Every day we witness people across the globe challenging oppressive
social, political, and economic regimes. As sociologists, it is
critical for us to consider the multiple ways that our sociological
research, pedagogy, policy and practice can substantively address the
complex issues and formidable dilemmas of our time.
Social Justice & Democratization Space provides an environment to
support and enhance communication, cooperation, and efficacy in the
international dissemination and exchange of information among
researchers, teachers and practitioners that can contribute to
transformative change.
Social Justice & Democratization Space is a new ISA project initiated
by Margaret Abraham, ISA VP Research and developed in partnership with
Robert Rojek, SAGE Publications.

CIHR Annual Report
The CIHR Annual Report 2011-12: The Measure of Success, is now available
on the CIHR website ( http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/45574.html ) . The
report was officially tabled on August 22 in the House of Commons by the
Minister of Health. This year, as part of our ongoing effort to assess our
performance, CIHR hosted the prestigious International Review Panel (IRP).
This report highlights the actions we have taken to implement the
recommendations of the IRP, and how these recommendations align with our
overall strategic plan. It also shines a spotlight on the work of
CIHR-funded researchers across the country who are helping build a
healthier future for Canadians.
Writing Letters of Support
The objective of a new CIHR document is to provide guidelines for writing
effective letters of support. The information in the guide is based on an
analysis of the extent to which the strength or weakness of letters of
support impacts peer review scores on integrated Knowledge Translation
(iKT) applications.

CIHR Annual Report
The CIHR Annual Report 2011-12: The Measure of Success, is now available
on the CIHR website ( http://www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca/e/45574.html ) . The
report was officially tabled on August 22 in the House of Commons by the
Minister of Health. This year, as part of our ongoing effort to assess our
performance, CIHR hosted the prestigious International Review Panel (IRP).
This report highlights the actions we have taken to implement the
recommendations of the IRP, and how these recommendations align with our
overall strategic plan. It also shines a spotlight on the work of
CIHR-funded researchers across the country who are helping build a
healthier future for Canadians.
Writing Letters of Support
The objective of a new CIHR document is to provide guidelines for writing
effective letters of support. The information in the guide is based on an
analysis of the extent to which the strength or weakness of letters of
support impacts peer review scores on integrated Knowledge Translation
(iKT) applications.

Announcing the New Geographic Perspectives on Women (GPOW) Website at gpow.org
gpow.org has launched!
The Geographic Perspectives on Women (GPOW) research group of the
Association of American Geographers (AAG) has relaunched at gpow.org.
The purpose of the GPOW Specialty Group is to promote geographic
research and education on topics relating to women and gender. The
site includes information on our sponsorship of GPOW awards,
GPOW-sponsored AAG sessions, our history, teaching resources, and is a
sister site to the Gender and Geography Bibliography which was
relaunched this past spring. You can subscribe to GPOW site posts by
clicking the Follow link on the bottom-right hand corner of the site.
Keep checking back! Board members and organization members will be
posting about their research, pedagogy, and experiences on topics
relevant to feminist geography. We also welcome submissions from
others interested in sharing about their work, research, ideas, and
lives, including writing, photography, and other multimedia from
research sites and projects. We are also eager to collect information
on past GPOW gatherings in the form of photos, and collect reminisces
on the organization's history. Email the GPOW webweaver, Jen
Gieseking, at jgieseking@gmail.com with your materials and she will
forward them on to the rest of the board.
This site would not be possible without the previous site developed
and overseen by Dr. Amy Trauger, and the collection of materials by
Dr. Tiffany Muller Myrdahl. Thanks to both scholars for their
dedication and support of GPOW.

CFP: Rethinking Race and Sexuality: Feminist Conversations, Contestations, and Coalitions
Pour la version française de cette annonce, veuillez lire
http://wsdb.concordia.ca/news-and-events/upcoming-events/documents/35thconf_frfinal.pdf
Call for Abstracts
35th Anniversary conference
*Rethinking Race and Sexuality: Feminist Conversations, Contestations, and
Coalitions*
Simone de Beauvoir Institute
Concordia University
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
April 17th-19th, 2013
(abstract submission deadline 15 October 2012)
This three-day international conference brings together scholars,
activists, artists, and
students from a broad range of disciplines and fields to discuss the
complex ways in which
race and sexuality shape one another. The conference seeks to encourage
conversations
between feminists who work on issues of race and those who work on issues
of sexuality.
Specifically we ask: How does race structure sexualities? How are
sexualities racialized?
How do the forces of global neoliberalism effect conceptions and
configurations of race
and sexuality? What methods, approaches and theories are most useful for
examining
these questions?
To contemplate these concerns, we invite submissions in French or English
for papers or
visual presentations (performances, videos or other artworks) that
address—but are not
limited to—the following broad themes related to race and/or sexualities:
-Embodiment, health, biopolitics
-Sex/Gender
-Political economies
-States, citizenship and trans/nationalisms
-Colonialisms and imperialisms
confirmed speakers
Dr. Gayatri Gopinath (New York University)
Author of Impossible Desires: Queer Diasporas and South Asian Public
Cultures
Dr. Anne McClintock (University of Wisconsin-Madison)
Author of Imperial Leather: Race, Gender and Sexuality in the Colonial
Contest
Françoise David (Montreal)
Prominent feminist activist, initiator of the World March of Women, and
author of De colère et d'espoir
conference context:
Over the past four decades, feminists have been challenging each other to
consider the complex
relationships between race and sexuality, alongside questions such as those
of capital, gender,
embodiment, nationalisms, and imperialisms. As a result, significant
paradigmatic shifts away
from ahistorical, universal, and/or "single-issue" feminist thinking have
occurred. Despite
these important strides, however, conceptual, material, and practical
barriers persist.
The Simone de Beauvoir Institute (SdBI) is a vibrant community of
interdisciplinary scholars
and activists committed to critical examination on feminisms, power
relations and social
justice. The conference on "Rethinking Race and Sexuality: Feminist
Conversations, Contestations, and
Coalitions" marks the 35th anniversary of the SdBI and offers opportunities
for retrospective
and forward-looking thinking on these political and theoretical challenges.
We invite you to
join us in this celebration!

and Protest and a wide range of national and international speakers
will be invited to share their perspectives on numerous facets of this
theme. The conference is designed to expose law students, lawyers,
and those interested in civil liberties and human rights issues to the
important public interest cases and issues that are constantly arising
in our society and encourage them to think critically about these
issues. Prominent speakers from academic institutions, law firms,
government and national and international public interest
organizations will be sharing their perspectives on a variety of
subjects.
The CCLA has applied for the continuing education accreditation from
the Quebec Bar – please check the conference website for the most
recent update.

CFP SfAA 2013: Gender-Based Violence, Advocacy, and Equitable Access
Call for Papers for the 73rd Annual Meeting of the Society for Applied
Anthropology (SFAA), March 19-23, 2013 in Denver, CO
*Gender-Based Violence, Advocacy, and Equitable Access*
Anthropologists are expanding the theoretical and methodological approaches
to examining gender-based violence through time and across cultures.
However, despite growing recognition of the global importance of
gender-based violence, advocates continue to struggle to improve access to
services that prevent violence or mitigate its effects. In keeping with the
SFAA's theme this year, we are concerned with analyzing, deconstructing,
and theorizing the following question: *How does a society assure equitable
access to gender violence prevention and mitigation resources for diverse
and often competing constituents?*
We invite papers that examine:
· disparities in access (for instance, the ways that men and women of
color, LGBTQ individuals, rural people, and immigrant men and women may
face inadequate or non-existent resources to address experiences of
violence);
· logistical, political or legal challenges of providing services to
diverse constituents (for example, for people who do not fit the victim
archetype, immigration issues related to amnesty or citizenship, or
symbolic violence in legal policies and the language of laws);
· the production of a social or legal system that is unable or unwilling
to equally protect and represent the basic needs of all those who
experience violence; or
· other relevant topics.
We also welcome papers that address transdisciplinary efforts, geographic
locations previously understudied, and studies of populations
undertheorized. Furthermore, we would encourage papers that explore
the borders of the term "gender-based violence" and its implications for
quality service-provision.
Please send paper titles, abstracts (100 words or less), and contact
information to Karin Friederic,*friedeku@wfu.edu* <friedeku@wfu.edu> by
October 5th. We may submit one or two panels, depending on the number of
submissions. If we choose to include your abstract, we will ask that you
register with the SFAA by October 15th (the deadline for abstracts &
session proposals). For more information on the meeting, visit:*

SCA Student-Faculty Workshop Announcement
(Apologies for cross-posting)
Dear Graduate Students:
I'm pleased to announce the Society for Cultural Anthropology's 2012
Faculty-Student Workshop luncheons at the AAA meetings this November in
San Francisco.
Following upon the success we enjoyed at last year's annual meeting, the
Society for Cultural Anthropology will again be sponsoring four
faculty-student workshop luncheons at this year's meeting. The workshops
are intended to provide an informal setting where students can discuss
their work with faculty members and fellow graduate students from other
universities. They are:
Entangled Finance
Facilitator: Karen Ho (University of Minnesota)
Ethnography of Science and Problematics of Human Difference
Facilitators: Duana Fullwiley (Stanford) and Michael Montoya (UC Irvine)
Dilemmas of Studying Charitable, Humanitarian, Human Rights, and
Development Organizations in Insecure States
Facilitator: Erica Caple James (MIT)
Anthropology/History
Facilitators: John Collins (CUNY) and Carole McGranahan (University of
Colorado)
Further description of each workshop theme can be found at the end of this
e-mail, and at http://sca.culanth.org/meetings/meetingsindex.htm.
The luncheon workshops will be limited to five students each, and they
will take at a restaurant near the conference hotel. The workshops are
free to all participants and open to SCA student members enrolled in Ph.D.
programs. Lunch is provided. All workshops run from 12:15 to 1:30 to
match the AAA's programmed lunch sessions.
To join one of these workshops, students are asked to submit by October
18, 2012 a 250 to 300 word description about your research project. You
are encouraged to include within the description specific questions for
the workshop leader(s) and for the group as a whole to consider.
Descriptions will be shared with fellow workshop participants in advance
of the meeting.
Please send your request to me at
scaworkshops2012@gmail.com<mailto:scaworkshops2012@gmail.com>, Include
your name, your university affiliation, the workshop you want to attend,
and your one-page description. Please bear in mind that project
descriptions longer than one page will not be considered.
Applications will be accepted on a first-come first-serve basis, noting
that: 1. the project descriptions are closely suited to the workshop
themes; 2. students and workshop leaders are from different institutions;
and 3. you are a member of the SCA. If you are not yet a member of the
SCA, but would like to join at the modest student rate of $12.50 a year,
which includes a full print subscription to the journal, Cultural
Anthropology, you can do so easily on our website:
http://sca.culanth.org/join/join.htm
Formal notice of participation will be sent out October 25, 2012.

Workshop Descriptions
Entangled Finance
Facilitator: Karen Ho (University of Minnesota)
http://anthropology.umn.edu/people/facultyprofile.php?UID=karenho
What kinds of projects, questions, and concerns might be the most
generative for the "next generation" of interdisciplinary, social
scientific scholars of finance to pursue? What are some of the
contributions, lessons, and/or pitfalls of current iterations of "the
anthropology of finance"? Specifically, in the face of dominant
financialization and the continual re-making of the contours of that
financialization, where lives are continually entangled with finance, are
older theoretical assumptions such as the disconnect between finance and
production, the abstract and the real, still very useful? How can we (or
do we need to) re-frame the core binaries and frameworks through which we
set up our methodological and theoretical approaches to finance in the
first place? Are there particular ways in which finance is being imagined
in anthropology that have prevented novel collaborations and rethinking of
taken-for-granted socio-economic categories and groups?
Ethnography of Science and Problematics of Human Difference
Facilitators: Duana Fullwiley (Stanford) and Michael Montoya (UC Irvine)
https://www.stanford.edu/dept/anthropology/cgi-bin/web/?q=node/1079
http://www.anthropology.uci.edu/anthr_bios/mmontoya
Many provocative lines of inquiry in the life sciences are reanimating
notions that anthropologists largely see as culturally and politically
constructed divisions of human social and biological life. Race, sex,
gender, disease tendencies, psychological capacity, and pharmaceutical
susceptibility are increasingly reiterated through high-tech science,
often in reductive ways. In this workshop we will examine these and other
objects of study within cultures of science. Specifically, we will ask
students to think about how global politics, market trends, and cultural
politics of belonging and inclusion play into the naturalization of
difference today. In discussing the importance of conducting
ethnographies of science, we will also engage problems of knowledge more
broadly. Beyond simply glossing how human difference is socially
constructed within science, we hope to push further and encourage students
to begin to describe the material, physiological, and biological effects
of how global disparities are evidenced in their field sites. What are
the processes through which such disparities become attributed to specific
bodies and populations? What scientific grammars and cultural politics
merge to make such knowledge possible?
Dilemmas of Studying Charitable, Humanitarian, Human Rights, and
Development Organizations in Insecure States
Facilitator: Erica Caple James (MIT)
http://web.mit.edu/anthropology/people/faculty/james.html
Recent literature in anthropology has begun to focus intensively on the
historical and contemporary roles that governmental, nongovernmental, and
other institutional actors have played in managing and governing "life,"
while also delivering compassionate "care." Whether in studies of charity,
humanitarian relief, development, or other kinds of aid, contemporary
relationships based on gift-giving and exchanges of knowledge, practices,
technologies, therapies, and other discursive "objects," remain central
theoretical paradigms that are "good to think." This workshop is designed
to build an ongoing conversation to support anthropologists working on
issues of violence and trauma, human and civil rights, and organized
humanitarianism ("faith-based," "secular," etc.) in (post)conflict,
(post)disaster, and other "transitional" settings. The workshop welcomes
participants grappling with the moral and ethical dimensions of "activist
anthropology" and the methodological challenges of studying organizations,
as well as ethnographers engaged in clinical or therapeutic settings.
Anthropology/History
Facilitators: John Collins (CUNY) and Carole McGranahan (University of
Colorado)
http://www.colorado.edu/Anthropology/people/bios/mcgranahan.html
http://qcpages.qc.cuny.edu/anthro/collins/collins.html
What does it mean to put together anthropology and history, and why should
they be put together? How might ethnographers do so in ways that are
conceptually, methodologically, and theoretically sophisticated? That is,
how does one undertake historically "thick" scholarship as an
anthropologist? In this workshop, we consider history as a
culturally-specific epistemology, an academic discipline, and a social
ontology, arguing that sophisticated approaches to these domains and their
overlaps is critical to productive engagement with a variety of pasts,
presents, and futures. Such work may take a wide range of forms, from
examining different temporal ways of knowing, the production of history,
the politics of memory, lived experiences in earlier periods, the
constitution of historical subjectivities, and concerns with histories of
the present. What does it mean, for example, to do ethnography in the
archives or historical research in the field? What is the difference
between oral and ethnographic history? How might anthropologists move
between scales—from life histories to those of communities ranging from
villages through states and global institutions—in ways that remain
committed to an ethnographic sensibility? In a nutshell, then, how might
anthropologists' long-term concerns with institutions and the cultural
bases of knowledge and truth be integrated more effectively into an
exploration of historical consciousness in the world today?

Call for Abstracts: Feminism, Science & Materialism
*Call for Abstracts: Feminism, Science & Materialism*
http://sciencestudies.gc.cuny.edu/call-for-abstracts-feminism-science-materialism-conference/
Call for Abstracts: Feminism, Science & Materialism conference
Graduate Center, City University of New York
February 14-15, 2013
Keynote Speaker: Karen Barad
In the past decade, feminist theory has elaborated new materialist
perspectives to re-imagine nature, biology, and matter more generally and
to critically address new developments in biology, physics, neuroscience
and other scientific disciplines. This scholarship revisits the
relationship between human corporeality and subjectivity, questions and
redefines the boundaries of human and non-human and nature and culture, and
elaborates on their mutual entanglements. New feminist theories address
materialization as a complex and open process and matter as lively and
productive.
This conference, organized jointly by the Center for the Study of Women and
Society and the Committee on Interdisciplinary Science Studies at the
Graduate Center, will engage with feminist perspectives on the
onto-epistemological questions raised by the materialist turn. We invite
papers from various disciplines that address a wide range of issues,
including, but not limited to:
- The intellectual and scientific context of the new turn toward materialism
- The relation of matter — including the biological body — to the social.
- The relation between new materialism and previous materialisms (such as
Marxism and phenomenology) and particularly their feminist elaborations.
What are the continuities and discontinuities between feminist materialisms
from the 1970s thru the current moment?
- The insights, knowledge and methodologies offered by the new materialist
studies of science offered. What new frontiers have they opened? What can
the "new sciences" offer for feminist theory?
- The political implications of neo-materialism for feminism as a project,
theory and a movement for social justice. How can we account for durable
hierarchies and the normative production of gender, race, class and
sexuality within new materialist frameworks?
- Critical applications of "agential realism," as elaborated by Karen
Barad, and other theoretical innovations for addressing material-discursive
relations and the epistemological questions they raise
- Empirical research using materialist feminist frameworks
Space for paper presentations is limited. To apply, please send an extended
abstract of 1000 words and a short bio to feminism.science@gmail.com by
November 1, 2012.
