____________________________________________________________
The Women's Health International Organization (WHOI) presents a
film-screening of Engel Entertainment's Award Winning film A Walk to
Beautiful. This lyrical and thought-provoking film documents, the
trials, tribulations, and triumphs of several Ethiopian girls and
women who suffer from obstetric fistula. This disease is a
childbirth-derived injury that affects the physical and mental health
of two million women in Africa and Asia. Fistula is the Latin word for
'hole.' This situation occurs in women having prolonged labour in
which a hole or puncture is made in the bladder and, or, rectal wall,
which causes the woman to become incontinent. Known as the 'most
horrific affliction known to humankind,' obstetric fistula was
eradicated in North America in 1925 as a result of the simple and
effective use of caesarian section.
WHOI was founded by teenage health advocate, youth leader, and
community developer, Habiba Cooper Diallo to raise awareness about
obstetric fistula and to assist in its eradication. The screening of
this film is a fund-raiser for the fistula hospital in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia. WHOI's mandate is to empower women of Africa and the African
Diaspora through health.
Habiba Cooper Diallo is a student of Halifax West High School.
Moreover, she is the winner of Halifax's Zonta Young Women in
Leadership award (2013) Award, and the Lion's Club Halifax Chapter
winning public speaking for her discourse on obstetric fistula (2011).
Kindly support WHOI at this film-screening event. Details are below.
Co-sponsors: African Diaspora Association of the Maritimes (ADAM),
Imhotep Legacy Academy (Dalhousie University), NSPIRG, Black Student
Advisory Committee (Dalhousie University).

Latin American Graduate Research Reviews/ Rese=?iso-8859-1?Q?=F1as_de_Investigaci=F3n_de_Posgrado_en_Am=E9rica?= Latina (LAGRR/RIPAL)
We would like to invite you to participate in Latin American Graduate
Research Reviews/ Reseñas de Investigación de Posgrado en América Latina
(LAGRR/RIPAL). LARGG/RIPAL is devoted to promoting a wider awareness of
in-progress and recently completed student research on Latin America in all
humanities and social science disciplines. We provide the opportunity for
students both to introduce their unpublished doctoral dissertations,
Masters theses, and undergraduate theses to a broader audience as well as
to connect with other student researchers who are pursuing related lines of
investigation.
The success of our project requires the participation of others who believe
in the value of this endeavor. According, we ask that you consider
participating in one or more of the following capacities:
1. Adding a brief description of your in-progress research to our
catalog of "In-Progress Research."
2. Serving as a Reviewer of completed dissertations and theses.
3. Submitting your completed dissertation or thesis for review by
one of our Reviewers.
Our reviews are not critical reviews, but rather they are designed to
highlight and call attention to the innovations being made by students,
with the goal of providing free, positive publicity for the scholarship
that they are completing. Reviews summarize the author's primary arguments
and methodology, situate the work in relation to existing scholarship, and
explain the contributions that the work will make to scholarship on Latin
America; as many of the authors who submit their theses/dissertations are
in the process of converting their works in to publications, our reviews
protect the integrity of submitted work by remaining general in their
summaries and not including detail about specific research sources or data.
Our reviewers are faculty and graduate students from throughout the
Americas, Europe, and the South Pacific. They work in a wide range of
disciplines and have a wide range of research specialties, so scholars with
expertise specific to each dissertation/thesis topic conduct all reviews.
In addition to providing reviews of recently completed graduate research,
LAGRR/RIPAL also provides a separate catalog of information on in-progress
graduate research. Although we do not publish reviews of in-progress
research, this "Catalog of In-Progress Research" contains brief
descriptions of in-progress student research. This catalog allows current
graduate students to publicize their in-progress research and to connect
with other graduate students who are undertaking research on similar topics
or in a similar location.
If you are interested in serving as a Reviewer, adding a brief description
of your in-progress research to our catalog of "In-Progress Research",
and/or submitting your dissertation or thesis for review by one of our
reviewers, please click on the following link to compete a brief academic
profile:

Further information about LAGRR/RIPAL, please visit our website at
http://lagrr.wordpress.com/
or our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/LAGRRRIPAL. We thank you
for your interest in our project and encourage you to share this
information with any colleagues, peers, and students who might also be
interested in this project.

Te queremos invitar a Latin American Graduate Research Reviews/ Reseñas de
Investigación de Posgrado en América Latina (LAGRR/ RIPAL) que se dedica a
promover el trabajo en progreso y el de reciente conclusión de cualquier
disciplina de las humanidades y ciencias sociales en América Latina.
Nuestro sitio da la oportunidad a estudiantes de licenciatura y posgrado a
presentar sus tesis de licenciatura, maestría y doctorado a una audiencia
amplia en la forma de reseñas, así como relacionarse con otros
estudiantes-investigadores con intereses afines.
El éxito de nuestro proyecto requiere la participación de otras personas
que creen en el valor de esta iniciativa. Por esto, te solicitamos que
consideres participar en una o varias de las siguientes categorías:
1. Aportar una breve descripción de tu investigación en progreso
para nuestro catálogo.
2. Ser un(a) reseñador(a) de tesis de licenciatura, maestría y
doctorado.
3. Enviar tu tesis o disertación terminada para ser reseñada.
Nuestras reseñas no son críticas, si no que están diseñadas para resaltar y
publicitar las innovaciones hechas por los tesistas, con el propósito de
proveer publicidad gratuita y positiva al trabajo que completaron. Las
reseñas resumen los argumentos primarios de los autores y su metodología,
ubican el trabajo con relación a otros estudios hechos y explican las
contribuciones que la tesis hace a América Latina. Como muchos de los
autores que mandan sus tesis/ disertaciones están en proceso de convertir
su trabajo en publicaciones, nuestras reseñas protegen la integridad de los
manuscritos que nos envían ya que hablan en términos generales y no se
incluyen detalles específicos de las fuentes o los datos utilizados.
Nuestros reseñadores son profesores y estudiantes de posgrado de América,
Europa y el Pacífico del sur. Su trabajo abarca un amplio espectro de
disciplinas y especialidades, por este motivo los especialistas en un tema
realizan reseñas específicas.
Además de las reseñas de tesis de reciente conclusión, LAGRR/ RIPAL también
proporciona información de las investigaciones en progreso en un catálogo
distinto. Aunque no publicamos reseñas de tesis en progreso, agregamos
estos trabajos a nuestro catálogo de "Investigación en Progreso" que
contiene una breve descripción de la investigación. Este catálogo permite a
los estudiantes de posgrado publicitar su trabajo y ponerse en contacto con
otros estudiantes que están llevando a cabo investigaciones con temas
similares o se encuentran en la misma ubicación geográfica.
Si estás interesado(a) en ser un(a) reseñador(a), agrega una breve
descripción de tu investigación en progreso a nuestro catálogo y/ o también

Research Reviews/ Reseñas de Investigación de Posgrado en América Latina
(LAGRR/RIPAL). LARGG/RIPAL is devoted to promoting a wider awareness of
in-progress and recently completed student research on Latin America in all
humanities and social science disciplines. We provide the opportunity for
students both to introduce their unpublished doctoral dissertations,
Masters theses, and undergraduate theses to a broader audience as well as
to connect with other student researchers who are pursuing related lines of
investigation.
The success of our project requires the participation of others who believe
in the value of this endeavor. According, we ask that you consider
participating in one or more of the following capacities:
1. Adding a brief description of your in-progress research to our
catalog of "In-Progress Research."
2. Serving as a Reviewer of completed dissertations and theses.
3. Submitting your completed dissertation or thesis for review by
one of our Reviewers.
Our reviews are not critical reviews, but rather they are designed to
highlight and call attention to the innovations being made by students,
with the goal of providing free, positive publicity for the scholarship
that they are completing. Reviews summarize the author's primary arguments
and methodology, situate the work in relation to existing scholarship, and
explain the contributions that the work will make to scholarship on Latin
America; as many of the authors who submit their theses/dissertations are
in the process of converting their works in to publications, our reviews
protect the integrity of submitted work by remaining general in their
summaries and not including detail about specific research sources or data.
Our reviewers are faculty and graduate students from throughout the
Americas, Europe, and the South Pacific. They work in a wide range of
disciplines and have a wide range of research specialties, so scholars with
expertise specific to each dissertation/thesis topic conduct all reviews.
In addition to providing reviews of recently completed graduate research,
LAGRR/RIPAL also provides a separate catalog of information on in-progress
graduate research. Although we do not publish reviews of in-progress
research, this "Catalog of In-Progress Research" contains brief
descriptions of in-progress student research. This catalog allows current
graduate students to publicize their in-progress research and to connect
with other graduate students who are undertaking research on similar topics
or in a similar location.
If you are interested in serving as a Reviewer, adding a brief description
of your in-progress research to our catalog of "In-Progress Research",
and/or submitting your dissertation or thesis for review by one of our
reviewers, please click on the following link to compete a brief academic
profile:

Te queremos invitar a Latin American Graduate Research Reviews/ Reseñas de
Investigación de Posgrado en América Latina (LAGRR/ RIPAL) que se dedica a
promover el trabajo en progreso y el de reciente conclusión de cualquier
disciplina de las humanidades y ciencias sociales en América Latina.
Nuestro sitio da la oportunidad a estudiantes de licenciatura y posgrado a
presentar sus tesis de licenciatura, maestría y doctorado a una audiencia
amplia en la forma de reseñas, así como relacionarse con otros
estudiantes-investigadores con intereses afines.
El éxito de nuestro proyecto requiere la participación de otras personas
que creen en el valor de esta iniciativa. Por esto, te solicitamos que
consideres participar en una o varias de las siguientes categorías:
1. Aportar una breve descripción de tu investigación en progreso
para nuestro catálogo.
2. Ser un(a) reseñador(a) de tesis de licenciatura, maestría y
doctorado.
3. Enviar tu tesis o disertación terminada para ser reseñada.
Nuestras reseñas no son críticas, si no que están diseñadas para resaltar y
publicitar las innovaciones hechas por los tesistas, con el propósito de
proveer publicidad gratuita y positiva al trabajo que completaron. Las
reseñas resumen los argumentos primarios de los autores y su metodología,
ubican el trabajo con relación a otros estudios hechos y explican las
contribuciones que la tesis hace a América Latina. Como muchos de los
autores que mandan sus tesis/ disertaciones están en proceso de convertir
su trabajo en publicaciones, nuestras reseñas protegen la integridad de los
manuscritos que nos envían ya que hablan en términos generales y no se
incluyen detalles específicos de las fuentes o los datos utilizados.
Nuestros reseñadores son profesores y estudiantes de posgrado de América,
Europa y el Pacífico del sur. Su trabajo abarca un amplio espectro de
disciplinas y especialidades, por este motivo los especialistas en un tema
realizan reseñas específicas.
Además de las reseñas de tesis de reciente conclusión, LAGRR/ RIPAL también
proporciona información de las investigaciones en progreso en un catálogo
distinto. Aunque no publicamos reseñas de tesis en progreso, agregamos
estos trabajos a nuestro catálogo de "Investigación en Progreso" que
contiene una breve descripción de la investigación. Este catálogo permite a
los estudiantes de posgrado publicitar su trabajo y ponerse en contacto con
otros estudiantes que están llevando a cabo investigaciones con temas
similares o se encuentran en la misma ubicación geográfica.
Si estás interesado(a) en ser un(a) reseñador(a), agrega una breve
descripción de tu investigación en progreso a nuestro catálogo y/ o también

CFP: EIGHTH SOAS CONFERENCE ON THE QUR'AN
CALLS FOR PAPERS
'The Qur'an: Text, Society And Culture' Conference
Thursday 7 – Saturday 9 November 2013
SOAS, University of London
Convenors: Prof. M.A.S. Abdel Haleem and Dr Helen Blatherwick
Deadline for abstracts: 1 June 2013
Proposals are invited for the Eighth SOAS Conference on the Qur'an, to be
held
from Thursday 7 to Saturday 9 November 2013. The conference series seeks to
provide a forum for investigating the basic question: how is the Qur'anic
text
read and interpreted? Our objective is to encompass a global vision of
current
research trends, and to stimulate discussion, debate and research on all
aspects of the Qur'anic text and its interpretation and translation.
While the conference will remain committed to the textual study of the Qur'an
and the religious, intellectual and artistic activity that developed
around it
and drew on it, contributions on all topics relevant to Qur'anic studies are
welcomed and attention will also be given to literary, cultural,
politico-sociological and anthropological studies relating to the Qur'an. The
final conference programme will take account of the range of proposals
actually
accepted.
Selected papers will be published as articles in the Journal of Qur'anic
Studies, subject to standard outside refereeing. Speakers are expected to
give
priority to JQS when publishing these articles.
Submission of Abstracts:
The deadline for abstracts is 1 June 2013. Abstracts of up to 400 words and a
short bio (of up to 200 words) should be submitted in Word format by email
attachment to quran.conference@soas.ac.uk. The primary conference language is
English, but papers may be presented in English or Arabic. All applicants
will
be notified of the status of their proposals in July.
Presented papers should be 25 minutes long, and will be followed by 5 minutes
for questions per paper.
Further Information:
It is Centre of Islamic Studies policy to reimburse featured speakers for
their
standard travel expenses, hotel accommodation and board. We do, however,
encourage speakers to try to obtain some funding from their home universities
or other sources wherever possible.
If you would like further information on the conference series, please visit
the conference website at www.soas.ac.uk/cisconference
<http://www.soas.ac.uk/islamicstudies/conferences/quran2011/> . This will
be updated with the conference programme from September 2013, on an
ongoing basis.
For general enquiries, please contact the conference administrator at
conference@how-foundation.org . For academic enquiries contact Helen
Blatherwick at <hb20@soas.ac.uk>.
No registration is required for this conference and all are welcome to
attend.

Ethnoscapes, Culturescapes: Anthropologies for the Present (see below)
We encourage all those who wish to propose a session addressing the theme to submit a 200 word abstract by July 15th, 2013.
Paper abstracts of approximately 150 words should be submitted by September 1st 2013.

Ethnoscapes, Culturescapes: Anthropologies for the Present
The term ‘ethnoscape’ was first used by Arjun Appadurai in his 1990 essay ‘Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy’. Rejecting existing models of the global cultural economy, he argued that it should be understood as a complex, overlapping order featuring “fundamental disjunctures between economy, culture, and politics which we have barely begun to theorizeâ€. The framework he proposed for exploring these disjunctures was premised on the relationships between five primary dimensions: ethnoscapes, mediascapes, technoscapes, financescapes, and ideoscapes.
His use of the suffix ‘scape’ indicated that these are not “objectively given relations that look the same from every angle of visionâ€, but rather deeply perspectival constructs, ‘imagined worlds’ inflected by the historical, linguistic, and political situatedness of different sorts of actors. The latter might range from nation states, multinational corporations, diasporic communities, and subnational groupings, to villages, neighbourhoods, families, and individuals.
Especially in anthropology, the most influential of Appadurai’s ‘scapes’ has been ‘ethnoscape’. He defined this as “the landscape of persons who constitute the shifting world in which we live: tourists, immigrants, refugees, exiles, guestworkers, and other moving groups and persons [who] constitute an essential feature of the world, and appear to affect the politics of and between nations to a hitherto unprecedented degreeâ€.
This does not, he said, negate the significance of “relatively stable communities and networks†based on kinship, birth, residence, filiation, friendship, work, leisureâ€, etc. But “the warp of these stabilities is everywhere shot through with the woof of human motion, as more persons and groups deal with the realities of having to move, or the fantasies of wanting to moveâ€.
Appadurai did not himself put a label on these “relatively stable communities and networksâ€. For our purposes we will call them ‘culturescapes’. In a sense, with the idea of ‘culturescapes’ we return to twenty-first century versions of the more ‘traditional’ sites of ethnography â€" neighbourhoods, communities, islands, valleys, workplaces, organisations, and so on â€" though with the added dimension of their being imbued with “the woof of human motionâ€.
Participants in the ASAANZ-2013 conference are encouraged particularly to pursue, ethnographically and/or theoretically, the concept of a global cultural economy, with reference to the shifting, imagined worlds characteristic of ethnoscapes and/or the relative social stabilities that typify culturescapes. Contributions that fall beyond these parameters also are very welcome.

Ethnoscapes, Culturescapes: Anthropologies for the Present
The term 'ethnoscape' was first used by Arjun Appadurai in his 1990 essay
'Disjuncture and Difference in the Global Cultural Economy'. Rejecting
existing
models of the global cultural economy, he argued that it should be
understood as a
complex, overlapping order featuring "fundamental disjunctures between
economy,
culture, and politics which we have barely begun to theorize". The
framework he
proposed for exploring these disjunctures was premised on the
relationships between
five primary dimensions: ethnoscapes, mediascapes, technoscapes,
financescapes, and
ideoscapes.
His use of the suffix 'scape' indicated that these are not "objectively given
relations that look the same from every angle of vision", but rather deeply
perspectival constructs, 'imagined worlds' inflected by the historical,
linguistic,
and political situatedness of different sorts of actors. The latter might
range from
nation states, multinational corporations, diasporic communities, and
subnational
groupings, to villages, neighbourhoods, families, and individuals.
Especially in anthropology, the most influential of Appadurai's 'scapes'
has been
'ethnoscape'. He defined this as "the landscape of persons who constitute the
shifting world in which we live: tourists, immigrants, refugees, exiles,
guestworkers, and other moving groups and persons [who] constitute an
essential
feature of the world, and appear to affect the politics of and between
nations to a

This does not, he said, negate the significance of "relatively stable

and networks" based on kinship, birth, residence, filiation, friendship,

through with
the woof of human motion, as more persons and groups deal with the

Call for papers: Food sovereignty -- a critical dialogue, Yale, 12 - 13 September
Call for Abstracts/Papers - Food Sovereignty: A Critical Dialogue
September 14–15, 2013
Yale University
Deadline: June 15, 2013
We are inviting abstracts/papers around the broad topic of "food
sovereignty" for the upcoming conference Food Sovereignty: A Critical
Dialogue. We understand the concept broadly as the right of peoples to
democratically control or determine the shape of their food system, and
to produce sufficient and healthy food in culturally appropriate and
ecologically sustainable ways in and near their territory. As such it
spans issues like food politics, agroecology, land reform, bio-fuels,
genetically modified organisms (GMOs), the patenting of life forms, labor
migration, the feeding of volatile cities, urban gardening, ecological
sustainability, and subsistence rights, among others. We are interested in
varied papers including theoretical, empirical, methodological,
state-of-the-art review, and commentary papers by established or early
career researchers. We are especially interested in papers that are
skeptical and/or critical of the issue, which raise important and
difficult questions. Embracing a plenary of views, the conference aims to
provide a platform for a critical but constructive dialogue.
Interested participants should submit a CV and an abstract with project
title of no more than 500 words to the following email address:
food.sovereignty2013@gmail.com
by June 15th, 2013. If you have a draft paper, we encourage you to
submit the full paper instead. Decisions will be rendered by July 1st. Some
papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in the
Journal of Peasant Studies (JPS).
Unfortunately, the modest funds available for the conference are not
able to provide ALL participants with travel and accommodation support.
Breakfast and lunch, however, will be provided.
Please feel free to contact us at the above email address with any
questions.

****Anthropology Southern Africa Annual Conference
*MUTUALITY AND ITS LIMITS
Hosted by the Wits Anthropology Department
6-8 September 2013
University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa
Preliminary call for papers and panels:
How do people take others into account? What do we find interesting in
other lives, and how do they become valuable, trivial, threatening,
obscure or puzzling to us? How do our capacities for recognizing other
lives depend on the work of particular kinds of social forms, relations,
mediations and representations? A renewed interest in these elementary
questions about mutuality has produced a wealth of new thinking in the
humanities and human sciences in recent years. Questions about the
conditions and the limits of mutuality are also of major importance for
our understanding of pressing issues to do with inequality, solidarity,
hospitality and violence.
For this year's ASnA Conference, to be hosted by Wits Anthropology on
6-8 September 2013 in Johannesburg, we invite proposals for papers and
panels broadly addressing the theme of 'mutuality and its limits'.
Within this rubric, we especially encourage participants to consider the
ways in which new work in African anthropology is reorienting and
revitalizing the discipline.
Proposals should include name, affiliation, paper/panel title and an
abstract of no more than 250 words. For panel proposals, please include
a list of prospective participants if these have already been
identified. Proposals should be sent to asnaconference2013@gmail.com.
Deadline:1 June 2013.

*This Is Anthropology was created for students, parents and the general
public to learn more about what anthropology is and what anthropologists
do in simple, accessible language. The site allows anthropologists from
around the world to share a photo and a brief "blurb" about their work
along with their contact information. Visitors to the site can then
enter a location anywhere in the world and find anthropologists who are
working in that area.
Though still at the beta stage of development, the site currently
includes an overview of the discipline of anthropology
<http://www.thisisanthropology.com/about-anthropology>, the skills
<http://www.thisisanthropology.com/anthropological-skills> and careers
<http://www.thisisanthropology.com/anthropological-careers> of
anthropologists, advice on how to become an anthropologist
<http://www.thisisanthropology.com/become-an-anthropologist>, and an
interactive map <http://www.thisisanthropology.com/map.cfm> displaying
anthropology projects in different parts of the world. Visitors to the
website will learn about the kinds of jobs anthropologists have, the
skill sets we employ, the kinds of research questions we ask, and how
anthropologists around the globe are attempting to better understand
what it means to be human. We hope this visual display of the work of
many and varied anthropologists will convey to visitors the critical
thinking, productive approaches to diversity, effective written and oral
communication, and technical skills that are central to the work of
anthropologists.
We need the profiles of as many anthropologists as possible to
demonstrate the breadth and importance of our work!
Before promoting the site to a broader audience, we need our members to
add their profile to the map. It's quick and easy to add your
information. You can add photos and links, flag your research site on
the map, and share information about your research. Simply visit this

*Teaching Amidst Change conference, 5-6 September 2013, 15 Norham
Gardens, Department of Education, University of Oxford
This two-day conference on teaching and learning anthropology will
explore how we employ anthropological approaches, insights and debates
within conversations about current events. We invite also ethnographic
reflections on the role that 'change' may play within the classroom, the
university, in the field and within the discipline. Are
transformations, or 'crises', teachable in anthropology? What are their
implications for academic research, teaching and learning across a
pan-European anthropological community? What is the role for
anthropological teaching and learning in articulating or engaging with
'change'?
Keynote speakers: Professor Susana Narotzky (University of Barcelona)
and Professor Sue Wright (Aarhus University)

2013 RUDOLF VIRCHOW AWARDS
2013 RUDOLF VIRCHOW AWARDS
Rudolf Virchow, a 19th century German physician, was a key founder of
social medicine. His contributions centered on his recognition that
multiple intersecting factors - social, political, and economic - produce
disease and illness. He argued that the circumstances and deprivations of
poverty increase people's susceptibility to disease and result in reduced
life expectancy and quality of life. He eloquently articulated the limits
of medicine in the absence of material security, a sentiment which informed
his view that nation-states play an important role in ensuring health
security for a citizenry. Virchow viewed advocacy as an essential part of
health praxis, and, in keeping with this legacy, the Critical Anthropology
for Global Health Caucus honors Virchow's work with three awards.
The annual Rudolf Virchow Awards are given by the Critical Anthropology for
Global Health Caucus, a special interest group of the Society for Medical
Anthropology. The Professional Award honors a recent published article, and
the Graduate and Undergraduate Student Awards honor recent student papers
that have not yet benefited from editorial review. Winning submissions
combine a critical anthropology focus with rich ethnographic data, and best
reflect, extend, and/or advance critical perspectives in medical
anthropology.

Troubling Violence, Troubling Girlhood: Public Lecture: 22 May, Concordia University, H-429
Subject: Re: Public Lecture: 22 May, H-429
Lena Palacios' talk will be at 12:30pm, on Wednesday, 22 May, in Hall- 429,
Concordia University.
22 May, H-429
Public Lecture: Lena Palacios
"Troubling Violence, Troubling Girlhood: What does it mean to be a "girl"
in a "girl-led collective" organizing against sexual and state violence?"
In conjunction with the course "Feminism, Girls and Girlhoods"
Concordia University, H- 429 (Hall building)
22 May 2013
Abstract: This presentation highlights how the organizing of racialized,
disabled, queer, and gender non-conforming girls who represent the
communities most impacted by interlocking forms of interpersonal (namely
sexual violence) and state violence are at the forefront of developing
transformative justice models.
Negotiating criminal punishment systems, schools, media, activist
formations, neighborhoods, groups of friends, and families, girl-led
organizations build models for dealing with harm that do not rely on
exile, expulsion, or caging, but instead examine the root causes of harm
and seek to transform both victim and perpetuator. Beyond highlighting
these youth-driven collectives' transformative justice models, I focus on
how girls are trained—via a potent mixture of informal education, action
research, and media justice—to become "radical bridge builders"
who engage in intersectionality and intermovement praxis. After
identifying how racist, classist, patriarchal, and ableist frameworks
undergird institutions, many young women "learn in social action" how to
strategically maneuver between a multiplicity of social movements in order
to organize against sexual and state violence.
By centering these case studies of anti-violence and abolitionist activism
that contests colonial state control and surveillance undertaken by girls
and young women, I am ultimately working to problematize the very notion
of "girl" and "girlhood" as a colonial legacy privileging white,
upper-/middle-class, heterosexual, able girl bodies via Eurowestern
theories of normative child development that were and continue to be
violently imposed onto racialized, Indigenous and other minoritized girls.
I am to discuss resistance to the girl and girl-child category alongside
claims to girlhood for political projects (both girl-led and academic-led
initiatives). When do girls and young women resist "girlhood" and why?
When is it claimed and why? I ultimately argue that consideration of these
questions has everything to do with race, class, ability, sexuality, and
settler society standpoints.
Lastly, I will end this presentation with a short video essay about my own
"girlhood" entitled "Shadow Boxing: A Chicana's Journey from Vigilante
Violence to Transformative Justice". In it, I chart my journey from
wanting revenge against an individual—starting when I was a little girl—to
organizing collectively against interlocking forms of institutional
violence—starting as a young woman recently released from juvenile lock-up
in 1990s California. I speak from multiple intersections as a queer mixed
race Chicana from an urban, working-class background who is a survivor of
sexual violence, an anti-violence activist, and a prison abolitionist.
Lena Palacios is a Joint PhD Candidate in Educational Studies and
Communication Studies (Graduate Option in Gender and Women's Studies),

Studies, McGill University, Montreal, QC.
Bio: I am a queer Chicana originally from San Francisco who is currently a

Ethnographic Research on Education, UCLA
Committee on World Anthropologies
Inter-American Symposium on Ethnographic Research in Education, UCLA
September 18-20, 2013
More information can be found at http://conferences.gseis.ucla.edu/simposio.
Ethnographic research is inherently local, but it also requires comparison
to build toward general understandings. Yet ethnography of education, even
when practiced by anthropologists, tends to be nation-bound, particularly
in the United States. Not only do many US-based anthropologists lack
understanding of educational systems outside our borders, but we often
remain ignorant as well of the bodies of research published by
ethnographers in other countries, especially when published in languages
other than English.
To create the kind of direct engagement across languages and across
national epistemologies that would build a truly comparative ethnography
of education, UCLA will host an Inter-American Symposium on Ethnographic
Research in Education/Simposio Interamericano de Investigación Etnografía
en Educación September 18-20, 2013.The Simposio will bring together senior
scholars and students from Latin America, the United States and Canada to
share and discuss research in Spanish, Portuguese, French and English. The
main goal is to help scholars (especially Anglophone scholars) become
aware of research published in languages other than their own, and
to begin to grasp the social and intellectual contexts within which they
can appreciate that research.
The Simposio is the 13th in an irregular series first launched by Margaret
LeCompte, a former president of AAA's Council on Anthropology and
Education, with Gary Anderson and Mario Rueda Beltrán. Over the years,
Simposios have been held in both the United States and in Latin America,
the most recent being in Buenos Aires in 2006 and the Yucatán in 2008.
The UCLA meeting will take comparison to a new level by requiring
cross-hemisphere and cross-linguistic participation in every session. We
invite speakers to talk in (one of) their first language(s). A
multi-lingual format requires new rules, such as asking participants to
share drafts ahead of time and to project or pass out bilingual outlines
of their talks. We also allot 40 minutes per paper to allow time for
impromptu translation, clarification, and discussion with the help of
bilingual
scholars in the room. Although the plenary sessions will offer simultaneous
translation, in the smaller session we rely on collaborative mutual
interpretation.
We do so because we have found that when scholars read papers translated
into a less familiar languagethey may lose the intonation and drop the
gestures that help convey meaning. Meanwhile, professional simultaneous
interpretation often falls short because the interpreters do not know
social science terms and concepts. Instead, fellow scholars who happen to
be bilingual are in the best position to both translate and bridge between
different academic traditions, glossing the distinct meanings given to
similar terms in different nations.
This Simposio focuses on a specific theme to guarantee that our
comparisons have a common object. That object, "Majorities, minorities and
migrations," is a set of issues demanding urgent attention across the
Americas and also invoking differing social categories from nation to
nation. Native Americans (or First Nations, Pueblos Indios) share common
experiences of colonization, yet have diverse histories of assimilation,
segregation and recognition in each country. Since the conquest, multiple
migrations have led to reconfigurations of national populations and the
construction of various minorities through ethnic and racial categories.
Among these, the Latino minorities in the USA are part of transnational
majorities, and are fast becoming local majorities in many cities in
California. While US discussion has centered on "minorities" and
"immigrants," in Latin America, it has focused on the popular majorities
(working-class rural and urban, and indigenous peoples) who
were long excluded from formal education, and on rural-urban as well as
cross-border migrants. Thus discussion of research on these themes will
direct attention to contrasting ways in which scholars from different
parts of the hemisphere frame the issues.
The structure of the Simposio respects the grounding of ethnography in the
concrete and the local, while building toward the comparative and the more
general. During the first two days, up to 75 ethnographers will report on
specific ethnographic studies in the cross-national and multilingual
sessions. The third day will be devoted to workshops in which participants
funnel lessons from the research presented into the beginning of a
synthesis. In the morning, there will be three parallel workshops, one to
synthesize ideas on the theme of majorities/minorities, one on the theme
of migrations and one addressing the meta-issues of the challenges
of translation and comparison. In the afternoon, participants will gather
in a plenary workshop where, moderated by the leaders of each morning
workshop, they will identify common themes and divergent points across the
three morning sessions.
Juan Luis Sariego Rodríguez of the Escuela Nacional de Antropología e
Historia and Sofia Villenas of Cornell will offer Keynotes to frame the
research presentations.
In an Invited Roundtable, these senior ethnographers have been invited to
model a multilingual discussion. Among other participants will be a large
party of anthropologists from the Universidad de Buenos Aires; scholars
from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and the Universidade de São
Paulo; ethnographers from UNAM, the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, and
the DIE-CINVESTAV, Mexico; and anthropologists and linguists from Teachers
College, Columbia University, SUNY Albany, the University of Nebraska,
Indiana University, and UCLA.
Elsie Rockwell of the DIE-CINVESTAV, Mexico, and Kathryn Anderson-Levitt
of UCLA are the organizers.

scholars in the room. Although the plenary sessions will offer simultaneous
translation, in the smaller session we rely on collaborative mutual
interpretation.
We do so because we have found that when scholars read papers translated
into a less familiar languagethey may lose the intonation and drop the
gestures that help convey meaning. Meanwhile, professional simultaneous
interpretation often falls short because the interpreters do not know
social science terms and concepts. Instead, fellow scholars who happen to
be bilingual are in the best position to both translate and bridge between
different academic traditions, glossing the distinct meanings given to
similar terms in different nations.
This Simposio focuses on a specific theme to guarantee that our
comparisons have a common object. That object, "Majorities, minorities and
migrations," is a set of issues demanding urgent attention across the
Americas and also invoking differing social categories from nation to
nation. Native Americans (or First Nations, Pueblos Indios) share common
experiences of colonization, yet have diverse histories of assimilation,
segregation and recognition in each country. Since the conquest, multiple
migrations have led to reconfigurations of national populations and the
construction of various minorities through ethnic and racial categories.
Among these, the Latino minorities in the USA are part of transnational
majorities, and are fast becoming local majorities in many cities in
California. While US discussion has centered on "minorities" and
"immigrants," in Latin America, it has focused on the popular majorities
(working-class rural and urban, and indigenous peoples) who
were long excluded from formal education, and on rural-urban as well as
cross-border migrants. Thus discussion of research on these themes will
direct attention to contrasting ways in which scholars from different
parts of the hemisphere frame the issues.
The structure of the Simposio respects the grounding of ethnography in the
concrete and the local, while building toward the comparative and the more
general. During the first two days, up to 75 ethnographers will report on
specific ethnographic studies in the cross-national and multilingual
sessions. The third day will be devoted to workshops in which participants
funnel lessons from the research presented into the beginning of a
synthesis. In the morning, there will be three parallel workshops, one to
synthesize ideas on the theme of majorities/minorities, one on the theme
of migrations and one addressing the meta-issues of the challenges
of translation and comparison. In the afternoon, participants will gather
in a plenary workshop where, moderated by the leaders of each morning
workshop, they will identify common themes and divergent points across the
three morning sessions.
Juan Luis Sariego Rodríguez of the Escuela Nacional de Antropología e
Historia and Sofia Villenas of Cornell will offer Keynotes to frame the
research presentations.
In an Invited Roundtable, these senior ethnographers have been invited to
model a multilingual discussion. Among other participants will be a large
party of anthropologists from the Universidad de Buenos Aires; scholars
from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais and the Universidade de São
Paulo; ethnographers from UNAM, the Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, and
the DIE-CINVESTAV, Mexico; and anthropologists and linguists from Teachers
College, Columbia University, SUNY Albany, the University of Nebraska,
Indiana University, and UCLA.
Elsie Rockwell of the DIE-CINVESTAV, Mexico, and Kathryn Anderson-Levitt
of UCLA are the organizers.

The Australian Anthropological Society Conference in November 2013
Australian Anthropological Society Conference in November 2013
The Australian Anthropological Society annual conference will be held 4-6
November
in Canberra, Australia.
There is a total of 47 sessions – see:
http://www.aas.asn.au/conf13/call4papers.php
Two sessions of interest:
Ethnographies of the Political: Perspectives from the Asia-Pacific
Nicole Haley and Jack Corbett (State, Society and Governance in Melanesia,
School of International Political and Strategic Studies, College of Asia
and the Pacific,
ANU).
This session eschews viewing the political through preconceived categories
that belie the lived realities of people living in the region. Rather than
focussing on political systems and narrow definitions of government and
political institutions, this session seeks contributions from scholars who
examine politics that are broadly defined. We are particularly interested
in papers that take an ethnographic perspective that captures the robust
politics of the day-to-day.
Possible topics include: anthropologies of the state; the politics of
social and civil society movements; local forms of political
participation; community responses to extractive industries, land grabs
and neoliberalism; democratic disenchantment; and forms of local political
activism.

Ethnographies of Sorcery and Witchcraft: Perspectives from the Asia-Pacific.
Richard Eves (State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Program, ANU) and
Miranda Forsyth (Regulatory Institutions Network, ANU).
Despite the secular view, inherited from Weber, that recourse to magical
understandings of the world decline with modernity, evidence from many
parts of the world show that this is not so. The proliferation of new
forms of sorcery, and the sharp increase in accusations of sorcery and
witchcraft resulting in horrendous attacks on alleged practitioners, defy
this view of modernity. Several comparative volumes address the
anthropology of sorcery and witchcraft in the context of modernity from
regional perspectives. These include, for Melanesia, Stephen (1987,
Sorcerer and Witch in Melanesia); for Africa, Moore & Sanders
(2001, Magical Interpretations, Material Realities) and Comaroff &
Comaroff (1993, Modernity & its Malcontents); for Amazonia, Whitehead &
Wright (2004, In Darkness and Secrecy) and for South-East Asia, Watson &
Ellen (1993, Understanding Witchcraft and Secrecy in Southeast Asia).
However, very little work that examines the relationship between sorcery
and witchcraft and modernity in the Asia-Pacific region has appeared. The
convenors are interested in rich contemporary ethnographic case studies
from the Asia-Pacific region that capture the diversity of people's
beliefs in and practices of sorcery and witchcraft. The convenors also
welcome contributions that examine how sorcery and witchcraft beliefs and
practices are being responded to by the state, religious authorities and
local communities. We hope to publish an edited collection from this
session.
