Colloquium Series - Diaspora and Transnational Studies - University of Toronto
The Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies at the University of
Toronto cordially invites you to our research methods colloquium series,
Methods Café. This week's seminar features a discussion of a recently
published book by Prof. Andrea Muehlebach "The Moral Neoliberal: Welfare and
Citizenship in Italy" (2012, The University of Chicago Press).
Discussant comments to be provided by Prof. Tania Li.
The seminar will take place at JHB100A (ground floor) at the Jackman
Humanities Building, 170 St. George.
Andrea Muehlebach and Tania Li
Department of Anthropology, University of Toronto
Discussing "The Moral Neoliberal: Welfare and Citizenship in Italy"
Friday, November 30th
2:00 - 4:00 pm
Abstract for the book:
Set within the shifting landscape of neoliberal welfare reform in the
Lombardy region of Italy and visiting sites from Milanese high schools to
he offices of of social workers to the homes of the poor, "The Moral
Neoliberal" examines the phenomenal rise of voluntarism during Italy's
current withdrawal of social service programs. Mounting a powerful and
paradoxical argument that morality in Italy has become an indispensable
tool for capitalist transformation, Muehlebach explores the state's mass
mobilization of selflessness as a means to cement - and to sometimes also
unintentionally undermine - some of its most controversial reforms.

Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing, Fall 2013 (UTSC)
Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing, Fall 2013
The Centre for Ethnography (CE) at the University of Toronto at
Scarborough (UTSC) is accepting applications for their annual
Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing. Writing is a key component of the
work of an anthropologist, but it takes time and benefits from some
distance from the fieldwork itself, and from other obligations. In
recognition of this fact the CE introduced a Fellowship in
Ethnographic Writing in 2010. We are now seeking applications for the
Fall Term of 2013, to be held at UTSC.
The recipient of this award is expected to devote their time fully to
writing and may not teach or hold any other form of employment during
the tenure of the award. They are expected to attend all talks and
colloquia at the CE, to work several days a week on campus at UTSC,
and to contribute a presentation of their work in progress to the
colloquia. In addition, the Fellow will be available to coach students
completing an undergraduate writing assignment, in tandem with a
professor teaching a core introductory course. This work will be
limited to 5 hours in total.
Applicants should supply a statement of no more than 5 double-spaced
pages describing their writing project, indicating the stage that it
is at, and precisely what they wish to accomplish during the duration
of the Fellowship. Explicit attention to questions of genre,
narrative, and audience are welcome but not essential. Successful
applicants will either be at the post-doctoral stage (engaged in
transforming a thesis into a book or articles) or in the final stages
of completing the doctoral thesis. All applicants must have completed
their doctoral fieldwork and have already submitted significant
portions of their dissertation to their committee. The current stipend
is set at $10,000 for a period of ten weeks.
The closing date for this competition is March 1, 2013. Please send
all applications, as well as the names of two referees, electronically
to the Centre for Ethnography <centreforethnography@utsc.utoronto.ca>.

Centre for Ethnography Talk with Amira Mittermaeir - 28 November
Nov. 28 Centre for Ethnography Talk with Amira Mittermaeir
The Centre for Ethnography (Department of Anthropology, UTSC) will be
holding its final talk for this semester, on Wednesday, 28 November,
1-3pm, at MW 296.
Prof Amira Mittermaeir (University of Toronto)
"Islamic Charity in Egypt: On Ethics and Its Limits"
Prof. Mittermaier is the author of the award-winning book "Dreams that
Matter: Egyptian Landscapes of the Imagination" (2011, University of
California Press).
We look forward to seeing you there!
Abstract: Drawing on fieldwork at one of Cairo's largest charity
organizations, this paper offers a critical engagement with the anthropology
of ethics and morality. Over the past ten years, and even more so since the
uprising in January 2011, thousands of young Egyptians have become involved
in charitable activities. In this paper I reflect on the volunteers' own
understandings of their charitable work. Whereas some describe charitable
giving as inherently ethical (as responding to need and suffering), others
insist that their actions are not for "the poor" but for God. Their goal is
not being ethical but following God's commands. By cultivating a radical
orientedness toward God, they explicitly reject the language of
'amalal-khayr, the "doing of good deeds," and offer a critique of "empathy"
and "compassion." I suggest that this "anti-ethical" stand invites not only
an expansion but also a critical rethinking of the ethical turn in
anthropology.

RA Session // Moments of Suspension, Moments of Transition (Nov 30)
Simone de beauvoir Institute - Upcoming Presentation, Nov. 30
Moments of Suspension, Moments of Transition:
Liminality in the Writings of Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth Bowen
Emma Short (Newcastle University)
Friday, November 30, 2012 at 2pm
SdBI lounge
(2170 Bishop) MU 203
Free
Writing to her cousin from her room at Queen’s College, London,
Katherine Mansfield recounts a teacher’s dismissal of her as ‘a little
savage from New Zealand,’ thus recognizing the way in which her
colonial status precludes her from truly belonging either to her
now-distant birthplace, or to the Imperial centre of London. As an
Anglo-Irish writer, the site of Elizabeth Bowen’s home is similarly
uncertain. Neither English nor Irish, but a hybrid of both, she, like
Mansfield, does not belong to either country, existing instead in an
unstable, liminal sphere. Bowen’s admiration for Mansfield is
well-documented, and while Bowen was undoubtedly influenced by
Mansfield’s style, technique and talent, this paper foregrounds a
deeper connection between the two authors in their shared, fractured
histories, and in the effect that this had on their writing. Charting
the persistence of in-between spaces across the work of Mansfield and
Bowen, this paper considers the way in which the use of such spaces by
the two writers not only signifies their shared histories of hybridity
and dislocation, but also enables them to interrogate the shifting
existence of women in modernity. Critical work on the respective
output of these writers has noted their fascination with the liminal
spaces of everyday existence (Smith [1999]; Ellmann [2003]).
Staircases, windows, hallways and corridors haunt the fiction of both
authors, alongside the larger, more complex spaces of the hotel and
the boarding-house which exist in between the public chaos of
modernity and the private confines of the domestic. Through engagement
with readings of modernist female subjectivity (Gan [2009]) and with
postcolonial theories of exile and belonging (George [1996]), this
paper reveals the dialogues operating across the writings of Mansfield
and Bowen through the spaces of the in-between.
Emma is the Network Facilitator for the Leverhulme International
Network Approaching War: Childhood Cultures and the First World War,
1880-1920, and a part-time tutor at Newcastle University. She
completed her Ph.D. at Newcastle University in early 2012. Her current
research explores the relationship between subjectivity and space in
women’s written representations of travel in the early twentieth
century. She has published several chapters on the hotel and women’s
travel. She is also co-editor of The Female Figure in Contemporary
Historical Fiction (Palgrave, 2012).

/PREVENTIVE MEDICINE/ CALL FOR POPULATION HEALTH INTERVENTION
RESEARCH PAPERS
/Preventive Medicine/ in collaboration with Guest Editors Mark
Petticrew, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Louise
Potvin, Universite de Montreal, invite researchers to submit papers on
population health intervention research for a themed section of the
journal.
A working definition of Population Health Intervention Research (PHIR)
is Â"the use of scientific methods to produce knowledge about policy,
program, and resource distribution approaches that operate within or
outside of the health sector and have the potential to impact health
at the population level.Â"
This themed issue will feature conceptual and theoretical papers about
the foundations of PHIR, systematic and realist reviews of literature
on population health interventions and related processes/outcomes, and
research articles describing the processes and/or results of
population health intervention studies using a range of research
designs and methods. We also encourage submissions involving multiple
jurisdictions, sectors, disciplines, and communities in high, middle-
and low-income countries.
For more information, visit the website[8].
/DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: NOVEMBER 30, 2012/
HEALTH SYSTEMS EVIDENCE
A newly enhanced version of Health Systems Evidence[9] has been
launched that gives policymakers, stakeholders and researchers access
to more comprehensive evidence on how to strengthen or reform health
systems. The service now contains complete inventories of economic
evaluations of health system reforms published since 2007,
descriptions of health systems around the world and descriptions of
health system reforms. For more details on the launch, visit the
website[10].
REPORT ON THE STATE OF PUBLIC HEALTH IN CANADA
The Report on the State of Public Health in Canada, 2012: Influencing
Health – The Importance of Sex and Gender[11] was tabled in
Parliament on October 26, 2012.
It explores the influence of sex and gender on public health and the
health status of Canadians. Differences in health experienced by men,
women, boys and girls can be attributed to biological diversity as
well as the social roles and responsibilities assumed by each of us.
As a society we need to better understand how sex and gender interact
with other determinants of health. Policy makers need to consider
gender-based evidence when making decisions on programs and
initiatives to support more effective and efficient health outcomes.
There is a wealth of experience and knowledge in Canada, and around
the world, and there are opportunities for positive change. Throughout
the report, there are many examples of what is working well and the
differences we can make in the lives of Canadians. Collectively we can
influence our health and create a better and healthier future for all
Canadians.

Invitation à présenter des articles de recherche interventionnelle en
santé des populations pour la revue Preventive Medicine
La revue Preventive Medicine, en collaboration avec les rédacteurs en
chef invités, Mark Petticrew, de la London School of Hygiene and
Tropical Medicine, et Louise Potvin, de l'Université de Montréal,
invitent les chercheurs à soumettre un article de recherche
interventionnelle en santé des populations (RISP), pour une section de
la revue consacrée à ce sujet.
Selon une définition pratique de la recherche interventionnelle en
santé des populations, la RISP « nécessite le recours à des méthodes
scientifiques pour produire des connaissances sur les interventions en
matière de politiques, de programmes et d'approches de répartition des
ressources qui sont effectuées à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur du
secteur de la santé et qui peuvent avoir un impact sur la santé des
populations ».
Ce numéro à thème présentera des articles conceptuels et théoriques
sur le fondement de la RISP, des examens systématiques et réalistes de
la littérature sur les interventions en santé des populations et des
processus et résultats connexes, ainsi que des articles de recherche
décrivant les processus et/ou les résultats des études
interventionnelles en santé des populations au moyen d'une vaste gamme
de plans et de méthodes de recherche. Nous encourageons également la
présentation d'articles de plusieurs régions, secteurs, disciplines et
communautés, et ce, des pays à revenu élevé, intermédiaire et faible.
Pour plus d'informations, veuillez consulter le site web (en anglais

Date limite de soumission : le 30 novembre 2012
Health Systems Evidence
Une nouvelle version améliorée de Health Systems Evidence (anglais
seulement) vient tout juste d'être lancée. Cette nouvelle version
offre aux responsables de politiques, aux parties prenantes et aux
chercheurs un accès à des données probantes encore plus complètes sur
les façons de renforcer ou réformer les systèmes de santé. Le service
comprend maintenant des inventaires complets d'évaluations économiques
sur des réformes du système de santé publiées depuis 2007, des
descriptions de systèmes de santé de partout à travers le monde, et
des descriptions de réformes de la santé. Pour plus de détails sur le
lancement, veuillez consulter le site web (anglais seulement).
Rapport de l'administrateur en chef de la santé publique au Canada
Que le 26 octobre 2012, la Rapport de l'administrateur en chef de la
santé publique au Canada 2012 : Le sexe et le genre – Leur influence
importante sur la santé a été présenté au Parlement.
Il explore l'influence du sexe et du genre sur la santé publique et
l'état de santé des Canadiens. Les différences sur le plan de l'état
de santé des hommes, des femmes, des garçons et des filles peuvent
être attribuées à la diversité biologique ainsi qu'aux responsabilités
et aux rôles sociaux de chacun.
En tant que société, nous devons comprendre davantage comment le sexe
et le genre interagissent avec d'autres déterminants de la santé. Les
décideurs doivent tenir compte des données liées au sexe et au genre
au moment de prendre des décisions concernant les programmes et les
initiatives à mettre en œuvre en vue de trouver des façons plus
efficientes et efficaces d'améliorer la santé des Canadiens.
L'expérience et les connaissances – au Canada comme à l'étranger –
peuvent donner lieu à des changements positifs. Le rapport contient de
nombreux exemples de ce qui fonctionne bien et présente les
différences que nous pouvons apporter dans la vie des Canadiens.
Ensemble, nous pouvons agir pour améliorer notre santé et assurer un
avenir meilleur et plus sain pour tous les Canadiens.

Rapport de l'administrateur en chef de la santé publique au Canada
Que le 26 octobre 2012, la Rapport de l'administrateur en chef de la
santé publique au Canada 2012 : Le sexe et le genre – Leur influence
importante sur la santé a été présenté au Parlement.
Il explore l'influence du sexe et du genre sur la santé publique et
l'état de santé des Canadiens. Les différences sur le plan de l'état
de santé des hommes, des femmes, des garçons et des filles peuvent
être attribuées à la diversité biologique ainsi qu'aux responsabilités
et aux rôles sociaux de chacun.
En tant que société, nous devons comprendre davantage comment le sexe
et le genre interagissent avec d'autres déterminants de la santé. Les
décideurs doivent tenir compte des données liées au sexe et au genre
au moment de prendre des décisions concernant les programmes et les
initiatives à mettre en œuvre en vue de trouver des façons plus
efficientes et efficaces d'améliorer la santé des Canadiens.
L'expérience et les connaissances – au Canada comme à l'étranger –
peuvent donner lieu à des changements positifs. Le rapport contient de
nombreux exemples de ce qui fonctionne bien et présente les
différences que nous pouvons apporter dans la vie des Canadiens.
Ensemble, nous pouvons agir pour améliorer notre santé et assurer un
avenir meilleur et plus sain pour tous les Canadiens.

> Omer Bartov is the John P. Birkelund Distinguished Professor of European
History
and professor of history and professor of German studies at Brown University.
Considered one of the world's leading specialists on the subject of
genocide, he
is the author of seven books and the editor of three volumes. His most recent
book, Erased: Vanishing Traces of Jewish Galicia in Present-Day Ukraine
(2007),
examines the politics of memory in western Ukraine and removal of both the
memory
and the few material remains of Jewish culture there. He is currently
writing a
book titled The Voice of Your Brother's Blood: Buczacz, Biography of a Town.
>
> This lecture will describe and analyze the mass murder of the Jewish
population of
Buczacz, a small town in eastern Galicia, in 1941–44. Buczacz had been a
multiethnic town for four centuries, inhabited by Poles, Ukrainians, and
Jews.
During the German occupation in World War II, about half of the Jewish
residents
were taken to extermination camps, while the other half were murdered in
the town
and its vicinity in what were often public acts of mass violence. The
killings
were accomplished with a great deal of local collaboration, especially by
Ukrainian policemen and auxiliaries. In the latter part of the occupation,
the
Polish population was violently ethnically cleansed by Ukrainian nationalist
militants. The lecture will investigate why this community of coexistence was
transformed into a community of genocide; to what extent this was a common
phenomenon at the time in eastern Europe; and what sources can be used to
reconstruct the event and understand the motivations of the protagonists.
>
> The J. B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Senior Scholar-in-Residence Fellowship,
endowed
by the J. B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Charitable Trust, enables the Center
to bring
a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative
research
about the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the public. The
scholar-in-residence also leads seminars, lectures at universities in the
United
States, and serves as a resource for the Museum, educators, students, and the
general public.

> New Research and Resources on Children and the Holocaust
> Helena Rubinstein Auditorium
>
> Ten years after the first conference on this topic convened by the
Center, this
symposium explores the evolution of the study of children and the
Holocaust. These
presentations utilize new Museum resources to interrogate familiar
subjects such
as hiding and rescue, as well as probe new areas of research such as postwar
identity; history and memory; and the challenges and opportunities
presented by
child survivor testimony itself.

Vatican II
> JUNE 10–14, 2013
> Applications due February 19
>
>
> Designed for professors of all disciplines but particularly seminary and
religious
studies faculty, this seminar will explore the shift in Catholic thought
on the
Jews since 1965 resulting from the promulgation of the Vatican II declaration
Nostra Aetate ("In Our Age"). The statement about the Jews in Nostra Aetate
reversed and refuted ideas that went back to the Church's earliest days
and grew
out of deep theological reflection occasioned by witnessing the Holocaust.
While
the best-known images from Vatican II emphasize the deliberations of
bishops, the
actual intellectual impetus for the revolution came from the margins of the
Church, specifically a small group of converts to Catholicism, many of
them from
Judaism. How did they succeed in making themselves heard in an institution
that,
to many, had seemed impervious to change? This seminar will examine the
primary
influences—historical, theological, and biographical—on this revolution in
Catholic teaching.
>
> The seminar will be taught by John Connelly, professor of history at the
University of California at Berkeley. Professor Connelly is the author of
From
Enemy to Brother: The Revolution in Catholic Teaching on the Jews, 1933–1965
(2012) and Captive University: The Sovietization of East German, Czech and
Polish
Higher Education (2000), which won the 2001 George Beer Award of the American
Historical Association; and co-editor of Universities Under Dictatorship
(2005).

Considered one of the world's leading specialists on the subject of
genocide, he
is the author of seven books and the editor of three volumes. His most recent
book, Erased: Vanishing Traces of Jewish Galicia in Present-Day Ukraine
(2007),
examines the politics of memory in western Ukraine and removal of both the

and the few material remains of Jewish culture there. He is currently
writing a
book titled The Voice of Your Brother's Blood: Buczacz, Biography of a Town.

population of
Buczacz, a small town in eastern Galicia, in 1941–44. Buczacz had been a
multiethnic town for four centuries, inhabited by Poles, Ukrainians, and
Jews.
During the German occupation in World War II, about half of the Jewish
residents
were taken to extermination camps, while the other half were murdered in
the town
and its vicinity in what were often public acts of mass violence. The
killings
were accomplished with a great deal of local collaboration, especially by
Ukrainian policemen and auxiliaries. In the latter part of the occupation,
the
Polish population was violently ethnically cleansed by Ukrainian nationalist
militants. The lecture will investigate why this community of coexistence was
transformed into a community of genocide; to what extent this was a common
phenomenon at the time in eastern Europe; and what sources can be used to
reconstruct the event and understand the motivations of the protagonists.

> Ten years after the first conference on this topic convened by the
Center, this
symposium explores the evolution of the study of children and the
Holocaust. These
presentations utilize new Museum resources to interrogate familiar
subjects such
as hiding and rescue, as well as probe new areas of research such as postwar
identity; history and memory; and the challenges and opportunities
presented by
child survivor testimony itself.

> 2013 Annual Seminar for Seminary and Religious Studies Faculty
> The Overlooked Revolution: The Shift in Catholic Teaching on the Jews since
Vatican II
> JUNE 10–14, 2013
> Applications due February 19
>
>
> Designed for professors of all disciplines but particularly seminary and
religious
studies faculty, this seminar will explore the shift in Catholic thought
on the
Jews since 1965 resulting from the promulgation of the Vatican II declaration
Nostra Aetate ("In Our Age"). The statement about the Jews in Nostra Aetate
reversed and refuted ideas that went back to the Church's earliest days
and grew
out of deep theological reflection occasioned by witnessing the Holocaust.
While
the best-known images from Vatican II emphasize the deliberations of
bishops, the
actual intellectual impetus for the revolution came from the margins of the
Church, specifically a small group of converts to Catholicism, many of
them from
Judaism. How did they succeed in making themselves heard in an institution
that,
to many, had seemed impervious to change? This seminar will examine the
primary
influences—historical, theological, and biographical—on this revolution in
Catholic teaching.
>
> The seminar will be taught by John Connelly, professor of history at the
University of California at Berkeley. Professor Connelly is the author of
From
Enemy to Brother: The Revolution in Catholic Teaching on the Jews, 1933–1965
(2012) and Captive University: The Sovietization of East German, Czech and
Polish
Higher Education (2000), which won the 2001 George Beer Award of the American
Historical Association; and co-editor of Universities Under Dictatorship
(2005).

Review, the Nation, the London Review of Books, and Commonweal.

CFP: Edited Volume(s) on International Anthropology of the United States
Apologies for Cross-Postings:
Call for Papers - Edited volume(s) on the International Anthropology of
the U.S.
GOAL:
​We are working to publish an edited volume (or even volumes) on the
international
anthropology of the U.S. and are looking for possible inclusions.
RATIONALE:
​For several years now, a group of anthropologists located outside
the US have come
together with US-based anthropologists to share and discuss their field work
experiences and research - their study of and in the US. In their effort to
cultivate "the development of a different kind of international
scholarship on the
United States, one that truly decenters U.S. scholarship while challenging
it with
new formulations, new questions, and new critiques" ("Rethinking American
Studies in
a Critical Internationalism," American Quarterly 1996:484), Virginia
Dominguez and
Jane Desmond, co-founded the International Forum for US Studies (IFUSS)
from which
has emerged the "international anthropology of the United States." For
further
information about IFUSS, please check the website:
ips.illinois.edu/ifuss/<http://ips.illinois.edu/ifuss/>
​In our effort to "reconceive of the U.S., or the more metaphorical
'America,' as a
complex imaginary" ("Towards a prismatic 'American Studies'," Safundi
2007:8) we
have gathered together research ranging from the study of the media and
politics to
migration, dance and performance, sexual identity, activism, and the
practices of
everyday life. In our work, "'America' is not a thing, a place, an idea,
or a
political 'entity.' It is, rather, all of these and the multiple and
conflicting
ways in which it is imagined, i.e., called into being, named, understood,
consumed,
produced, used, and experienced by individuals, groups, and states around
the world"
(ibid.).
​To date, those directly engaged in these conversations are
professors Helena Wulff
(Sweden), Ulf Hannerz (Sweden), Moshe Shokeid (Israel), Jasmin Habib
(Canada), and
Keiko Ikeda (Japan). While the range of the research is wide,
surprisingly little
attention has been focused on the study of the US by those located outside
its
borders. In this call for papers, we seek to fill that gap by bringing to
greater
focus empirical as well as theoretical implications for anthropological
research and
practice.
SUBMISSION, DEADLINE, AND CONTACT DETAILS:
​If you have conducted anthropological fieldwork in the US, and you
are interested
in contributing to a one- or two- volume publication on the international
anthropology of the US, please send us an electronic copy of your 25-30 page
double-spaced paper by February 1, 2012. All papers should be sent to

Call for Abstracts: York U Anthropology Graduate Conference March 9, 2013
*York University's Social Anthropology Graduate Association (SAGA) is proud
to present:*
*Risky Business: An Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference on Risk,
Recovery, and Relapse*
When: Friday/Saturday, March 8-9, 2013
Keynote Speaker: Prof. Karen
Ho
<http://anthropology.umn.edu/people/facultyprofile.php?UID=karenho>
(University of Minnesota), author of
*Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street* (2009)
With the current attention given to global crises, including economic,
political, cultural, and environmental, anthropologists are exploring how
different actors and concepts move and engage with various articulations of
risk, recovery, and potential relapse, in an attempt to uncover how the
"severe social dislocations social scientists have usually attributed to
global capitalism at large…[have] been actualized" (Ho 2009:4). Following
the movement of risk and response through multiple spaces, times, and
scales, anthropologists and other scholars explore approaches to
production, resistance, and regeneration. This has led us to ask:
What is risk? Who is at risk and when is this acceptable? How is it known
and negotiated in or across different contexts and moments? How do you
encounter it in your work? How do people recover from the aftereffects of
risk? How does risk perpetuate, trouble or disrupt the everyday? How do the
interstices between risk, recovery and relapse speak to, or present
opportunities, lessons, or (im)possibilities?
The Social Anthropology Graduates' Association (SAGA) cordially invites
fellow graduate students (who are at any stage in their graduate career),
activists, and applied scholars to participate in an interdisciplinary and
interactive forum on Saturday, March 9, 2013 at York University in Toronto,
Canada.
For this conference, we welcome academic papers, panels, and alternative
visual media presentations that explore these questions. Possible topics
include, but are not limited to, investigations of:
- Collective and individualized risks: the ways in which bodies show or
cope with risk and recovery; attitudes toward risk, recovery, relapse;
experiences of embodied risks; cross-cultural readings of risk and
contextualized responses at the levels of the individual, community, and
nation;
- Political and economic processes: social mobilizations, revolution,
citizen responses, and government policies in response to risk and
relapse;
the outcomes of neoliberal interventions in global flows;
- Ecological concerns: reactions to environmental disasters, tourism,
changes in land use and livelihood; food production and security;
- Methodologies: ethical considerations of research, when things "go
wrong" in the field, and disciplines in crisis.
To propose a paper, panel, or non-traditional submission (past examples
include: films, movement workshops, and original role playing games):
Please submit a cover page with your name, institutional affiliation,
contact information (mailing address, phone number and email), and abstract
(maximum of 250 words) or sample (for non-traditional submissions). Panels
should be limited to 3 papers and a discussant's presentation (or 4 papers
without a discussant). Organized panels should submit the panel abstract
(250 words) and individual paper abstracts to the conference in a single
submission. All individual presentations will be limited to 15 minutes.
Please note that a conference fee of $20 will apply to all participants.
Submission deadline for abstracts is December 7, 2012. Please send
submissions and all other inquiries to annualsagaconference@gmail.com.
Successful submissions may be assembled for publication.

Cascadia Seminar Dec 1 2012 CFP Deadline
The Cascadia Seminar: Ethnographic
Adventures in Medical Anthropology
www.sfu.ca/cascadia
April 12-14, 2013
at Simon Fraser
University
Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada
The Cascadia Seminar is an experiment in creating a new kind
of intellectual space for medical anthropology. The Cascadia
Seminar is a small, intimate, high-interest, low-cost weekend
conference organized collaboratively by medical
anthropologists on faculty at a number of different
universities and colleges in the US Pacific Northwest and
British Columbia
(the Cascadia region). Simon
Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia, will
host the second Cascadia Seminar. The first was in March
2011 at the University
of Washington in Seattle.
Medical anthropologists (from everywhere) are invited to
submit abstracts. Please send your abstract (350 words
maximum) by December 1, 2012 as an electronic attachment to
cascadia@sfu.ca.
Abstracts will be reviewed by a committee
of medical anthropologists on faculty at our various
institutions, all of whom also plan to attend. The committee
will select seven abstracts, seeking papers that promise to be
ethnographically rich and intellectually exciting. Decisions
will be
announced by December 31, 2012.
The Cascadia Seminar will begin the evening
of Friday April 12, 2013 with a keynote address by Margaret
Lock (McGill
University).
Four papers will be presented on Saturday April 13, and three
on Sunday April 14, with no concurrent sessions. Each paper
presenter will have forty minutes to present a substantial,
well worked-out paper, with ample time for lively discussion.
All participants will attend all papers, and optional no-host
meals together will offer additional opportunities for
conversation. Coffee and snacks will be provided.
The conference will be free of charge,
though preregistration will be required in order to keep
numbers manageable. Some people may want to stay with family
or friends in the Vancouver area; a block of rooms will also
be available at a reduced rate at a nearby hotel. For more
information, go to www.sfu.ca/cascadia.

Pacific Women in Business Conference
Pacificregional network on gender-based violence marks 20 years
-For more information click:
http://www.pina.com.fj/index.php?p=pacnews&m=read&o=60655647750a16745babda7f680e5d
NADI, Fiji (12 November 2012) – Twentyyears after a handful of women from
around the
Pacific first gathered in Suvato discuss the problem of sexual and
gender-based
violence, the sixthquadrennial regional meeting to discuss the issue was
opened in
Nadi today byAustralia's Global Ambassador for Women and Girls, Penny
Williams.
Organised by the Fiji Women's CrisisCentre, the four-yearly meeting brings
together
members of the Pacific Women'sNetwork Against Violence Against Women
established in
1992 to better coordinatethe efforts to eliminate sexual and gender-based
violence.
This year's regional meeting is aimed atexamining ways of responding to and
preventing violence against women andgirls, as well as how these women and
girls can
access justice.
More than 40 participants from as far asBougainville in Papua New Guinea,
and the
Marshall Islands in the northernPacific are gathered at the Novotel hotel
in Nadi to
discuss the progress madein eliminating sexual and gender-based violence,
the work
being done and whatthe tasks that remain.
Opening the five-day meeting this morning,Ms Williams said: "We're still
here,
talking, because the problem of violenceagainst women is still very much
with us. We
can only hope that one day we haveother, more uplifting reasons to gather.
"But while the problems remain, thesolutions, I believe, are expanding and
gathering
momentum," said Ms Williams,Australia's first Global Ambassador for Women
and Girls.
Ms Williams highlighted Australia's effortsto eliminate violence against
women and
girls in the region, as well a newinitiative that commits up to AU$320
million
(FJ$589m) over 10 years to helpshift entrenched barriers to women's
social, economic
and politicalparticipation across Pacific Island Forum countries.
Called the Pacific Women Shaping PacificDevelopment Initiative, it builds
on the
sustained work of many Pacific womenand organisations to provide much needed
services for women affected byviolence and to advocate for police and service
delivery reform.
Ms Williams said: "The initiativerecognises that issues of political
empowerment,
economic empowerment andviolence are interconnected. Because if we are
serious about
securing humanrights and national security, we must be serious about stopping
violence.
"If we are serious about achieving genderequity and the empowerment of
women and
girls, we must be serious aboutstopping violence."
Fiji Women's Crisis Centre CoordinatorShamima Ali recalled that the first
Pacific
regional meeting on violenceagainst women was organised by FWCC in Suva in
1992
involving women from 15Pacific Islands countries.
"Then there were only two establishedcentres: the FWCC and the Punaga
Tauturu in the
Cook Islands. The network wasestablished then and has endured, and now
there are
nearly 40 programmesaddressing violence against women and girls in the
network," Ms
Ali said.
"When we met in 1992, it was the first timeever Pacific women had met to
discuss
this tragic phenomenon – violence againstwomen, rape, child sexual abuse,

"We realised then, after two weeks of talking,discussing, crying and
sharing, just
how big and prevalent this problem was.What was more tragic was the high

NADI, Fiji (12 November 2012) – Twentyyears after a handful of women from
around the
Pacific first gathered in Suvato discuss the problem of sexual and
gender-based
violence, the sixthquadrennial regional meeting to discuss the issue was
opened in
Nadi today byAustralia's Global Ambassador for Women and Girls, Penny
Williams.
Organised by the Fiji Women's CrisisCentre, the four-yearly meeting brings
together
members of the Pacific Women'sNetwork Against Violence Against Women
established in
1992 to better coordinatethe efforts to eliminate sexual and gender-based
violence.
This year's regional meeting is aimed atexamining ways of responding to and
preventing violence against women andgirls, as well as how these women and
girls can
access justice.
More than 40 participants from as far asBougainville in Papua New Guinea,
and the
Marshall Islands in the northernPacific are gathered at the Novotel hotel
in Nadi to
discuss the progress madein eliminating sexual and gender-based violence,
the work
being done and whatthe tasks that remain.
Opening the five-day meeting this morning,Ms Williams said: "We're still
here,
talking, because the problem of violenceagainst women is still very much
with us. We
can only hope that one day we haveother, more uplifting reasons to gather.
"But while the problems remain, thesolutions, I believe, are expanding and
gathering
momentum," said Ms Williams,Australia's first Global Ambassador for Women
and Girls.
Ms Williams highlighted Australia's effortsto eliminate violence against
women and
girls in the region, as well a newinitiative that commits up to AU$320
million
(FJ$589m) over 10 years to helpshift entrenched barriers to women's
social, economic
and politicalparticipation across Pacific Island Forum countries.
Called the Pacific Women Shaping PacificDevelopment Initiative, it builds
on the
sustained work of many Pacific womenand organisations to provide much needed
services for women affected byviolence and to advocate for police and service
delivery reform.
Ms Williams said: "The initiativerecognises that issues of political
empowerment,
economic empowerment andviolence are interconnected. Because if we are
serious about
securing humanrights and national security, we must be serious about stopping
violence.
"If we are serious about achieving genderequity and the empowerment of
women and
girls, we must be serious aboutstopping violence."
Fiji Women's Crisis Centre CoordinatorShamima Ali recalled that the first
Pacific
regional meeting on violenceagainst women was organised by FWCC in Suva in
1992
involving women from 15Pacific Islands countries.
"Then there were only two establishedcentres: the FWCC and the Punaga
Tauturu in the
Cook Islands. The network wasestablished then and has endured, and now
there are
nearly 40 programmesaddressing violence against women and girls in the
network," Ms
Ali said.
"When we met in 1992, it was the first timeever Pacific women had met to
discuss
this tragic phenomenon – violence againstwomen, rape, child sexual abuse,
and sexual
harassment. Nearly every woman inthat meeting had experienced one or
another form of
violence, some stillsuffering.
"We realised then, after two weeks of talking,discussing, crying and
sharing, just
how big and prevalent this problem was.What was more tragic was the high
levels of
acceptance in our societies of thistorture of women and girls, and the
lack of
response by the state; the use ofreligion and culture to deny women
justice and

"While we still have high levels ofgender-based violence in our societies,
a lot of
work is being done toeliminate it. And there are new, unexpected voices
