(Duras, Breillat).

Professeure Beaulieu présentera l'œuvre de l'artiste américaine féministe
Lynn Hershman Leeson, en analysant la figure et la notion du cyborg dans
ses œuvres interdisciplinaires (photographie, cinéma, vidéo). Les intérêts

cinéma et la littérature, dont le cinéma des femmes (Hershman, Minh-ha,
Cheang); la littérature et la culture numériques; les avant-gardes et le
cinéma expérimental (Deren, Brakhage); la New French Extremity (Breillat,
Bonello); le Nouveau cinéma *queer *(Haynes) et les théories *queer *(Butler,

*Caroline Desbiens (U. Laval).*
Professor, Canada Research Chair in historical geography of the North,
Department of Geography
Professeure titulaire, Chaire de recherche du Canada en géographie
historique de Nord, Département de géographie.

*Women's Leadership in Native Friendship Centres in Quebec. *
*Le leadership des femmes autochtones dans les Centre d'amitié autochtones
du Québec.*

Professor Desbiens will discuss her research on the importance of
aboriginal women's involvement with native friendship centres in Quebec.
Many of these centres were founded by women and the majority of them are
still headed by women today. Women's involvement has been key in creating
and maintaining that network. Professor Desbiens' other research interests
include: feminist geography; cultural geography; aboriginal women;
planning, regional development and governance in the Innu territories of
Quebec; aboriginal worlds and the challenges of pluralism; aboriginal
people in urban milieus; the implications of the opening of the Northwest
Passage; and the activities of Chinese mining corporations in Quebec's
North.

Drawing on cultural and historical geography, Caroline Desbiens' research
focuses on indigenous heritage and territories, resource development and
intercultural relations in Northern Quebec, particularly in relation to
hydroelectric development. She also works on the dynamics of gender from a
geographical perspective. She has published many articles in French and
English, and her book *Power from the North: territory, identity and the
culture of hydroelectricity in Quebec* (UBC Press 2013) will be published
in French by Les Presses de l'Université Laval in 2015. Among her current
projects, Professor Desbiens conducts research in partnership with various
First Nations in Quebec, including the Pekuakamiulnuatsh (Montagnais du
Lac-Saint-Jean) on the Péribonka river hydroelectric development, and the
Aboriginal Friendship Centres of Quebec on the visibility of indigenous
peoples and indigenous women in urban areas. Professor Desbiens is a member
of the Board of Directors of Dialog, a research and knowledge network
focusing on indigenous peoples. She is also member of the Board of
Directors of the Fonds québéécois de recherche sur la société et la culture
and Commissaire to the Commission de toponymie of Quebec, where she works
to develop indigenous toponymy. She received the "Woman of Distinction"
Award in 2011 (Education category) from the Québec YWCA. You can read an
interview with Prof. Desbiens (in French) here:
http://tinyurl.com/njvoat6

Professeure Desbiens parlera de ses recherches sur l'engagement des femmes
autochtones dans les Centres d'amitié autochtones au Québec. Beaucoup de
ces centres ont été établis par des femmes et, encore aujourd'hui, la
plupart sont également gérés par des femmes. L'engagement des femmes est
fondamental pour la création et l'entretien de ce réseau. Les intérêts de
recherche de la Professeure Desbiens comprennent, entre autres, la
géographie culturelle et féministe; les femmes autochtones; l'aménagement,
la gouvernance et le développement du territoire des collectivités innues
du Quebec; le monde autochtone et les défis du vivre ensemble; les
autochtones en milieu urbain; l'ouverture du Passage du Nord-Ouest et les
impacts de celle-ci; et les activités des entreprises minières chinoises
dans le Nord du Québec.

Menées dans une approche de géographie culturelle et historique, les
recherches de Caroline Desbiens portent sur les patrimoines et territoires
autochtones, le développement des ressources et les relations
interculturelles dans le Nord du Québec, particulièrement en lien avec le
développement hydroélectrique. Elle s'intéresse également aux dynamiques de
genre dans une perspective géographique. Elle a publié de nombreux articles
en français et en anglais sur ces sujets ; son livre *Power from the North
: territory, identity and the culture of hydroelectricity in Quebec* (UBC
Press 2013) paraîtra en français aux Presses de l'Université Laval en 2015.
Parmi ses projets en cours, la Professeure Desbiens poursuit des recherches
partenariales avec différentes Premières Nations au Québec, dont les
Pekuakamiulnuatsh (Montagnais du Lac-Saint-Jean) sur le développement
hydroélectrique de la rivière Péribonka, et le Regroupement des Centres
d'amitié autochtones du Québec sur la visibilité des premiers peuples, et
des femmes autochtones, en milieu urbain. Madame Desbiens est membre du
Bureau de direction de Dialog– Réseau de recherche et de connaissances
relatives aux peuples autochtones. Elle est également membre du Conseil
d'administration du FQRSC et Commissaire à la Commission de toponymie du
Québec où elle participe à la mise en valeur de la toponymie autochtone.
Elle a reçu en 2011 le prix « Femme de mérite » (Catégorie Éducation) du
YWCA de Québec. Vous pouvez lire un entretien avec la professeure Desbiens

*ANTHROPOLOGY PUBLIC ALUMNI LECTURE*
*/Presented by the Anthropology Colloquium Series, University of Toronto/
*

*The Shape of Human Origins*

*Carol V. Ward*
Professor and Director of Anatomical Sciences
University of Missouri

*Thursday, April 16, 2015*
7:00-9:00pm, ES 1050
33 Willcocks Street, University of Toronto
Earth Sciences Centre, Reichman Family Lecture Hall
/Followed by Reception/

The transition to habitually terrestrial bipedal locomotion (i.e.,
walking upright) is a hallmark of early hominin evolution, and
continues to be a topic that captivates the scientific community and
public alike. To have an accurate understanding of how this transition
occurred, we need to understand the nature of the ancestral condition
from which hominins evolved. Although often ignored in favor of upper
and lower limb fossils, the torso has been a locus of morphological
change that reflects key adaptations to posture and locomotion, the
biology of early hominins, and the patterns of selection that shaped
them. New fossil evidence of the torso of Miocene apes and early
hominins challenges assumptions about the evolution of locomotor
adaptations in hominoids and the biology of early hominins. Combining
the implications of these new fossils with novel analyses of
previously known material provides new perspectives on the question of
hominin origins and early evolution.

Carol is a paleoanthropologist interested in the evolution of apes and
hominins. She is best known for description of new fossils of
Australopithecus anamensis, A. afarensis, and Proconsul nyanzae and
for research on postcranial morphology and locomotor adaptation in
Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene hominoids. She is co-director of the West
Turkana Paleo Project through the National Museums of Kenya, currently
working at the A. anamensis site of Kanapoi and other sites throughout
West Turkana. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, and has won several teaching awards. Carol
Ward earned her BS in Anthropology and Zoology from the University of
Michigan in 1986 and her PhD in Functional Anatomy and Evolution from
the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy at the Johns Hopkins School
of Medicine in 1991. She joined the faculty at University of Missouri
in 1991 in a joint appointment in the Departments of Anthropology and
Anatomy. In 2006 she moved full time to the Department of Pathology
and Anatomical Sciences to found that department's Integrative Anatomy
group where she is Professor and Director of Anatomical Sciences.

Talk: Headscarves and Hymens, Ottawa Writer's Festival

Ottawa Writer's Festival presents Headscarves and Hymens
with Mona Eltahawy

Hosted by CBC's Lucy van Oldenbarneveld

Saturday April 25

2:00pm @ Christ Church Cathedral • 414 Sparks Street

Mona Eltahawy, an award-winning Egyptian-American feminist writer and
commentator, wrote an article for Foreign Policy entitled "Why Do They
Hate Us?"; "they" being Muslim men, "us" being women. The piece
sparked controversy, of course.

In Headscarves and Hymens , she takes her argument further. Drawing on
her years as a campaigner and a commentator on women's issues in the
Middle East, she explains that since the Arab Spring began, women in
the Arab world have had two revolutions to undertake: one fought with
men against oppressive regimes; and another fought against an entire
political and economic system that treats women in countries from
Yemen and Saudi Arabia to Egypt, Tunisia and Libya as second-class
citizens.

Join us for an inside look at the "toxic mix of culture and religion
that few seem willing or able to disentangle lest they blaspheme or
offend." A manifesto motivated by hope and fury in equal measure, this
session with Mona Eltahawy promises to be as illuminating as it is
incendiary.

2015 Anthony Leeds Prize in Urban Anthropology

2015 Anthony Leeds Prize in Urban Anthropology

The Leeds Prize is awarded each year by the Society for
Urban/National/Transnational/Global Anthropology (SUNTA)
for the outstanding book in urban, national and/or transnational
anthropology published in 2014. The prize is named in honor of
the late Anthony Leeds, a distinguished pioneer in urban
