de
CASCA 2012 qui se tiendra à l'Université de l'Alberta à Edmonton du 9
au 12 mai sera L'Inattendu. Le thème qui sera exploré aux cours de
cette conférence est comment les anthropologues pensent et réagissent
à l'inattendu, l'imprévu et les aspects surprenants de leur recherche.
CASCA 2012 présente une opportunité pour les anthropologues, du plus
aguerri au moins expérimenté et de toutes les sous-disciplines, de
réfléchir et partager ces aspects de leur recherche généralement
réservée à des occasions moins formelles. Nous avons le plaisir
d'accueillir le Professeur Richard Jenkins de l'Université de
Sheffield, conférencier d'honneur. Sa présentation, 'Contes de
l'inattendu : travail de terrain et la vie quotidienne', promet
d'adresser directement les aspects souvent précaires et
contradictoires de la recherche en anthropologie.

Afin d'encourager l'exploration de sujets de façon inattendue par les
participants, la structure de la conférence sera différente de celles
des années précédentes. Premièrement, les organisateurs de CASCA 2012
proposent plusieurs groupes de discussion thématiques pour lesquels
les participants peuvent soumettre un résumé individuel. Ces groupes
de discussion thématiques seront construits autour de courtes
présentations (5 à 8 minutes) basées sur des articles qui seront
distribués avant la conférence afin de générer de plus amples
discussions qui incluront les présentateurs ainsi que les autres
participants de ces forums et les membres de l'auditoire. Les thèmes
de ces groupes de discussion proposés par les organisateurs incluront :

• Éthique et l'Inattendu
• L'expérience de l'Inattendu
• Se Préparer à l'inattendu
• Pratiquer l'inattendu
• L'inattendu dans l'imaginaire universel
• Liens inattendus dans et à travers la bio archéologie
• Oh oh!

En plus de groupes thématiques ci-dessus, d'autres formes de
participation incluront les présentations traditionnelles, sessions
PechaKucha et affiches (posters). La soumission de résumé individuel
est préférable; les organisateurs de la conférence assembleront les
séances à partir des résumés (maximum de 120 mots) dans le but de
bâtir des convergences nouvelles et inattendues entre participants et
thèmes. Les séances thématiques traditionnelles proposées par les
participants ne sont pas exclues mais ces séances pourraient être
modifiées afin de mieux cadrer dans le thème et l'esprit de la
conférence. En plus des communications traditionnelles de 15 minutes,
les participants auront l'opportunité de présenter dans des séances
d'affiches ou PechaKucha, pour lesquelles il y aura un maximum de 20
diapositives et un maximum de 20 secondes par diapositives. Chaque
type de séances permettra des interactions plus vives et plus engagées
entre les présentateurs les membres de l'auditoire.

Comme point de départ pour imaginer des contributions à L'Inattendu,
nous offrons les suggestions suivantes en espérant qu'elles
provoqueront des sujets nouveaux et inattendus à explorer avec les
participants à CASCA 2012.

Anthropologie de l'inattendu, de crises, de désastres et de tranquillité
L'anthropologie inattendue (ex. science-fiction, fiction ethnographique,
etc.)
L'anthropologie inattendue dans les classes ou autres milieux éducatifs
Collaborations et liens inattendus entre personnes, idées et disciplines
Conséquences inattendues de l'anthropologie
Dangers et tabous inattendus en anthropologie
Humour ou joie inattendu en anthropologie
Recherche ou résultats inattendus


Les résumés seront accepté jusqu'au 25 février. Pour plus de détails
sur l'inscription et les soumissions de résumés, visitez le site
internet de CASCA á www.cas-sca.ca.

discussions qui incluront les présentateurs ainsi que les autres
participants de ces forums et les membres de l'auditoire. Les thèmes
de ces groupes de discussion proposés par les organisateurs incluront :

• Éthique et l'Inattendu
• L'expérience de l'Inattendu
• Se Préparer à l'inattendu
• Pratiquer l'inattendu
• L'inattendu dans l'imaginaire universel
• Liens inattendus dans et à travers la bio archéologie
• Oh oh!

En plus de groupes thématiques ci-dessus, d'autres formes de
participation incluront les présentations traditionnelles, sessions
PechaKucha et affiches (posters). La soumission de résumé individuel
est préférable; les organisateurs de la conférence assembleront les
séances à partir des résumés (maximum de 120 mots) dans le but de
bâtir des convergences nouvelles et inattendues entre participants et
thèmes. Les séances thématiques traditionnelles proposées par les
participants ne sont pas exclues mais ces séances pourraient être
modifiées afin de mieux cadrer dans le thème et l'esprit de la
conférence. En plus des communications traditionnelles de 15 minutes,
les participants auront l'opportunité de présenter dans des séances
d'affiches ou PechaKucha, pour lesquelles il y aura un maximum de 20
diapositives et un maximum de 20 secondes par diapositives. Chaque
type de séances permettra des interactions plus vives et plus engagées
entre les présentateurs les membres de l'auditoire.

Comme point de départ pour imaginer des contributions à L'Inattendu,
nous offrons les suggestions suivantes en espérant qu'elles
provoqueront des sujets nouveaux et inattendus à explorer avec les
participants à CASCA 2012.

Anthropologie de l'inattendu, de crises, de désastres et de tranquillité
L'anthropologie inattendue (ex. science-fiction, fiction ethnographique,
etc.)
L'anthropologie inattendue dans les classes ou autres milieux éducatifs
Collaborations et liens inattendus entre personnes, idées et disciplines
Conséquences inattendues de l'anthropologie
Dangers et tabous inattendus en anthropologie
Humour ou joie inattendu en anthropologie
Recherche ou résultats inattendus


Les résumés seront accepté jusqu'au 25 février. Pour plus de détails

CIHR Proposed Reforms | IRSC Changements propos=?iso-8859-1?Q?=E9s?=

Le français suit l'anglais

Proposed Reforms of Open Programs and Peer Review
CIHR has initiated a process to design a new Open Suite of Programs and
peer review system that ensures the long-term sustainability of CIHR's
contribution to the Canadian health research enterprise, removes barriers,
and enables researchers from all pillars to improve CIHR's ability to
deliver on its mandate. CIHR sees these reforms as an opportunity to take
a holistic approach to designing a new Open Suite of Programs and peer
review process, and to address multiple challenges at once.
As part of our ongoing discussions on the CIHR reforms, we are pleased to
share with you the "Open Suite of Programs and Peer Review Enhancements"
discussion paper, which can be found on the CIHR website at:
http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/44761.html This document provides an
overview of our current thinking on the new design.

Before further developing elements of design and moving forward with their
implementation, CIHR wants to ensure that the changes being contemplated
address the concerns that have been raised by its research community. We
encourage you to share your perspectives to help us refine the design and
ensure that the transition occurs with minimal disruption.

You can submit feedback by completing a survey, participating in the CIHR
on-line discussion forum, attending an institution discussion or sending
us an email. Comments can be submitted until March 30, 2012.

We are looking forward to an on-going, active, and productive discussion
with our research community about the new Open Suite of Programs and Peer
Review Enhancements over the coming months.

Changements proposés à la série de programmes ouverts
et améliorations au processus d'évaluation par les pairs
Les IRSC ont entrepris de concevoir une nouvelle série de
programmes ouverts et des améliorations au système
d'évaluation par les pairs dans le but d'assurer la
viabilité à long terme de la contribution des IRSC à
l'entreprise canadienne de recherche en santé, de supprimer
certains obstacles et de permettre aux chercheurs œuvrant dans tous les
thèmes de recherche d'améliorer la capacité des IRSC
de s'acquitter de leur mandat. Les réformes entreprises permettent
aux IRSC d'adopter une approche globale pour concevoir une nouvelle
série de programmes ouverts et des améliorations au
processus d'évaluation par les pairs, et pour solutionner plusieurs
problèmes d'un coup.
Dans le cadre de nos discussions continues sur les réformes
proposées par les IRSC, nous sommes heureux de vous
présenter le document de travail conceptuel « Proposition de
changements à la série de programmes ouverts des IRSC et
d'améliorations au processus d'évaluation par les pairs
», qui se trouve sur le site Web des IRSC à
http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/f/44761.html. Ce document donne un
aperçu de l'état actuel de notre réflexion sur la
nouvelle conception.

Avant de poursuivre le développement des éléments de
la conception et d'aller de l'avant avec leur mise en œuvre, les IRSC
veulent s'assurer que les changements envisagés répondent
aux préoccupations soulevées par le milieu de la recherche.
Nous vous encourageons à nous faire part de vos points de vue pour
nous aider à préciser la conception et veiller à ce
que la transition se fasse le plus harmonieusement possible.

Vous pouvez soumettre vos commentaires en répondant à un
sondage, en participant au forum de discussion en ligne des IRSC, en
prenant part à une discussion dans un établissement ou en
nous envoyant un courriel. Vous avez jusqu'au 30 mars 2012 pour nous faire
parvenir vos commentaires.

Nous sommes impatients d'entreprendre un dialogue continu, actif et
productif avec les chercheurs au cours des mois à venir à
propos de la nouvelle série de programmes ouverts et des
améliorations à l'évaluation par les pairs.

CALL FOR PAPERS

CALL FOR PAPERS
Demeter Press
is seeking submissions for an edited collection
Chasing Rainbows: Exploring Gender
Fluid Parenting Practices
Co-Editors: Fiona Green and May Friedman
Publication Date: Early 2014
Feminist parenting creates unique challenges. Mothers may struggle with
shifts in their own subjectivity and the
peculiar conjoinment of parenthood. As women experience the unique
powerlessness of motherhood, they also hold
the uncomfortable power of acting as agents of socialization and social
control over their children. Fathers may feel
the desire for feminist parenting while experiencing a backlash and a lack
of support, while some parents may attempt
to resist the binaries of mothering and fathering in their feminist
parenting journey.
Feminist parents may attempt to resist gender binaries; they may submit to
them while attempting to foster critical
dialogue; they may struggle with the display of their own femininity and
masculinity or, for some, its perceived lack.
For some parents a dialogue about gender normativity may be inspired by
gender-diverse behavior on the part of their
own children, while others may parent children who happily submit to the
mainstream and query the need for gender
questioning. Chasing Rainbows: Exploring Gender Fluid Parenting Practices
attempts to cast a lens on the messy and
convoluted ways that feminist parents approach parenting their children in
gender aware and gender fluid ways. The
collection aims to draw together scholars, activists and community members
to open a conversation about the
challenges of exploring and maintaining an awareness of gender while
parenting in a highly gender normative world.
Because gender is expressed and performed differently in various places
and spaces, and across different ages, this
collection welcomes submissions from feminist parents and from the widest
range of experiences.
Possible approaches may include (but are not limited to):
• Cross-cultural, historical, transnational, comparative and
interdisciplinary modes of inquiry and analysis
• Gender fluid parenting within and beyond cisgendered mother and father
parenting roles
• The challenges and gifts of affective/psychic/embodied transformations
of gender fluid parenting
• Media representations and spectacles of gender fluid/diverse/variant
families
• Alternative visual and artistic depictions of gender variant
socialization in/of family life
• Racialization of gender variant parenting/family discourses
• Gender diverse self-help parenting texts
• Community based gender variant/diverse/fluid family activism and organizing
• Commodification of gender fluid and gender variant families
• Practical and theoretical ways of complicating and shaping fluid gender
expression
• Broad social and historical forces that impact what can be done and said
in the name of gender diverse families
Submission Guidelines
Abstracts should be 250 words. Please also include a brief biography (50
words) with citizenship.
Please send to: may.friedman@ryerson.ca, Ryerson University, 350 Victoria
St., Toronto, ON M5B 2K3
and f.green@uwinnipeg.ca, University of Winnipeg, 515 Portage Ave.,
Winnipeg, MB R3T 1M5.
Deadline for Abstracts is March 15, 2012 & Deadline for Acceptances is May
15, 2012.
Accepted papers not exceeding 15 pages (3750 words) will be due February
15, 2013
and should be formatted according to MLA guidelines. The book is to have
50 percent
Canadian content, so Canadian contributors are especially encouraged to
submit.
