Announcing new anthropologica EIC

(English follows)


Chers collègues,

Le comité de direction de la CASCA et Naomi McPherson, rédactrice en
chef d'Anthropologica, ont le grand plaisir de vous annoncer la
nomination de Mme Jasmin Habib au poste de rédactrice en chef
d'Anthropologica, à partir de mai 2015. Nous sommes très heureux
d'avoir pu attirer à ce poste quelqu'un d'aussi qualifié que Mme Habib
et lui souhaitons beaucoup de succès dans ses nouvelles fonctions.

Bien cordialement,

Christine Jourdan, présidente de la Casca


Jasmin Habib fait partie du comité de rédaction d'Anthropologica
depuis 2009. Elle est à l'origine de la nouvelle section de la revue
intitulée 'Réflections' et y a contribué. Elle est la rédactrice de la
série Cultural Spaces aux presses de l'université de Toronto et a
servi pendant deux mandats d'évaluatrice pour le Programme d'Aide aux
Publications Savantes. Elle enseigne au Département de Sciences
Politiques et à l'Ecole Balsillie des Affaires Internationales de
l'Université de Waterloo.

Depuis la fin de son doctorat en anthropologie culturelle
(McMaster 2000), Jasmin poursuit activement un programme de recherche
et d'enseignement. Elle est l'auteur de Israël, Diaspora and the
National Routes of Belonging (2004, Presses de l'Université de
Toronto), livre qui étudie les juifs de la diaspora et leurs relations
avec Israël. Ce livre a fait l'objet de comptes rendus dans des revues
académiques et dans le Globe and Mail. Ses recherches parmi les
palestiniens de la diaspora ont été publiées dans plusieurs chapitres
de livres tels que "'We were living in a different country':
Palestinian Nostalgia and the Future Past" in Mixed Towns, Trapped
Communities, sous la direction de Daniel Rabinowitz & Dan Monterescu
(2007, Ashgate Publishing); et "Transnational Transformation:
Cyberactivism and the Palestinian Right of Return," in Renegotiating
Community: Interdisciplinary Perspectives, Global Contexts, sous la
direction de Diana Brydon & William Coleman (2008, presses de
l'Université de la Colombie-Britannique), et "Property Rites:
Narrating Palestinian Presence" in Property Rights Contestation and
Autonomy, sous la direction de William Coleman & Scott Prudham
(presses de l'Université de la Colombie-Britannique 2011). En 2013,
son article "On the Matter of Return: Autoethnographic Reflections"
publié dans Ethnographic Encounters in Israel: Poetics and Ethics in
Fieldwork sous la direction de Fran Markowitz (presses de l'Université
de l'Indiana) lui offre de se pencher sur sa propre condition de juive
israëlienne et de citoyenne palestinienne d'Israël.

L'intérêt de longue date que Jasmin porte à l'écriture
ethnographique, aux populations déplacées et aux études autochtones
est à la base d'un projet de recherche conjoint avec Harvey Feit
(professeur émérite à l'Université McMaster), Philip Awashish
(Première Nation Mistissini) et Sam Gull (Premières Nations
Waswanipi). Ce projet fait l'objet d'une série de livres (en
préparation): Reflections on the Histories and Relations of
Co-Governance with the James Bay Cree (Eeyou Istchee).

Un projet de recherche mené avec Virginia Dominguez et Jane
Desmond, toutes deux professeurs d'anthropologie et co-fondatrices et
directrices of the International Forum for U.S. Studies à l'Université
de l'Illinois à Urbana-Champaign, a permis la réalisation d'un recueil
de textes intitulé America Observed: Towards an Anthropology of the
United States (co-dirigé avec Virginia Dominguez). Ce livre est évalué
en ce moment par les presses de l'Université de l'Indiana.

Dans son projet actuel intitulé Critical Distance: Israeli
Emigres, Human Rights, and the Israel/Palestine Conflict, Jasmin
continue ses recherches sur les relations transnationales qui émergent
aux croisées du conflit israëlo-palestinien.



Dear colleagues,

CASCA Executive committee, together with Naomi McPherson, Editor in
Chief of Anthropologica, are very pleased to announce the nomination
of Dr. Jasmin Habib to the position of Editor in Chief of
Anthropologica, starting May 2015. We find ourselves very happy to
have attracted someone as qualified as Dr. Habib and wish her much
success in her new functions.

Cordially,

Christine Jourdan, Casca President.


Jasmin Habib has been on the Board of Anthropologica since 2009. She
introduced the idea of a new section of the journal, entitled
"Reflections" and contributed to it. She comes to the position of EiC
with experience as the Series Editor for Cultural Spaces at the
University of Toronto Press as well as two terms as a reviewer for the
Aid to Scholarly Publications programme. She teaches in the Department
of Political Science as well the Balsillie School of International
Affairs in Waterloo.

Jasmin has undertaken an active programme of research and
teaching since completing her PhD in Cultural Anthropology at McMaster
University (2000). She wrote Israel, Diaspora and the National Routes
of Belonging (2004, University of Toronto), her book-length study of
diaspora Jews and their relationship to Israel which has been reviewed
in academic journals as well as the Globe and Mail. Her work with
Palestinians in diaspora led her to write several chapters on the
topic, including "'We were living in a different country': Palestinian
Nostalgia and the Future Past" in Mixed Towns, Trapped Communities,
edited by Daniel Rabinowitz & Dan Monterescu (2007, Ashgate
Publishing); and "Transnational Transformation: Cyberactivism and the
Palestinian Right of Return," in Renegotiating Community:
Interdisciplinary Perspectives, Global Contexts, edited by Diana
Brydon & William Coleman (2008, UBC Press), and "Property Rites:
Narrating Palestinian Presence" in Property Rights Contestation and
Autonomy, edited by William Coleman & Scott Prudham (UBC Press, 2011).
In 2013, she reflected on her own positioning as an Israeli Jew and
Palestinian citizen of Israel in "On the Matter of Return:
Autoethnographic Reflections" in Ethnographic Encounters in Israel:
Poetics and Ethics in Fieldwork. Ed. Fran Markowitz (University of
Indiana Press).

A long-standing interest in ethnographic writing, displaced
communities and Indigenous Studies informs a SSHRC-funded project that
she shares with Harvey Feit (Professor Emeritus, McMaster University),
Philip Awashish (Mistissini First Nation) and Sam Gull (Waswanipi
First Nations). This project has led to a series volume in progress:
Reflections on the Histories and Relations of Co-Governance with the
James Bay Cree (Eeyou Istchee).

A project with Virginia Dominguez (Gutsgell Professor of
Anthropology) and Jane Desmond (Professor of Anthropology) co-founding
directors of the International Forum for U.S. Studies at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has led to America
Observed: Towards an Anthropology of the United States (co-edited with
Virginia Dominguez) a book under consideration by the University of
Indiana Press.

Jasmin continues to work on the transnational relationships that
emerge at the crossroads of the Israel/Palestine conflict in her
latest project: Critical Distance: Israeli Emigres, Human Rights, and
the Israel/Palestine Conflict.
