*Call for Papers - 2012 UBC Anthropology Graduate Conference - please
post/share attached.*
*March 2nd and 3rd, 2012*
*Culture and Change: Towards a Dynamic Anthropology*
The Anthropology Department at the University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, is pleased to announce that *Dr. Yongming Zhou*, Professor of
Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, will be the keynote
speaker for the 2012 graduate student conference to be held at UBC Friday,
March 2nd, and Saturday, March 3rd, 2012. Additional information, advance
registration, and banquet ticket reservations are now available on the
conference website at http://anthgradconf.alyanne.net/index.html.
Anthropologists recognize that cultures are dynamic and changing. Recent
global events, such as the uprising in Egypt and the Occupy Movement, have
pushed these notions of social dynamism to the forefront of public
consciousness. How do global forces combine with local dynamics to shape
the futures of communities around the world? Scholars from the traditional
fields of anthropology, as well as geography, political science, law, and
other disciplines are engaging with this question in new ways.
We cordially invite graduate and undergraduate scholars across disciplines
to join us for an exploration of these themes. Please submit paper, poster,
and documentary/ethnographic film abstracts by the new extended
deadline *February
15th, 2012*, via the submission form on the conference website. Abstracts
are limited to 150 words. Please include 3 or 4 keywords below the body of
the abstract.
To register for the advance rate of $15, and to purchase banquet meal
tickets for $20, please visit the conference website at
http://anthgradconf.alyanne.net/index.html. Also check back for continual
updates on the program and schedule.
Please circulate widely to interested parties and direct any questions to

March 3rd!
