Critical Hip-Hop Ill-Literacies: Remixing Culture, Language, and the
Politics of
Boundaries in Education
By Awad Ibrahim, PhD
It is high time we re-thought our notion of literacy! At a time when
education is
becoming highly standardized and test-oriented, and language is becoming
normative
and prescriptively grammatical, I argue that the hip hop generation is
"grammaticalizing" both language and culture. They are flipping the script
and
standardizing their own language, where ill and sick become "sensational" and
"skillful" and where "Damn, that cat is ill!" means "That poet is incredibly
skilled." I argue that if a language teacher does not know this, he or she
needs to
become literate—not the other way around. Using DJ-ing as a metaphor and
re-mixing
as an analytic vehicle, I attempt to rethink the concept of literacy through
"ill-literacy" and the boundaries of education through hip hop culture and
language.
Welcome to the poetics of critical hip hop ill-literacies!

CASCA 2013: CFP - Anthropology and the Environment - *deadline extended to the 8th of March*
**deadline extended to the 8th of March**
Collectively, humanity will face severe environmental challenges over the
coming decades that will tax our capacity to adapt and respond. In the
context of climate change and environmental degradation, the insights
provided by environmental anthropology will take on added importance in
the policy discourse. CASCA may play a valuable role by providing a forum
for anthropologists who concern themselves with the relations between
humans and their environment and with politicizing the study of
environmental issues. We wish to invite papers that are concerned with the
problem of environmental activism, the politics of climate change and the
capacity for obscuring or promoting local discourses and perspectives. The
goal of this session is to bring together scholarship from a range of
field sites in order to discover the common issues that underpin
environmental anthropology in a modern policy context, with the goal of
encouraging on-going discourse within CASCA.
Please submit 250 word abstracts and contact information to Lorne
Holyoak at lorne.holyoak@swc-cfc.gc.ca by 8 March 2013.

CASCA 2013: CFP - Food and Power
We have gotten some very interesting responses to our call for
participants, and we hope to further expand the panel.
If interested in joining this session contact Stephanie Hobbis at
steph.hobbis@gmail.com and Christine Jourdan at
christine.jourdan@concordia.ca
Please send us, as soon as possible (the CASCA registration deadline, March
1st, is approaching quickly) the following information: A working title for
your paper, an abstract (150 words) and details of your affiliation.
*Panel format:*
For this panel we are not looking for (nearly) finished papers; instead we
think of this session as a 'brain storming session,' or an informal
sharing
of ideas to determine common ground and concrete directions for further
inquiry. The intention is to continue this panel at next year's CASCA
Conference with finished/ publishable papers (for a special edition of a
journal or an edited volume).
If you are interested, please join us for this informal session. The
session will be structured as follows: After a few words of introduction
to
the topic of Food and Power, each participant will be invited to speak for
5 to 10 minutes on the paper they could write. In a second part of the
session, we will define the themes around which the session might be
organized during CASCA 2014.
*Panel description:*
In this session we intend to explore anthropological approaches to the
relationship between food and power. The importance of food in our daily
lives has been recognized widely, yet power relationships have largely
been
inferred rather than placed at the heart of our analysis. In particular,
there is a need to develop a better understanding of the processes,
settings and people that exert control through the manipulation
(intentionally or not) of food. Manipulation may occur through withdrawal,
restriction, giving, or simple control over menus (etc.). How do these
choices reflect in the relationships between those who hold control, and
those who are' at their mercy'? More concretely, we may ask diverse
questions such as: What kind of food choices do institutions (prisons,
schools, hospitals etc.) make and what are the power relationships implied
therein? To what extent and how do dietary recommendation or nutrition
guidelines assert power over consumers (and citizens)? What is the power
of
the food critics or of the sommelier, or the cook? And what about the lack
of power of the hungry and the power of donor agencies? Our aim is to
advance anthropological research into this relationship recognizing that
food closely intersects with our understandings of self, and our
positioning in a given context.
With best wishes,
Stephanie

Extension CFP CASCA 2013 - Ethnographies of Democratic Deficits
The deadline to submit an abstract for the panel "Ethnographies of
Democratic Deficits" has been extended to February 28th, 2013. Please see
below for details.
Call for Papers CASCA 2013: Ethnographies of Democratic Deficits
Recent and long-running social justice movements ranging from pro-choice
campaigns and anti-austerity protests to Occupy, One Billion Rising and
Idle No
More all show how formal civil and political liberties may coexist with acute
socioeconomic injustices in ostensibly democratic states. Meanwhile, as
events
in Europe dramatically demonstrate, elected governments are frequently
answerable less to their own citizens than to such international
organizations
as the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank.
We are seeking papers that explore such inequities and various organized
responses to them, treating them as diagnostic of the deficits of democratic
citizenship in specific contexts, even as their genesis cannot be limited
to a
single scale. Possible themes include, but are not limited to, the following:
• "Think Globally/Act Locally"?: Challenges posed by the need to work
politically at multiple scales, in a world where democratic citizenship and
human rights are empowered primarily at the nation-state level while capital
operates "beyond borders";
• Struggles fought over and through the meaning of democracy;
• Case studies in disjunctive democracy: Explorations of Teresa Caldeira and
James Holston's argument that all actually-existing "democracies" are
more-or-less disjunctive in the sense that the enabling conditions of
democratic citizenship extend beyond the realm of electoral politics to
encompass such issues as bodily security and social welfare;
• The displacement of activist politics into the legal realm (for example,
through human rights cases), with attendant risks of depoliticization;
• Problems of governmentality: How does power work through the language and
machinery of democracy?;
• The uneasy relationship between democracy and capitalism in liberal states;
• How anthropologists might usefully contribute to these debates.
Please submit your abstracts (150 words) to Robin Whitaker (robinw@mun.ca)
and/or Josh Lalor (jd.lalor@mun.ca) by February 25th, 2013.
Thank you.

Last call for "Disruption" at CASCA 2013
Please contact me by Wednesday if you wish to join in!
CFP: CASCA 2013: "Disruption"
Breaches of the familiar. We all experience them. Some of us cause them. A
protest blockade of a road on the way to work makes us late. A sickness
knocks us out of commission for days. A disaster forces us to evacuate our
homes and communities. We join a protest that occupies a shopping mall for
a few hours. A Tri-Council declares our research to be no longer fundable
under its mandate. The papers in this panel explore the experience of
disruption in all its dimensions, the many ways in which breaches of the
familiar create points of tension that explode into our subjective and
intersubjective lives. While we take as a starting point Gay Becker's
"Disrupted Lives: How People Create Meaning in a Chaotic World," which
highlights the cultural more so than psychological experience of
disruption, we also bring back into the discussion recent work in the
anthropology of experience that creates space for a person-centered
psychological and affective understanding of the meaning and experience of
disruption.
If interested in joining this session please contact Jim Waldram at

Extension of CFP CASCA 2013: "Oiling the Record: Contestations in global regimes of energy and sustainable futures."
Extension of call for papers:
CFP for CASCA 2013: "Oiling the Record: Contestations in global
regimes of energy and sustainable futures."
We have extended the deadline for abstracts for our panel to the 28
February 2013.
Please refer to the description below for panel abstract and contact details.
CFP for CASCA 2013: "Oiling the Record: Contestations in global
regimes of
energy and sustainable futures."
Perhaps no other domain of social, economic and political processes is
currently more hotly debated than that of energy. The science and
advocacy
of climate change has put increasing pressure on governments and
businesses to rethink and retool our access to abundant energy - a
resource which our current societies as well as anticipated future ones
crucially depend upon. Arguably, there has been a shift of direction in
governmental policy and corporate public relations towards the
'greening'
of energy. In reality, the world has inherited path-dependent
infrastructures, bestowed on us by policy decisions taken in the past.
These established channels of energy production, distribution and
consumption are reliant on oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy, and
seem to
be impervious to change at the required pace. The German Energiewende or
'energy turn', for example, aims for 80% of national power supply from
renewable energies by 2050, but the powerful lobby of Germany's energy
corporations is resisting change (Kemfert 2013). In the United States, a
shale oil boom boosted by new technologies of extraction has resulted in
the highest rate of oil production in 20 years. Yet, accustomed
energy-related claims and practices have come under fire. In the
oil-sands
of Alberta, the official government and corporate records of
sustainability, environmental harm and other impacts have been massively
challenged by First Nations, ecologists and others. The Keystone
pipeline
project is again facing fierce criticism in the United States. The
Fukushima disaster in Japan has irrevocably altered the official
record of
nuclear energy's safety. As the economy of energy has become a globally
contested arena, what are the opposing logics within the current regimes
of energy? What can inquiry into the business, governance and study of
energy tell us about the paradoxical nature of change and permanence
within this crucial domain? Who are the various heterogeneous actors
within business, government, academia and the wider public? What are
their
preferences and strategic actions towards certain modes of energy
production, distribution and consumption?
This panel explores official and unofficial records of oil and gas
development in Canada, Saudi Arabia and beyond. Energy futures,
corporate
practices, energy production and consumption, social contestations, land
use and sustainability are themes explored by the panel. We are seeking
papers from around the world, which engage with particular instances of
how existing regimes of energy are challenged and maintained. How do
ecologists, climate scientists, innovative technologies, government
agencies, energy corporations and various other kinds of social actors
affect the knowledge and practice of energy production, distribution
and/or consumption? What are the competing roles of control of critical
resources, value appropriation and sustainable futures? How do national
interests interact with those of transnational communities and
multinational corporations in this field of tension? What kinds of
temporalities and metaphors are invoked in the course of contesting
constraints and defending them?
Possible topic for papers could include:
- Corporate and governmental strategy and action
- Challenges to these strategies and actions
- Changes to economies of energy
- Impact of innovative technologies on existing energy regimes
- Social outcomes of changes in energy production, distribution
and/or consumption
- The effects of extraction industries and energy production on
land and land use
- Temporalities and metaphors in contesting/defending
regimes and
economies of energy
- Any other related topic

CFP for CASCA 2013: "Oiling the Record: Contestations in global
regimes of energy and sustainable futures."
We have extended the deadline for abstracts for our panel to the 28
February 2013.
Please refer to the description below for panel abstract and contact details.
CFP for CASCA 2013: "Oiling the Record: Contestations in global
regimes of
energy and sustainable futures."
Perhaps no other domain of social, economic and political processes is
currently more hotly debated than that of energy. The science and
advocacy
of climate change has put increasing pressure on governments and
businesses to rethink and retool our access to abundant energy - a
resource which our current societies as well as anticipated future ones
crucially depend upon. Arguably, there has been a shift of direction in
governmental policy and corporate public relations towards the
'greening'
of energy. In reality, the world has inherited path-dependent
infrastructures, bestowed on us by policy decisions taken in the past.
These established channels of energy production, distribution and
consumption are reliant on oil, gas, coal and nuclear energy, and
seem to
be impervious to change at the required pace. The German Energiewende or
'energy turn', for example, aims for 80% of national power supply from
renewable energies by 2050, but the powerful lobby of Germany's energy
corporations is resisting change (Kemfert 2013). In the United States, a
shale oil boom boosted by new technologies of extraction has resulted in
the highest rate of oil production in 20 years. Yet, accustomed
energy-related claims and practices have come under fire. In the
oil-sands
of Alberta, the official government and corporate records of
sustainability, environmental harm and other impacts have been massively
challenged by First Nations, ecologists and others. The Keystone
pipeline
project is again facing fierce criticism in the United States. The
Fukushima disaster in Japan has irrevocably altered the official
record of
nuclear energy's safety. As the economy of energy has become a globally
contested arena, what are the opposing logics within the current regimes
of energy? What can inquiry into the business, governance and study of
energy tell us about the paradoxical nature of change and permanence
within this crucial domain? Who are the various heterogeneous actors
within business, government, academia and the wider public? What are
their
preferences and strategic actions towards certain modes of energy
production, distribution and consumption?
This panel explores official and unofficial records of oil and gas
development in Canada, Saudi Arabia and beyond. Energy futures,
corporate
practices, energy production and consumption, social contestations, land
use and sustainability are themes explored by the panel. We are seeking
papers from around the world, which engage with particular instances of
how existing regimes of energy are challenged and maintained. How do
ecologists, climate scientists, innovative technologies, government
agencies, energy corporations and various other kinds of social actors
affect the knowledge and practice of energy production, distribution
and/or consumption? What are the competing roles of control of critical
resources, value appropriation and sustainable futures? How do national
interests interact with those of transnational communities and
multinational corporations in this field of tension? What kinds of
temporalities and metaphors are invoked in the course of contesting
constraints and defending them?
Possible topic for papers could include:
- Corporate and governmental strategy and action
- Challenges to these strategies and actions
- Changes to economies of energy
- Impact of innovative technologies on existing energy regimes
- Social outcomes of changes in energy production, distribution
and/or consumption
- The effects of extraction industries and energy production on
land and land use
- Temporalities and metaphors in contesting/defending
regimes and
economies of energy
- Any other related topic
Please submit abstracts of no more than 250 words, along with your
contact
information (name, institutional affiliation, department, and email
address) to Timm Lau (King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals) at
tlau@kfupm.edu.sa<mailto:tlau@kfupm.edu.sa> or Caura Wood (York

MPH Practicum Award Program | Programme de bourses de stages pratiques à la MSP
Le français suit
Dr. James Rossiter Master's of Public Health (MPH) Practicum Award Program
The CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health, in partnership
with the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) - Office of Public
Health Practice, is pleased to announce the launch of the Dr. James
Rossiter Master's of Public Health (MPH) Practicum Award Program.
Public health workers in Canada have traditionally had limited access
to dedicated education and continuing education programs. However,
this situation has dramatically changed over the last several years.
Since 2004, we have seen a significant increase in the number of
Master's of Public Health programs, which emphasize the application of
public health knowledge to policy and practice. This practicum award
program therefore aims to support the growing professional public
health infrastructure and its students. Canadian universities have
strong potential to contribute to health human resources capacity in
Canada by using resources to provide quality training to adequately
prepare individuals for public health practice. Furthermore,
supporting Master's of Public Health students emerged as an ongoing
priority identified through evaluation and consultations with MPH
program leaders.
The Dr. James Rossiter MPH Practicum Award Program will provide a
number of Master's practicum awards based on recommendations made by
Canadian Institutions offering a MPH program. By "MPH program" we mean
primarily course-oriented programs that include a practicum and are
intended to prepare graduates for the practice of public health.
Institutions must undergo a review (conducted by CIHR) to determine
the eligibility of their MPH Program, in order to receive vouchers.
The funding opportunity is posted on the CIHR website and the deadline
for applications is March 15, 2013.
Institutions interested in applying for vouchers should direct any
inquiries to Kim Gaudreau at ipphfunding@cihr-irsc.gc.ca.

Programme de bourses de stages pratiques à la MSP Dr. James Rossiter
L'Institut de la santé publique et des populations des IRSC en
partenariat avec le Bureau de la pratique de santé publique de l'ASPS
a le plaisir d'annoncer le lancement du Programme de bourse de stages
pratiques à la maîtrise en santé publique (MSP) Dr. James Rossiter.
Il a toujours été difficile pour les travailleurs de la santé publique
au Canada d'avoir accès aux programmes spécialisés de formation et
d'éducation permanente. Toutefois, la situation a changé
considérablement ces dernières années. Depuis 2004, le nombre de
programmes de maîtrise en santé publique a augmenté de façon
importante. Ces programmes mettent l'accent sur l'application de
connaissances en santé publique dans le domaine des politiques et de
la pratique. Ce programme de bourses de stages pratiques vise donc à
appuyer l'expansion de l'infrastructure professionnelle de la santé
publique et ses étudiants. Les universités du Canada peuvent vraiment
contribuer à la capacité en ressources humaines du secteur de la santé
au Canada en utilisant des ressources pour offrir de la formation de
qualité à des personnes bien préparées pour pratiquer dans ce domaine.
Le soutien des étudiants de maîtrise de la santé publique est devenu,
à la suite d'évaluations ainsi que des consultations avec les chefs
des programmes de MSP.
Le Programme de bourses de stages pratiques à la MSP Dr. James
Rossiter offrira des bourses à la maîtrise d'après les recommandations
présentées par des établissements canadiens qui offrent un programme
de MSP. Par « programme de MSP », on entend principalement les
programmes de cours qui comprennent un stage pratique et visent à
préparer les diplômés à pratiquer dans le domaine de la santé
publique. Les Institutions doivent passer un examen (effectué par les
IRSC) pour déterminer l'admissibilité de leur programme de MSP, afin
de recevoir des avis de parrainage.
La possibilité de financement est affichée sur le site web des IRSC et
la date limite de présentation des demandes est le 15 mars 2013.

Patient-Oriented Initiative - Call for Expressions of Interest
The Graham Boeckh Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health
Research are pleased to launch a call for expressions of interest through
their partnership, the Transformational Research in Adolescent Mental
Health, for an upcoming research network.
The goal of the network is to unite patient and family representatives,
policy makers, researchers, service providers, community organizations and
other appropriate stakeholders. Together, they will act collectively to
improve, within five years, Canada's ability to identify young people with
mental illness, and improve the timeliness and quality of care provided to
them.
For more information, visit the website.

CASCA 2013: CFP - Food and Power
Food and Power
Organized by Stephanie Hobbis (EHESS-Concordia University) and
Christine Jourdan (Concordia University)
For this panel we are not looking for (nearly) finished papers;
instead we think of this session as a 'brain storming session,' or an
informal sharing of ideas to determine common ground and concrete
directions for further inquiry. The intention is to continue this
panel at next year's CASCA Conference with finished/ publishable papers.
In this session we intend to explore anthropological approaches to the
relationship between food and power. The importance of food in our
daily lives has been recognized widely, yet power relationships have
largely been inferred rather than placed at the heart of our analysis.
In particular, there is a need to develop a better understanding of
the processes, settings and people that exert control through the
manipulation (intentionally or not) of food. Manipulation may occur
through withdrawal, restriction, giving, or simple control over menus
(etc.). How do these choices reflect in the relationships between
those who hold control, and those who are' at their mercy'? More
concretely, we may ask diverse questions such as: What kind of food
choices do institutions (prisons, schools, hospitals etc.) make and
what are the power relationships implied therein? To what extent and
how do dietary recommendation or nutrition guidelines assert power
over consumers (and citizens)? What is the power of the food critics
or of the sommelier, or the cook? And what about the lack of power of
the hungry and the power of donor agencies? Our aim is to advance
anthropological research into this relationship recognizing that food
closely intersects with our understandings of self, and our
positioning in a given context.
If you are interested, please join us for this informal session. The
session will be structured as follows: After a few words of
introduction to the topic of Food and Power, each participant will be
invited to speak for 5 to 10 minutes on the paper they could write. In
a second part of the session, we will define the themes around which
the session might be organized during CASCA 2014.
If interested in joining this session please contact Stephanie Hobbis
at steph.hobbis@gmail.com and Christine Jourdan at
christine.jourdan@concordia.ca.
Organized by Stephanie Hobbis (EHESS-Concordia University) and
Christine Jourdan (Concordia University)
For this panel we are not looking for (nearly) finished papers;
instead we think of this session as a 'brain storming session,' or an
informal sharing of ideas to determine common ground and concrete
directions for further inquiry. The intention is to continue this
panel at next year's CASCA Conference with finished/ publishable papers.
In this session we intend to explore anthropological approaches to the
relationship between food and power. The importance of food in our
daily lives has been recognized widely, yet power relationships have
largely been inferred rather than placed at the heart of our analysis.
In particular, there is a need to develop a better understanding of
the processes, settings and people that exert control through the
manipulation (intentionally or not) of food. Manipulation may occur
through withdrawal, restriction, giving, or simple control over menus
(etc.). How do these choices reflect in the relationships between
those who hold control, and those who are' at their mercy'? More
concretely, we may ask diverse questions such as: What kind of food
choices do institutions (prisons, schools, hospitals etc.) make and
what are the power relationships implied therein? To what extent and
how do dietary recommendation or nutrition guidelines assert power
over consumers (and citizens)? What is the power of the food critics
or of the sommelier, or the cook? And what about the lack of power of
the hungry and the power of donor agencies? Our aim is to advance
anthropological research into this relationship recognizing that food
closely intersects with our understandings of self, and our
positioning in a given context.
If you are interested, please join us for this informal session. The
session will be structured as follows: After a few words of
introduction to the topic of Food and Power, each participant will be
invited to speak for 5 to 10 minutes on the paper they could write. In
a second part of the session, we will define the themes around which
the session might be organized during CASCA 2014.

CASCA 2013: CFP - Anthropology and the Environment
Collectively, humanity will face severe environmental challenges over the
coming decades that will tax our capacity to adapt and respond. In the
context of climate change and environmental degradation, the insights
provided by environmental anthropology will take on added importance in
the policy discourse. CASCA may play a valuable role by providing a forum
for anthropologists who concern themselves with the relations between
humans and their environment and with politicizing the study of
environmental issues. We wish to invite papers that are concerned with the
problem of environmental activism, the politics of climate change and the
capacity for obscuring or promoting local discourses and perspectives. The
goal of this session is to bring together scholarship from a range of
field sites in order to discover the common issues that underpin
environmental anthropology in a modern policy context, with the goal of
encouraging on-going discourse within CASCA.
Please submit 250 word abstracts and contact information to Lorne
Holyoak at lorne.holyoak@swc-cfc.gc.ca by 27 February 2013.

Urban South Pacific: CFP for CASCA 2013
CFP for CASCA 2013
The urban South Pacific: new issues, new perspectives.
The urban South Pacific is a not a common territory in anthropology.
Cities in Australia and New Zealand face challenges seen elsewhere;
population increases, mobility issues, a rapid aging population, and
increasingly dense centers. But the urban South Pacific has challenges of
its own (Aboriginal relations, climate change, freshwater shortage, and
regional city growth, among other things) that are dealt with in a very
unique way with consideration to the historical context and environment
(city governance, corporate involvement in city planning, role in the
Pacific Rim, etc.). We wish to explore and underline the complexity of
various urban themes, such as Aboriginal issues, neoliberalism,
interactions in public spaces, new ways of being, governance, and
immigration. This session aims at reuniting works on contemporary topics
related to Southern Pacific urbanites, and to contribute to enlarging our
urban anthropology research and perspective.
Please submit 250 word abstracts and contact information to Nathalie
Boucher at nathalie.boucher@uwa.edu.au<mailto:nathalie.boucher@uwa.edu.au>

Holocaust
Reply-To: information@ushmm.org
SYMPOSIUM
New Research and Resources on Children and the Holocaust
FEBRUARY 26–27, 2013
Helena Rubinstein Auditorium
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Ten years after the first conference on the topic convened by the Center
for
Advanced Holocaust Studies, this symposium explores the evolution of the
study of
children and the Holocaust. These presentations draw upon 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.
Susan Rubin Suleiman, C. Douglas Dillon Professor of the Civilization of
France
and Professor of Comparative Literature, Harvard University, will deliver the
keynote address, "Orphans of the Shoah and Jewish Identity in Postwar
France."
This symposium is made possible through the generosity of the Gilbert
and Eleanor
Kraus Fund for the Study of the Fate and Rescue of Children.
A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum
inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, prevent
genocide, and
promote human dignity. Federal support guarantees the Museum's permanent
place on
the National Mall, and its far-reaching educational programs and global
impact are
made possible by generous donors.
