Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing UTSC

2012-01-26T16:19:00.000-07:00

Fellowship in Ethnographic Writing, Fall 2012

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 2012.

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 Anthropology
colloquiam. In addition, the Fellow will be available to coach students
completing an undergraduate writing assignment, working in tandem with a
professor teaching a core introductory course. This work will be limited
to 5 hours in total.

Applicants should supply a letter of interest, a CV, and 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 drafts of significant
portions of their dissertation to their committee. The current stipend is
set at $10,000 for a period of no less than ten weeks. Fellows may
continue to use the facilities for the entire term.
The closing date for this competition is March 1, 2012. Please send all
application materials, as well as the names of two referees,
electronically to the Centre for Ethnography
<centreforethnography@utsc.utoronto.ca>.

********************

The Richard F. Salisbury Student Award ($1,500)

CASCA is again holding a competition for the Richard F. Salisbury
Student Award. The Salisbury Award is given in memory of Dr. Richard
Frank Salisbury, a founding member of the McGill University Department
of Anthropology as well as the McGill Centre for Developing Areas
Studies. Dr. Salisbury was the author of From Stone to Steel (1962)
and A Homeland for the Cree (1986). His leadership on the James Bay
Project helped the James Bay Cree and the Government of Quebec work
out the historic treaty that has become a model for reconciling
aboriginal autonomy with economic development. Dr. Salisbury passed
away in 1989.

The Richard F. Salisbury Student Award is given each year to a PhD
candidate, enrolled at a Canadian university, for the purposes of
defraying expenses incurred while carrying out dissertation fieldwork.

film-makers coming from around the globe. Conference presenters will
receive tickets to all film screenings.

Papers on applications of film (academic, cultural, practical,
educational) will be considered for conference presentation. There
will also be an open discussion of Festival films. The goals of this
conference are three-fold: (1) to promote the creation, distribution
and use of cultural heritage film as an influence for broad cultural
awareness and understanding; (2) to bring together educators,
film-makers, archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, journalists,
historic preservationists, environmentalists, geographers, and others
interested in cultural heritage and its connections to the natural
environment; and (3) to encourage the exchange of new ideas and
approaches to employ film for the common good of all humanity.

The official call for papers is posted in our Festival area at

CASCA 2012: The Unexpected/L=?iso-8859-1?Q?=92Inattendu,?= May 2012/mai 2012 - Reminder/Rappel

REMINDER

CASCA 2012
The Unexpected

As a departure from more paradigmatic conferences, CASCA 2012, to be
held at the University of Alberta in Edmonton on May 9-12, will
explore The Unexpected. The papers and events in and around this
conference will explore how anthropologists think about and respond to
unanticipated, unpredicted, and surprising aspects of their research.
CASCA 2012 presents a moment in which anthropologists, from the most
senior to the most inexperienced and from every sub-discipline, can
reflect on and share those aspects of their research typically
reserved for more informal venues. We are delighted to host Prof.
Richard Jenkins from University of Sheffield whose keynote address,
"Tales of the unexpected: doing fieldwork and doing everyday life,"
promises to confront directly the often precarious and contradictory
aspects of anthropological research.

In order to encourage participants to explore topics in unexpected
ways, the structure of this conference will differ from those held
previously. To begin, the organizers of CASCA 2012 are proposing
several thematic panels to which scholars may submit individual
abstracts. These thematic panels will be built around a format of
short (5-8 minute) presentations based on papers to be circulated
prior to the conference with the goal of sparking a wider discussion
among those presenting and those attending the sessions. The
Conference organized thematic panels will include the following:

• Ethics and the unexpected
• Experiencing the unexpected
• Planning for the unexpected
• Practicing the unexpected
• The unexpected in the global imaginary
• Unexpected connections in and through bio-archaeology
• Uh, oh!

In addition to the aforementioned thematic panels, other forms of
participation will include papers, PechaKucha, and poster sessions.
Individually submitted abstracts are preferred; conference organizers
will assemble panels from individual paper abstracts (maximum 120
words) with the goal of building new and unexpected convergences
between participants and topics. Participant organized panels are not
excluded, but those panels may see some reorganization to better fit
the theme and spirit of the conference. Along with sessions that
follow a traditional 15-minute paper presentation format, we offer
participants the opportunity to present as a part of PechaKucha
panels, in which each presentation is allowed 20 slides with a
20-second limit for each slide, or in poster sessions. All formats
will allow for lively and engaging presentations that should engender
thought-provoking interactions between presenters and audience members.

As a possible starting place for imagining contributions to The
Unexpected, we offer the following suggestions, hoping that they will
provoke some new and unexpected topics to be explored with others at
CASCA 2012.

Anthropology of the unexpected, of crises, disasters and tranquility
Unexpected anthropology (e.g., science fiction, ethnographic fiction, etc.)
Unexpected anthropology in classrooms and other learning environments
Unexpected connections and collaborations between people, ideas, and
disciplines
Unexpected consequences of anthropology
Unexpected dangers and taboos of anthropology
Unexpected humor and unexpected joy in anthropology
Unexpected research or results

Abstracts will be accepted through February 15th. For detailed
information on registration and abstract submission, visit the CASCA
website at www.cas-sca.ca.

RAPPEL

CASCA 2012
L'Inattendu

Pour s'éloigner du style formel des conférences annuelles, le thème de
CASCA 2012 qui se tiendra à l'Université de l'Alberta à Edmonton du 9
au 12 mai sera L'Inattendu. Le thème qui sera exploré aux cours de
cette conférence est comment les anthropologues pensent et réagissent
à l'inattendu, l'imprévu et les aspects surprenants de leur recherche.
CASCA 2012 présente une opportunité pour les anthropologues, du plus
aguerri au moins expérimenté et de toutes les sous-disciplines, de
réfléchir et partager ces aspects de leur recherche généralement
réservée à des occasions moins formelles. Nous avons le plaisir
d'accueillir le Professeur Richard Jenkins de l'Université de
Sheffield, conférencier d'honneur. Sa présentation, 'Contes de
l'inattendu : travail de terrain et la vie quotidienne', promet
d'adresser directement les aspects souvent précaires et
contradictoires de la recherche en anthropologie.

Afin d'encourager l'exploration de sujets de façon inattendue par les
participants, la structure de la conférence sera différente de celles
des années précédentes. Premièrement, les organisateurs de CASCA 2012
proposent plusieurs groupes de discussion thématiques pour lesquels
les participants peuvent soumettre un résumé individuel. Ces groupes
de discussion thématiques seront construits autour de courtes
présentations (5 à 8 minutes) basées sur des articles qui seront
distribués avant la conférence afin de générer de plus amples
discussions qui incluront les présentateurs ainsi que les autres
participants de ces forums et les membres de l'auditoire. Les thèmes
de ces groupes de discussion proposés par les organisateurs incluront :

• Éthique et l'Inattendu
• L'expérience de l'Inattendu
• Se Préparer à l'inattendu
• Pratiquer l'inattendu
• L'inattendu dans l'imaginaire universel
• Liens inattendus dans et à travers la bio archéologie
• Oh oh!

En plus de groupes thématiques ci-dessus, d'autres formes de
participation incluront les présentations traditionnelles, sessions
PechaKucha et affiches (posters). La soumission de résumé individuel
est préférable; les organisateurs de la conférence assembleront les
séances à partir des résumés (maximum de 120 mots) dans le but de
bâtir des convergences nouvelles et inattendues entre participants et
thèmes. Les séances thématiques traditionnelles proposées par les
participants ne sont pas exclues mais ces séances pourraient être
modifiées afin de mieux cadrer dans le thème et l'esprit de la
conférence. En plus des communications traditionnelles de 15 minutes,
les participants auront l'opportunité de présenter dans des séances
d'affiches ou PechaKucha, pour lesquelles il y aura un maximum de 20
diapositives et un maximum de 20 secondes par diapositives. Chaque
type de séances permettra des interactions plus vives et plus engagées
entre les présentateurs les membres de l'auditoire.

Comme point de départ pour imaginer des contributions à L'Inattendu,
nous offrons les suggestions suivantes en espérant qu'elles
provoqueront des sujets nouveaux et inattendus à explorer avec les
participants à CASCA 2012.

Anthropologie de l'inattendu, de crises, de désastres et de tranquillité
L'anthropologie inattendue (ex. science-fiction, fiction ethnographique,
etc.)
L'anthropologie inattendue dans les classes ou autres milieux éducatifs
Collaborations et liens inattendus entre personnes, idées et disciplines
Conséquences inattendues de l'anthropologie
Dangers et tabous inattendus en anthropologie
Humour ou joie inattendu en anthropologie
Recherche ou résultats inattendus

Les résumés seront accepté jusqu'au 15 février. Pour plus de détails
sur l'inscription et les soumissions de résumés, visitez le site
internet de CASCA á www.cas-sca.ca.

REMINDER: Call for Papers 2012 UBC Anthropology Graduate Conference

2012-01-25T07:14:00.000-07:00

*REMINDER: January 31st Deadline *
*Call for Papers - 2012 UBC Anthropology Graduate Conference*

*Culture and Change: Towards a Dynamic Anthropology*

The Anthropology Department at the University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, is pleased to announce that *Dr. Yongming Zhou*, Professor of
Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, will be the keynote
speaker for the 2012 graduate student conference to be held at UBC Friday,
March 2nd, and Saturday, March 3rd, 2012.

Additional information on Dr. Zhou, advance registration for the
conference, and an online form for abstract submission and advance
registration and banquet ticket reservations are now available on the
conference website at http://anthgradconf.alyanne.net/index.html.

Anthropologists recognize that cultures are dynamic and changing. Recent
global events, such as the uprising in Egypt and the Occupy Movement, have
pushed these notions of social dynamism to the forefront of public
consciousness. How do global forces combine with local dynamics to shape
the futures of communities around the world? Scholars from the traditional
fields of anthropology, as well as geography, political science, law, and
other disciplines are engaging with this question in new ways.

We cordially invite graduate and undergraduate scholars across disciplines
including but not limited to sociocultural, linguistic, and museum
anthropology, archaeology, sociology, geography, history, and political
science, to join us for an exploration of these themes. Please submit paper
and poster abstracts by *January 31st, 2012*, via the submission form on
the conference website at http://anthgradconf.alyanne.net/index.html.
Abstracts are limited to 150 words. Please include 3 or 4 keywords below
the body of the abstract.

In addition, we encourage works that fall under the realm of visual
anthropology--this includes 10-12 minute documentary/ethnographic film
submissions, photographic and other artistic works that address the dynamic
shifts occurring in various communities influenced by political, economic
and social forces. Please submit film and artwork synopsis no longer than
150 words and related photos or 1-2 minute film clips by *January 31st, 2012
*, via the abstract submission form on the conference website.

Topics could include, but by no means should be limited to, the following:

· Social revolutions

· Mobility/immobility and circulation

· Methodologies addressing change and transition

· Changes in research methods

· Reflexivity

· Performance

To register for the advance rate of $15, and to purchase banquet meal
tickets for $20, please visit the conference website at
http://anthgradconf.alyanne.net/index.html. Also check back for continual
updates on the program and schedule.

Please circulate widely to interested parties and direct any questions to
anthconfubc@gmail.com. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you on
March 3rd!

I am pleased to invite you (and your faculty, students and research
partners) to submit an abstract to the conference Advancing Excellence in
Gender, Sex and Health Research on October 29-31, 2012, hosted by The
Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Institute of Gender and
Health.

Researchers, policy-makers, health care providers and students interested
in gender, sex and health will meet in Montréal, Québec, Canada. The
conference will explore advances in our understandings of how sex and
gender influence health. It will also showcase excellence across the full
scope of health research, from cell to society, and will feature research
on the health of women, men and people of diverse gender identities. This
conference represents a unique opportunity to share new discoveries and
advances in theories, methods, interventions and knowledge translation
across disciplines and subject areas.

Could you kindly circulate this email (and the attached Call for Abstracts
announcement) to the faculty, students and others involved in Gender and
Women's Studies?

The abstract submission deadline is February 15, 2012 - and all
information on the conference can be found at
www.genderandhealthconference.com<http://www.genderandhealthconference.com>

2012 Solon Kimball Award for Public and Applied Anthropology

2012-01-21T10:05:00.000-07:00

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS

The Solon T. Kimball Award for Public and Applied Anthropology was
initiated by royalties from Applied Anthropology in America (Elizabeth M.
Eddy and William L. Partridge, eds., 1978), a volume dedicated to Solon
Kimball, "who taught that the study of human behavior should be of
service to people." The award has been presented every other year since
1984 at the American Anthropological Association annual meeting. Through
the generosity of an anonymous donor, the Solon T. Kimball Award for
Public and Applied Anthropology now provides a $1000 prize.
The Kimball Award offers an opportunity to honor exemplary
anthropologists for outstanding recent achievements that have contributed
to the development of anthropology as an applied science and have had
important impacts on public policy. The range of eligible nominees is
unusually broad: the Kimball Award can be given to individuals or to a
team (including collaborators outside of anthropology) and is not
restricted by nationality, anthropological specialization, or type of
employment. The anthropological contribution may be theoretical or
methodological. The impact on public policy may be in any area, domestic
or international, for example biodiversity, climate change, energy,
international relations, medicine, public health, language conservation,
education, criminal justice, development, or cultural heritage.
Nominations recognizing disciplinary path-breakers who are shaping and
strengthening the discipline of anthropology, and which honor those who
might otherwise be overlooked, are especially encouraged. Nominees
for the Kimball Award may be proposed by others, or may be self-nominated.
The deadline for nominations is June 1, 2012. The recipient of the Solon
T. Kimball Award will be presented in a ceremony at the 2012 Annual
Meeting of the American Anthropological Association in San Francisco, CA,
November 14-18.

For further information, contact Susan Abbott-Jamieson, Chair,

Conference on South Asian Studies

2012-01-16T07:25:00.000-07:00

22nd European Conference on South Asian Studies

Lisbon, 25-28 July

CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear colleagues,
as the deadline is approaching we would like to remind you again of
the panel and screening series that we are organizing for the coming
ECSAS 2012, the 22nd European Conference on South Asian Studies,
Lisbon, 25-28 July.
Aiming to provoke the logic that has characterized conventional
visual gazes upon South Asia we invite papers, films and other forms
of visual essays that are approaching the subcontinent as a place to
"look from" rather than to "look at".
While the papers will be presented within the structure of a regular
panel the films will be shown on the evenings within the framework of
a screening series.

Deadline for paper proposal 27 January, 2012.
http://www.nomadit.co.uk/easas/ecsas2012/panels.php5?PanelID=1121

The convenors are:
PAOLO FAVERO - Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Research
in Anthropology (CRIA) and Associate Professor at the Lisbon
University Institute; Paolo is also a filmmaker and directs the
post-graduation in Digital Visual Culture. He is the director of the
film "Flyoverdelhi" and author of the book "India Dreams"

GIULIA BATTAGLIA - Teaching Fellow for the Centre for Media and Film
Studies (SOAS, University of London) and PhD Research Fellow in Social
Anthropology (SOAS, University of London); Giulia works on Documentary
Film Practices in India and worked as a filmmaker in collaboration
with film practitioners from India. Along with other academics, she
recently curated the festival/conference Persistence/Resistance:
Documentary Practices in India, London, November 2011.

WCAA blog
The World Council of Anthropological Associations website -
<http://www.wcaanet.org/>http://www.wcaanet.org - has a blog, which can
potentially serve as a world forum for anthropologists to debate with one
another. There really aren't many such sites today, and we want to make
this such a site. So far, my students and I have written the blogs on the
site we haven't publicized it yet. But now that the quirks have been
ironed out, it's open to everyone. You can add comments to the site, or
even better, write your own blog, on any anthropological topic you choose,
and we'll put it on the site: just send it to me at
<mailto:cmgordon@cuhk.edu.hk>cmgordon@cuhk.edu.hk, and I'll put it on.
You can write on any anthropological topic at all, as long as it would be
of some interest to anthropologists beyond those of your own society. We
look forward to hearing from you! Writing in English is preferred, but we
are open to other languages as well. Please be in touch!
Best regards

Last Call Rappaport Prize Submissions

2012-01-11T08:47:00.000-07:00

Last Call Rappaport Prize Submissions

The Anthropology & Environment Section of AAA calls for abstract
submissions for the Annual Rappaport Student Panel and Prize. A Rappaport
Prize Panel Discussion will be held at the 2012 AAA meeting. Up to five
graduate students will be selected to present a paper in an A&E sponsored
session, and one of those selected will be awarded the Rappaport Student
Prize, which includes a $250 cash award. All five panelists (including the
Prize winner) will receive partial support for travel to the AAA meetings.
All of the selected panelists will be encouraged and guided by the A&E
Board to pursue publication in relevant journals.

Interested graduate students should submit a 500 word, single-authored
abstract Katja Neves (katja.neves_graca@me.com ) either as as a Microsoft
Word attachment, PDF, or Pages for Mac.

* If selected as a finalist, a student will be allowed only to present
in the Rappaport session (although serving as a discussant or organizer
for another session is allowed).

The deadline is January 16, 2012. A committee will select up to five
students to be invited to present a paper as part of the 2012 Rappaport
Prize Panel Discussion. Students will be notified by the committee
regarding decisions for the Student Panel in early February.

Those selected to present in the Discussion Panel will have until October
1, 2012 to write their full, article-length (up to 8000 words) papers.
Consideration for the Rappaport Prize will be based on these papers. The
papers should be written with the expectation that they will ultimately be
submitted for publication.

A&E members and audience will participate in a discussion after the paper
presentations. The Rappaport Prize winner, selected from among the
panelists, will be announced at the A&E Business Meeting.

The Rappaport Prize and Panel is part of a wider effort to improve the
mentoring process for graduate students as they pursue A&E related
careers. Participating provides an opportunity for students to receive
constructive feedback on their work by junior and senior scholars in the
A&E community.

Israeli Anthropological Association Annual conference CFP

2012-01-10T05:18:00.000-07:00

The 40th Annual Meeting of the Israeli Anthropological Association
The Max Stern Yezreel Valley College, 3-4 July 2012
"Culture?" Anthropological Perspectives
"Culture?" is the theme of the 40th Meeting of the Israeli Anthropological
Association. Over the past few decades, the use of culture as a main
theoretical concept in anthropology is no longer self-evident. Concepts
like "ontology" compete with it within anthropology. At the same time, it
has become a key term across multiple public and academic discussions on,
for example, "multi-cultural society", "culture wars", "cultural
proficiency", "high/low/popular culture", "digital culture," "cultural
heritage", and "cultural logics". In the 2012 Meeting of the Israeli
Anthropological Association, we seek to navigate between discussions about
culture as an apparently necessary theoretical construct in anthropology
and between culture as a social construct with popular, political,
academic and professional uses. We want to discuss how and to what degree
(or if at all) culture, as a term and a concept, can serve current
anthropology, and the anthropology of the contemporary emergent world. How
in particular has this concept served anthropology in Israel and
anthropology of Israel, and in what ways (or whether) it can do so in the
future. We want to ethnographically investigate its growing uses in the
public arena and in neighboring disciplines, asking who uses this term,
how, when and what for, and how is culture reified, objectified and
marketed in the process. We want to reflect on how (and whether) the
notion of culture has become a social fact for the public, while
anthropologists continue to debate its meaning and utility and consider
ways to qualify the term.

The Israeli Anthropological Association invites proposals for sessions --
and, in special cases, for single presentations* -- that engage with the
theme "Culture?" from anthropological perspectives, on the basis of
ethnographic research. We invite debate on the place, usages, meanings,
inventions, changes and politics of "culture" in the contemporary world,
in diverse anthropological research-fields, in applied anthropology, and
in the interfaces between cultural anthropology, other branches of
anthropology, other academic disciplines, and public discourse.

Call for Papers - ASA Panel: "Miraculous Wealth & Foreseeable Futures

2012-01-08T08:03:00.000-07:00

CALL FOR PAPERS

55th Annual Meeting of the African Studies Association

November 29th-December 1st, 2012, Philadelphia

Miraculous Riches & Foreseeable Futures:

Representations of Wealth and Pursuits of Value in Africa

Organizers:

George Paul Meiu (University of Chicago)

Joshua Z. Walker (University of Chicago)

The wealth that appears (and disappears) suddenly in social landscapes of
economic hardship has long fascinated those struggling to imagine and
produce livable futures. Ghostly riches with alluring surface appearances
have long constituted central idioms for the imagination of social and
economic value in Africa. At least since colonialism, the miraculous and
abrupt appearance of large houses and big bellies, stacked granaries and
overflowing bank accounts, Mercedes cars and private planes, dollars and
diamonds have triggered social anxieties and suspicions. Meanwhile, such
material signs of speedy enrichment were also fetishized indices of
concrete possibilities and foreseeable futures. With market liberalization
in Africa, narratives about quick wealth figure even more centrally in
everyday struggles to imagine durable forms of social reproduction and
value. For example, analyses of value and social reproduction since the
1980s have showed how structural adjustment programs and the undermining
of the stateâ™s redistributive capacities intensified and diversified
various kinds of speculative economies. Hence, while these economies have
long existed, the current historical moment â" where even the US dollar,
otherwise the emblem of stable value, has become ontologically uncertain
â" demands renewed attention. We aim to extend these earlier approaches
by analyzing the productive presence of miraculous wealth in social
reproduction under global capitalism in the twenty first century. Our
panel seeks to theorize the tensions at the heart of the production of
durability in its material, moral, and symbolic forms. At stake in this
exploration are the ways in which practices and objects are construed as
durable and thus bearing the capacity to secure certain forms of economic
production and social reproduction in the longue durÃ©e. Indeed, one of
the key questions facing Africans today is the chronic condition of
temporariness or lack of permanence in the attempts of African
postcolonial subjects to create stability (or a sense of it) amidst
uncertainty.

How do rapid riches figure in the speculative economies of contemporary
Africa? What kinds of futures, temporalities, and pathways of social
reproduction are at stake in âœmiraculousâ wealth creation? How do
particular kinds of practices, objects, or knowledge become construed as
âœdurableâ or enduring? How does miraculous wealth generate notions of
un/durability of value and of ir/responsible social reproduction? What is
the relationship between representations of and practices surrounding
miraculous wealth? How are different attempts to create enduring wealth
and value morally evaluated in everyday life? How do people read the
surface appearances of wealth as a way to represent the moral significance
of their actions to themselves and others?

Please submit abstracts of no more than 250 words to George Paul Meiu
(meiu@uchicago.edu) or Joshua Z. Walker (jdwalker@uchicago.edu) by
February 1, 2012.

2nd Call for Papers - PAAA 2012 Conference, NAIROBI, Kenya

2012-01-08T08:01:00.000-07:00

INSTITUTE OF ANTHROPOLOGY, GENDER AND AFRICAN STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF
NAIROBI, in collaboration with the
PAN-AFRICAN ANTHROPOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (PAAA)
2nd CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
13th ¡V 14th AUGUST 2012, NAIROBI, KENYA
A decade ago, over 119 Heads of State and Government met in New York and
examined the state of the world. The meeting identified key goals, the
Millennium Development Goals, and set 2015 as the benchmark to reverse and
eliminate disparities. Since then, Africa has made little progress towards
achieving the targets. In fact, Africa has remained worse off, than it was
in 2000. For example, maternal and child mortality has become worse than
it was in 1999. To address some of the policy and academic concerns around
these issues, the Institute of Anthropology, Gender and African Studies of
the University of Nairobi in collaboration with the Pan-African
Anthropological Association (PAAA) is organising a conference to
deliberate on these issues. The conference will bring together
Anthropologists and policy makers to discuss anthropology and the MDGs.
The meeting will explore the challenges Africa is facing in making
progress towards the set targets. In particular, emphasis will be on the
Role of Anthropology in addressing or alleviating the challenges.
We invite abstracts from anthropologists and policy makers for papers to
be presented at the Conference. In keeping with the proposed theme, the
Conference papers will focus on the following:
ƒ¯ Maternal and Child Health: Socio-cultural dimensions of Maternal and
child health in Africa; Anthropology of fertility reduction and child
health; culture, family planning and population policies; changing
marriage patterns and maternal health, health and socio-economic
consequences of adolescent fertility.
ƒ¯ Gender Disparities and Women¡¦s Empowerment: The Gender ideology in
contemporary African setting; Gender-power relations in a dynamic
socio-political African environment, Female Genital Cutting; The politics
and economics of body image in Africa; Sexuality and sexual identity in
Africa.
ƒ¯ HIV, Malaria and Other Diseases: The cultural context of HIV in Africa;
The Socio-cultural context of malaria prevention; Health as social
context; Culture and health-seeking in Africa; Plural healthcare systems.
ƒ¯ Environmental Sustainability and Natural Resources Management: The
politics of natural resources and environmental management; Indigenous
knowledge and the management of natural resources; Participation of
indigenous peoples in the management of terrestrial and marine resources;
Anthropological perspectives on climate change and biodiversity loss in
Africa; Biodiversity and its importance to local communities.
ƒ¯ Poverty and Hunger: Causes of extreme poverty in Africa; The
socio-economic aspects of food production in Africa; Redefining the
culture of food production, distribution and consumption; Anthropological
perspectives of food security in Africa; Social welfare and poverty in
Africa.
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: The deadline for submission of abstracts
is 29th February 2012. The abstracts should not be more than 200 words and
in the English language. The abstracts will be reviewed and the authors of
accepted abstracts will be notified by 30th March 2012.
SUBMISSION OF PAPERS: Accepted papers are due on 30th June 2012.

Abstract

With a focus on Israel's occupation policies around material borders I
examine the current dialogue dynamics between Israeli and Palestinian
woman (in comparison to the years of the first intifada) to contextualize
the current Palestinian-feminist boycott of Israeli-Palestinian feminist
peace dialogues. I combine a series of interviews conducted with
Palestinian and Israeli women between 2007 and 2009 with a discursive
analysis of the film To Die in Jerusalem and a published academic dialogue
between Nahla Abdo and Ronit Lentin to explore the ways in which the
interview responses from Palestinian women reflect "live" dialogue
dynamics between Israeli and Palestinian women. The study of these
dialogues show that Palestinian women are often interpellated into narrow
points of entry when it comes to dialoguing with Israeli women.
Palestinian women are often asked to speak within the terms of an "event"
(such "Cast Lead"), through concepts of the unity of womanhood
extrapolated from community and through pedagogies of "good motherhood."
These points of entry act as pedagogical moments and reflect dynamics of
Orientalist/colonial feminist movements. As a result, even among critical
feminist dialogues, Palestinian women become the receivers of questions
and interrogation. Such dynamics are paralleled by the conditions of
Israeli-imposed material borders where movement Eastward is more possible
than it is Westward. As a result a comprehensive Palestinian boycott of
feminist dialogues (pertaining to the hegemonic Israeli feminist movement)
has emerged. Simultaneously, however, Palestinian women are taking back
dialogue by attempting to set their own criteria for transnational and
international feminist dialogues and their contents. While material and
discursive disparities in power precede possibilities for fair dialogue
between Israeli and Palestinian women, I argue that there is some hopeful
agency in these new developments.

CALL FOR PAPERS
(version in French follows below)
Canadian Association of African Studies/
Association canadienne des études africaines

Africa in transformation: Africa of individuals, Africa of generations

Laval University
Quebec, Canada
2-4 May 2012

The Canadian Association of African Studies (CAAS) extends a special
invitation to all scholars and professionals working on all aspects of
African Studies for its next annual conference to be held on May 2-4,
2012, at Université Laval in Québec City, Canada. The meeting will be
hosted by the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Social Sciences with
support from Laval University, the two Faculties, the Groupe
Interuniversitaire d'Études et de Recherches sur les Sociétés Africaines
(GIERSA), the Observatoire Démographique et Statistique de l'Espace
Francophone (ODSEF), and the Chaire de recherche du Canada en littératures
africaines et Francophonie. Our aim is to attract an international group
of specialists at all stages in their careers for discussion and dialogue
in both of Canada's official languages, across disciplines, and between
scholars and professionals based in both the North and South.

In recent times African societies have experienced tremendous changes,
whether the dimension be social, economic, demographic, political,
media-related, cultural, or religious. This conference aims to explore, in
both French and English, the many facets of these mutations at the level
of individuals as well as at the level of social groups such as
generations, and in the varied contexts of self-affirmation, the
restructuring or erosion of political arrangements, economic crisis,
social tension, affirmation of religious identities, and cultural
pluralism. In the tradition of CAAS, the conference hopes to inspire
interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary inquiry as well as perspectives
over the longue durée.

To be sure, the conference will welcome papers on all topics, but three
major themes may serve to guide reflection about the dramatic changes in
Africa raised in the preceding paragraph:
Theme 1: Observation of the relationships between younger and older
people, men and women, social classes, and generations in order to analyze
the origins of tensions, negotiations as well as the often complex
strategies that lead to cooperation. This theme privileges consideration
of the internal dynamics of African societies and encourages the
reexamination of other classic themes—the power of gerontocracy, the role
of youth as either dependents of their elders or fomenters of violence, or
the situation of women as prisoners of social inferiority.
Theme 2: Analysis of how African societies, as illustrated through the
lives of famous people as well as the not-so-famous and family dynamics
both within and between generations, arrived at ways of responding to or
even resisting the numerous challenges posed by slave trades, diverse
imperialisms, decolonizations, political autocracies, democratic
transitions and their diverse evolutions, and changes in the face of
globalization;
Theme 3: Review considerations of the different forms of participation in
social and public life, and the variety of forms of civic mobilization—of
individuals, social groups, and generations in times of severe political
and socioeconomic crisis. Such an approach encourages reflection about the
varied ways that people and groups position themselves regarding
individualization or community or the two taken together. It also promotes
analysis of the emergence of various forms of socialization and
sociability which may give rise to solidarity. Finally, it allows study of
how these forms of participation are expressed—in the mass media, popular
culture, and arts and literature.

The Canadian Association of African Studies and its journal, the Canadian
Journal of African Studies have long served as important platforms for
scholarship on Africa. As such, and in addition to the more focused themes
elaborated above, the conference welcomes papers on a broad range of
topics and themes related to the continent, both disciplinary and
interdisciplinary. Hence the meeting will be an occasion to share, in both
French and English, research on topics such as the state in Africa, civil
society, migrations, the slave trades, Africa in the international arena,
conflicts within the continent, linguistic practice, religious dynamics,
and so on. In keeping with the bilingual nature of CAAS, paper and panel
proposals in French are particularly welcomed.

The deadline for submitting paper proposals and panel proposals is January
10, 2012. Proposals for individual papers should be 150-200 words, while
panel proposals should be 200-250 words. For information on submitting
paper and panel abstracts, conference registration payment (on-line or by
cheque), requests for funding for graduate students in Canada, as well as
information regarding accommodations please send an e-mail to
caasacea@carleton.ca and go to CAAS site which will be updated regularly:
http://ocs.sfu.ca/caas/index.php/caas/conf2012

The organizing committee, the Executive Committee of the association, and
all of its members look forward to welcoming you at Laval University in
Quebec City in May 2012.

APPEL À COMMUNICATIONS

L'Afrique en mutations :
l'Afrique des individus, l'Afrique des générations

Association canadienne des études africaines/
Canadian Association of African Studies

Université Laval
Québec, Canada
Du 2 au 4 mai 2012

L'Association canadienne des études africaines (ACÉA) lance une invitation
toute spéciale aux chercheurs et professionnels travaillant sur les
différents aspects des études africaines pour sa prochaine conférence
annuelle. Celle-ci se tiendra du 2 au 4 mai 2012, à l'Université Laval,
Québec, Canada et sera accueillie par la Faculté des Lettres et la Faculté
des Sciences sociales avec le soutien notamment de l'Université Laval, de
ces deux Facultés, du Groupe Interuniversitaire d'Études et de Recherches
sur les sociétés africaines (GIERSA), de l'Observatoire démographique et
statistique de l'espace francophone (ODSEF) et de la Chaire de recherche
du Canada en littératures africaines et Francophonie. Notre but est de
faire aussi se rencontrer les chercheurs et les étudiants du Sud comme du
Nord, afin de favoriser, par delà les frontières disciplinaires les débats
dans les deux langues officielles du Canada.

En Afrique, les sociétés ont connu jusqu'à aujourd'hui des mutations
majeures, tant aux plans social, économique, démographique, politique,
médiatique, culturel que religieux. À cette conférence, seront explorées,
en français et en anglais, les multiples facettes de ces mutations en
confrontant des réalités sociales tant à l'échelle de l'individu, des
groupes sociaux que des générations et ce, à travers des contextes
d'affirmation, de restructuration ou d'érosion du Politique, de crises
économiques, de tensions sociales, d'affirmation du religieux ou de
foisonnement culturel. La conférence s'inscrit résolument dans une
perspective pluridisciplinaire voire interdisciplinaire et sur la longue
durée.

Trois axes principaux, mais non exclusifs, pourront guider les réflexions :
Axe 1 : observer les rapports entres jeunes et aînés, entre femmes et
hommes, entre classes sociales et entre générations afin d'analyser la
mise en œuvre de tensions, de négociations voire des stratégies complexes
de coopération. Ceci permettra notamment de rendre compte des dynamiques
internes des sociétés africaines, de revisiter les schémas classiques de
la gérontocratie, de l'image d'une jeunesse sacrifiée ou violente, de
l'image de la femme enfermée dans des situations d'infériorité sociale;
Axe 2 : analyser comment les sociétés africaines, à travers des
itinéraires individuels de personnes illustres ou non, des dynamiques
familiales, intra et intergénérationnelles, ont su répondre, résister
voire s'adapter aux défis de la traite, des impérialismes, des
décolonisations, des autoritarismes politiques, des transitions
démocratiques et de ses évolutions contrastées et de la mondialisation ;
Axe 3 : rendre compte des différentes formes de participation à la vie
sociale et publique, de mobilisation citoyenne des individus, des groupes
sociaux et des générations dans des moments de crises politiques et
socioéconomiques aigües. Ceci permettra, d'une part, de réfléchir sur des
postures en lien avec l'individualisation, celles en lien avec la
communauté et celles à la jonction des deux d'autre part, d'analyser les
formes de socialisation, de sociabilité voire de solidarité qui peuvent en
émerger et enfin, d'étudier les différentes façons dont ces participations
s'expriment à travers les médias de masse, la culture populaire, les arts
et la littérature.

L'ACÉA et sa revue Revue canadienne des études africaines ont depuis
toujours constitué des plateformes importantes pour les travaux sur le
continent africain. Dans l'objectif de regrouper toutes les recherches sur
les questions africaines, cette conférence accueillera ainsi des
communications sur un large éventail de sujets, avec des approches
disciplinaires ou interdisciplinaires. C'est ainsi que la conférence sera
l'occasion de partager, en français et en anglais, des recherches sur
divers sujets tels que sur l'État en Afrique, la société civile, les
migrations, les traites, l'Afrique dans les relations internationales, les
conflits en Afrique, les dynamiques religieuses, les pratiques langagières
etc. Reflétant la nature bilingue de l'ACÉA, les propositions de
communications et d'ateliers en français sont particulièrement les
bienvenues.

La date limite d'envoi des résumés des communications (150-200 mots) et
des panels (200-250 mots) est le 10 janvier 2012. Pour les informations
relatives à l'envoi des résumés, à l'organisation des panels, à
l'inscription (en ligne ou par chèque), aux demandes d'aide financière
pour les étudiants inscrits dans une université canadienne et à
l'hébergement, envoyez un courriel à caasacea@carleton.ca et consultez le
site http://ocs.sfu.ca/caas/index.php/caas/conf2012 qui sera régulièrement
mis à jour.

Le comité d'organisation, le comité exécutif de l'association et tous ses
membres se font d'ores et déjà une joie de vous recevoir à l'Université
Laval, à Québec, en mai 2012.

Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research

Canada's research granting agencies—Canadian Institutes of Health
Research (CIHR), Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of
Canada (NSERC), and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of
Canada (SSHRC)—are committed to fostering and maintaining an
environment that supports and promotes the responsible conduct of
research. On December 5, 2011, the Agencies officially launched the
new Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research. This new
Framework sets out the responsibilities and corresponding policies for
researchers, institutions, and the Agencies that together help support
and promote a positive research environment.

Implementing a Schedule for the Retention of Information on ResearchNet

Please be advised that a schedule for the retention of ResearchNet
data will be implemented as follows, effective December 10th, 2011:
•All submitted application activities and documents will be retained
for one year after the application decision has been released.
•All withdrawn applications will be retained for one year after
decisions for the competition have been posted.
•All incomplete and non-submitted applications will be retained for
three months after the competition deadline date.
•All review activities and documents will be retained for eighteen
months after the decisions for the application have been posted.
•All decision and post-decisions activities and documents will be
retained for eighteen months after the related application decisions.

Information on the Retention Schedule will be permanently available on
the ResearchNet homepage. Should users of ResearchNet wish to keep any
documents for future reference, we suggest that they download the PDF
(Portable Document Format) of the documents to another storage area
(e.g., the hard drive of a personal computer).

ICES Applied Health Research Questions

The Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) is inviting all
Ontario organizations that are users of research evidence (Knowledge
Users) to submit Applied Health Research Questions (AHRQs). An AHRQ is
a question posed by a health system Knowledge User in order to request
research evidence that can be applied to, improve or benefit the
Ontario health system. Institutes, centres and projects funded by the
Planning, Research and Analysis Branch of the Ministry of Health and
Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) provide responses to AHRQs to inform planning,
policy and program development, which in turn helps strengthen the
Ontario health system.

Three types of AHRQs may be requested:
1. Rapid response – Preliminary information will be delivered in one
week or less providing a "first blush" response.
2. Research report or technical brief – Approximately 4-8 weeks of
work will be required to synthesize the existing research evidence on
a given topic.
3. Research project – Where it has been confirmed that new knowledge
must be generated, i.e., existing knowledge is not sufficient for
planning or policy development requirements; a new research project
will be initiated. The duration may be months, or years, depending on
the project.

Please submit any comments, inquiries and your completed Knowledge
User AHRQ Request Form to: Dorina Simeonov

ICES will be accepting Knowledge User AHRQ Request Forms (pp. 2-3 in
MOHLTC AHRQ Templates attached) for Research Reports, Technical Briefs
and Research Projects semi-annually, with the first deadline extension
coming up on January 13, 2012. Rapid response requests can be
submitted at any time and another call for research projects will be
sent out in April, 2012, with a deadline of April 13, 2012.

Reporting Guidelines for Equity-relevant Systematic Reviews - Complete
Our Survey

The Campbell and Cochrane Equity Methods Group invites you to complete
a survey on the need for reporting guidelines for equity-relevant
systematic reviews. We have identified a significant gap in reporting
effectiveness of interventions for poor and vulnerable populations in
systematic reviews. One way to improve reporting of facets of specific
importance to systematic reviews reporting on inequities is to develop
specific reporting guidelines, for example, by extending or amplifying
the PRISMA statement (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews
and Meta-Analyses). Currently PRISMA has no guidance specific to
health equity and we are now in the process of developing an equity
extension to PRISMA. We invite you to complete our survey on this
extension – open for responses until January 5th, 2012. For more
information visit our website or blogs: Speaking of Medicine
(PLoSMed), and BMJ.

Cadre de référence des trois organismes sur la conduite responsable de
la recherche

Les organismes subventionnaires fédéraux, à savoir les Instituts de
recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC), le Conseil de recherches en
sciences naturelles et en génie du Canada (CRSNG) et le Conseil de
recherches en sciences humaines du Canada (CRSH), se sont engagés à
mettre en place et à maintenir un environnement qui encourage et
favorise la conduite responsable de la recherche. Le 5 décembre 2011,
ils ont officiellement lancé le nouveau Cadre de référence des trois
organismes sur la conduite responsable de la recherche (Cadre de
référence). Le Cadre de référence est un document général qui décrit
les politiques et les exigences des organismes liées à la demande de
fonds, à la gestion des fonds accordés, à l'exécution des travaux de
recherche et à la diffusion des résultats. Il décrit également les
processus que les établissements et les organismes suivent pour
examiner les allégations de violation de la politique des organismes.

Établissement d'un calendrier pour la conservation de l'information
dans RechercheNet

Veuillez prendre note qu'un calendrier de conservation des données
dans RechercheNet entrera en vigueur le 10 décembre 2011 :

Sondage - Lignes Directrices pour l'équité pertinentes les revues
systématiques

L'équité Campbell et Cochrane méthodes de groupe vous invite à
remplir un sondage sur la nécessité de rendre les lignes directrices
pour l'équité pertinentes analyses systématiques. Nous avons identifié
une lacune importante dans les rapports efficacité des interventions
pour les populations pauvres et vulnérables dans les examens
systématiques. Une façon d'améliorer la déclaration des facettes d'une
importance particulière à l'examen systématique des rapports sur les
inégalités est de développer des lignes directrices précises de
déclaration, par exemple, en étendant ou amplifiant la déclaration
PRISMA (Articles rapports préférés pour les revues systématiques et
les méta-analyses). Actuellement PRISMA a pas de directives
spécifiques pour l'équité en santé et nous sommes maintenant dans le
processus d'élaboration d'une extension d'équité à Prisma. Nous vous
invitons à remplir notre sondage sur cette extension - ouvert jusqu'en
Janvier réponses 5th, 2012. Pour plus d'informations visitez notre
site Web ou des blogs: Speaking of Medicine (PLoSMed), et BMJ.

Tier 2 CRC in human rights and social justice

2011-12-16T13:14:00.000-07:00

Canada Research Chair in Human Rights and Social Justice
Assistant or Associate Professor, Faculty of Arts

Located in the thriving, multicultural city of Winnipeg, the
University of Manitoba offers students and faculty a vibrant learning
community, exceptional facilities and the chance to explore ideas,
challenge assumptions and turn theory into reality. Our researchers
are among the best in the world, finding new ways to protect the
environment, improve human health, advance technology and strengthen
communities in Canada and beyond. With more than 30,000 students,
faculty, and staff, and over 90 degree programs, the University of
Manitoba plays a key role in the social, cultural, and economic
well-being of our community and our world.

The University of Manitoba is accepting applications and nominations
for Canada Research Chairs (CRCs) established by the Government of
Canada to enable Canadian universities to foster research excellence
(www.chairs-chaires.gc.ca). The University is committed in its
Strategic Plan to enhance academic initiatives in the area of human
rights
(http://www.umanitoba.ca/admin/president/strategic_plan/index.html).
Accordingly, the University has established a Centre for Human Rights
Research to enhance interdisciplinary and collaborative research
capacities, to provide enhanced training opportunities for students,
and to promote advancements in public policy and intellectual debate
on issues of human rights, law, and social justice. Position Number:
10974
A central feature of the mission of the Faculty of Arts is to conduct
research in the humanities and social sciences in order for both to
advance and preserve knowledge in these areas and to provide the
highly trained personnel that are required in an increasingly
specialized society. It is home to 18 social sciences and humanities
departments and units, as well as ten Interdisciplinary programs.
Further information concerning the Department, the Faculty, and the
University may be obtained from http://www.umanitoba.ca/arts. The
Faculty welcomes applications from all researchers engaged in human
rights or social justice research in either the humanities or social
sciences. Applicants whose research intersects multiple disciplines
are particularly welcome.
The University of Manitoba is the province's largest, most
comprehensive post-secondary educational institution. More than 28,000
students from all over the world currently study in a wide range of
programs in the liberal arts and sciences, the creative arts, and the
professions. Research is a priority at the University of Manitoba and
the success of its faculty in securing substantial research support in
national/international competitions attests to this fact.
Winnipeg is a mature city of some 700,000 people that combines the
amenities of urban life with easy access to the countryside and to
northern lakes and forests. A short trip outside of Winnipeg reveals
the geographic diversity of Manitoba, with ample opportunities for
many leisure activities (www.tourismwinnipeg.com). The city offers a
vibrant arts community, affordable housing by North American
standards, diverse cultural institutions, festivals, and entertainment
possibilities. Winnipeg is also home to the Canadian Museum of Human
Rights.
This posting advertises a Tier 2 CRC Chair position in Human Rights
and Social Justice to be held in the Faculty of Arts. This posting is
open to all disciplines in Arts, and the home unit will be one of
those currently based in the Faculty of Arts. The successful candidate
should have a record of substantial publication in an outstanding and
innovative research program in human rights and/or social justice, and
the ability to attract excellent graduate students. Applications
including significant applied research contributions to human rights
and social justice are expressly welcomed. Tier 2 CRCs are
"exceptional emerging researchers" who at an early phase of their
careers (i.e., within 10 years of completing their PhD) have
demonstrated the promise of a strong research profile and the
potential to be leaders in their field. The candidate selected for
this position will be required to work with the proposed home
department or unit and the Faculty to prepare the formal nomination to
the CRC Secretariat according to CRC program guidelines.
The appointment, contingent upon the successful CRC nomination,
commencing July 1, 2013, will be a full-time probationary position at
the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. Rank and salary will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience. Tier 2 CRC positions
are for five-year terms, and are renewable once. For the duration of
the CRC, the successful candidate will be granted reduced teaching
responsibilities.
The University of Manitoba is strongly committed to diversity within

À INSCRIRE À VOTRE AGENDA

FÉMINISME ET CHANGEMENT SOCIAL
Enjeux et défis pour
l'action et la recherche féministes

Colloque interdisciplinaire
Université Laval, Québec
20-25 mai 2012

Bien que des progrès indéniables aient été accomplis grâce au mouvement
féministe, il faut beaucoup de naïveté ou d'ignorance pour s'imaginer que
l'égalité dans les rapports entre les sexes est « déjà là », où que ce
soit dans le monde présentement. Le changement social n'est jamais une
simple évolution positive, linéaire, prévisible; il comporte des
contradictions, des paradoxes et parfois carrément des reculs, car il est
l'objet de résistances et de luttes de pouvoir.

Pour sa 10 édition, l'Université féministe d'été vous invite à une semaine
de réflexion et d'échanges avec des féministes oeuvrant à l'échelle
locale, régionale et/ou internationale, dans divers domaines, champs de
spécialisation et disciplines.

RÉSUMÉ

Une race qui ne sait pas mourir
Cette communication aborde la représentation de l'Amérindien dans deux
romans québécois de grand renom : Menaud, maître-draveur (1937) de
Félix-Antoine Savard et Ashini (1960) d'Yves Thériault. Si ces deux romans
semblent faire preuve d'une certaine sensibilité par rapport aux
adversités aborigènes, j'avance dans cette présentation que les auteurs
tentent de résoudre le problème posé par l'Amérindien à l'identité
québécoise en « jouant à l'Indien » , c'est-à-dire, en déguisant
symboliquement le Québec en costume indigène. L'Indianité de ces romans
est avant tout fantasmé par une mise en valeur d'une certaine
hypervirilité qui vient appuyer un récit racial. On néglige, règle
générale, de reconnaître la contradiction fondamentale entre le mythe de
la survivance française en Amérique, « une race qui ne sait pas mourir »,
et celui de la disparition autochtone, qui relève d'une rhétorique pour le
moins douteuse.

AAAPS Panel - Touring Pacific Cultures - Final Call

2011-12-12T14:06:00.000-07:00

Subject: AAAPS Panel - Touring Pacific Cultures - Final Call

Dear All,
Kalissa Alexeyeff and I wish to finalize our panel on Touring Pacific
Cultures, which is to be held at the University of Wollongong on April
12-14, 2012. For anyone who would like to join us at the conference,
we heartily invite you to send us a title and brief abstract by the
end of this week. The panel themes are as follows:
Panel Title: Touring Pacific Cultures
Co-convenors: Kalissa Alexeyeff k.alexeyeff@unimelb.edu.au and John
Taylor john.taylor@latrobe.edu.au
This panel explores new directions in understanding how culture is
defined, produced, experienced and sustained across tourism-related
contexts. In particular, we ask, how is cultural value, ownership,
performance and commodification negotiated and experienced in actual
lived practice? Tourism is vital to the economies of most Pacific
nations and as such is an important site for the meaningful production
of shared and disputed cultural values and practices. This panel
invites participants to consider the link between culture and tourism
in terms of the critical intersection of three key themesâ"mobility,
engagement and value. This thematic triad signals our desire to push
both methodological and analytic visions beyond the divisive
standpoints of academic cultural critique and
industry/development-related economic concerns, such as have
characterized the vast majority of previous approaches within tourism
studies internationally. Instead we seek to pursue the cross-currents
of culture and tourism as vital sites in the meaningful production of
localized, mobile and dynamic value.

Possible topics could include (but are not limited to):
â¢
Issues of' ownership and copyright (infrastructure, land, cultural
performances, objects and knowledge).
â¢
Commodification (the significance of exchange value, its centrality in
debates about authenticity).
â¢
How tourism shapes cross-cultural understandings of work and leisure,
notions of economic development and culture difference more generally.
â¢
Tourism as a crucial site for the meaningful engagement of strategies
towards personal livelihood, community development and the sustainability
of cultural heritage.
â¢
Local tourism (such as the return of Pacific Islanders who live abroad to
home islands for holidays).
â¢
The performance of culture across tourism-related and non-tourist
settings.
â¢
Transnational or trans-local cultural performances and festivals.

Onderwerp: Open Letter to the European Commission on Socio-economic
Sciences and Humanities research in the new FP, 2014-2020

Dear colleagues,

With this message we would like to invite you to sign an Open Letter
addressed to the European Commissioner for Research and
Innovation(http://www.eash.eu/openletter2011/), which highlights some
of the vital insights that Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities
(SSH) can contribute to addressing Europe's and the world's Grand
Societal Challenges.
Kindly circulate this invitation to sign also across your
institutions, and through your networks, projects and subject
associations.

First results of this initiative to strengthen the SSH-component in
"Horizon 2020" were presented to Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn on 10
November 2011. During a ½ day symposium on the role of SSH in "Horizon
2020" in London, the Commissioner expressed her appreciation for the
mobilisation of the community towards strengthening the SSH domain in
the new Framework Programme (
http://www.allea.org/Content/ALLEA/SSH/Speech-Commissioner-09-11-11.pdf
).
Following this successful exchange, we shall interact next (after 20
November ) with lawmakers in the European Parliament and national
political authorities.For we must bear in mind that in the past the
SSH-related Framework Programme component has been, time and again, in
danger of being eliminated at the end of negotiations between national
governments, the European Parliament and the Commission; also, the
size of the budget accessible for SSH-researchers is as yet far from
being secured.
It would therefore be useful to collect further support from a large
cross-section of the SSH- and SSH-related research communities. After
20 November we shall do a first analysis of the signatures received
and publicise the results obtained that far through a press release
informing also MEP's as well as national governments and
parliamentarians.

In view of legislative decisions to be taken on the next
100-Billion-worth EU Framework Programme Horizon 2020 (2014-2020), the
letter stresses the necessity for a varied and strong research
programme in the Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH). It
would be tantamount to undermining the EU strategy to develop
innovative, inclusive and sustainable societies, were there
insufficient funding in Horizon 2020 for research areas such as
cultural change, demography, education, the economy and globalisation,
identity politics and social cohesion, poverty relief and global
governance and many others. For background information on these
matters see: http://www.eash.eu/openletter2011/

The Open Letter initiative has grown out of deliberations among a
number of European umbrella organisations in the area of SSH, and
seeks to bring to the attention of the European Commission and
national governments the concerns of the largest research community in
Europe.

If you agree, that a substantial and independent SSH-centered research
programme should be included in all future European Framework
Programmes, we invite you to sign the Open Letter online at
http://www.eash.eu/openletter2011/. Kindly circulate this invitation
to sign also across your institutions, and through your networks,
projects and subject associations.

Thank you in advance for signing and for supporting this initiative.

[DETAILED CFP]

Le but du colloque est de comprendre le gouvernement des villes, et
pas seulement des grandes villes, dans le monde arabe et musulman à la
lumière des évolutions politiques actuelles et des défis urbains.
Cette manifestation scientifique s'inscrit dans la continuité du
colloque GREMMO-IFPO « Les grandes villes de Syrie dans la
mondialisation », tenu à Alep en mars 2010, avec le soutien du Grand
Lyon et de la municipalité d'Alep.

This conference aims to explore the government of cities, and not only
big cities, in the Arab and Muslim world, in light of the recent
political uprisings and the challenges of urbanization. This event
follows on the 'Major Syrian Cities' Conference organized by the
GREMMO-IFPO, in Aleppo (March 2010), with the support of the
municipalities of Aleppo and Lyon.

Excepté au Yémen, les citadins sont désormais largement majoritaires
dans le monde arabe. Le taux d'urbanisation est passé de 25% en 1950 à
70% en 2010. Les pays du Golfe possèdent des taux d'urbanisation
record (plus de 90% de leur population) car la manne pétrolière a
provoqué une mutation rapide de ces sociétés bédouines qui sont
aujourd'hui complètement urbanisées et mondialisées. Dans la plupart
des pays arabes, les taux d'urbanisation officiels sont bien souvent
inférieurs à la réalité, ce qui traduit justement le malaise de
nombreux régimes arabes par rapport à la gestion des villes et leur
relative incompréhension face aux mouvements sociaux qui s'y produisent.

Except in Yemen, city-dwellers constitute the vast majority of total
population in the Arab world. The urbanization rate has risen from 25%
in 1950 to 70% in 2010. The Gulf countries have been rapidly
transformed by oil income, from primarily Bedouin societies to some of
the densest rates of urbanization in the world, exceeding 90%. They
are currently completely urbanized and globalized. In many Arab
countries, officially recognized urbanization rates are lower than
real rates, which may reflect the malaise of numerous Arab regimes
over urban management, and explain some of their lack of understanding
of social mobilizations in their cities.

Les grandes villes sont confrontées à des problèmes de gestion
considérables en termes de services urbains, d'extension des quartiers
informels, de pollution, de prolifération des espaces du commerce,
etc. que les municipalités en place ne parviennent pas à résoudre pour
diverses raisons, notamment institutionnelles et que ce colloque devra
mettre en évidence. Nous discuterons ainsi l'hypothèse selon laquelle
l'autoritarisme politique dénie ou obère l'exercice de pouvoirs
municipaux qui sont indispensables pour gérer la complexité urbaine
contemporaine, surtout dans les métropoles.

The big cities and metropolises are faced with management challenges
related to urban services, growth of informal settlements, pollution,
and the multiplication of commercial spaces. One of the objectives of
this conference is to discuss and clarify the difficulties, especially
institutional ones, that municipal authorities have in confronting
those challenges. We suggest the following hypothesis: authoritarian
regimes hinder and deny the exercise of municipal powers that are
fundamental for managing contemporary urban complexity, in particular
in major cities.

Le mouvement de « révolte » dans le monde arabe marque un refus de
l'autoritarisme et une exigence de prendre son destin en main. Or, le
premier stade de la démocratisation affecte la municipalité, où il est
beaucoup plus difficile de changer les pratiques d'un Etat. Dans ce
cadre, l'Union Européenne a financé des projets nationaux de
modernisation des municipalités dans plusieurs pays de la rive sud de
la Méditerranée (tel que le Programme de Modernisation de
l'Administration municipale en Syrie). La coopération décentralisée ou
certaines politiques arabes de décentralisation (Maroc) s'inscrivent
également dans ce projet (et discours) politique(s) de renforcement de
l'autonomie locale.

The so-called 'Arab revolts' represent a refusal of authoritarianism
and a demand for self-determination. The democratization process
affects municipal government, a sphere in which it is difficult to
change the practices of the State. Bearing this in mind, the European
Union has funded municipal modernization projects in several countries
in the South and East Mediterranean zone (for instance, the Programme
of Modernization of the municipal administration in Syria).
Development cooperation lead by cities or regions as opposed to
national governments (what in France is called 'la coopération
décentralisée'), as well as some Arab political reforms of
decentralization (e.g. Morocco) participate in this project and
discourse of increased local autonomy.

Le premier objectif du colloque est de faire un état des lieux de la
diversité du gouvernement des villes dans le monde arabe et musulman,
d'identifier les différents acteurs, leurs pouvoirs respectifs et leur
marge de manoeuvre : ainsi, les « élus locaux » ; les cadres
techniques et autres « experts » des municipalités ; les promoteurs
(nationaux ou entreprises internationales) ; les sociétés privées
mandatées dans le cadre de contrat de gestion déléguée ; les
associations ou ONG (défense du patrimoine, protection de
l'environnement, associations d'habitants, etc.) promues dans
l'application d'un discours sur la « bonne gouvernance » ; les
collectifs protestataires de citoyens ordinaires (souvent constitués
en réaction à une politique publique de privatisation d'accès à un
service ou d'expulsion) ; les notabilités marchandes... et bien sûr
l'Etat.

The first purpose of the conference is to get an overview of the
diversity of urban governance in the Arab and Muslim World and to
identity the different actors, their powers, and limits on their
agency. These actors include local elected representatives,
consultants, real estate developers (national or international), firms
contracted under Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), and citizens'
associations and NGOs (involved in environmental protection,
preservation of cultural heritage, etc), protest groups of ordinary
citizens, prominent business people... and obviously State
representantives.

Comment ces différentes catégories d'acteurs interagissent, se
chevauchent, se concurrencent ? Constate-t-on l'affirmation de
nouveaux acteurs et, inversement le déclassement de notabilités «
anciennes » comme par exemple les commerçants ? Ou le pouvoir de ces
derniers se maintient-il localement à travers le contrôle des places
marchandes informelles, la maîtrise de la circulation transnationale
de marchandises ou leur participation au développement des nouveaux
espaces urbains du commerce (supermarchés, shopping mall) ? A
l'occasion des troubles urbains contemporains, notamment depuis
l'hiver 2010, on a vu la (ré) apparition de « comités de quartier »
(Tunis, Le Caire) composés d'hommes jeunes pour la défense d'îlots
résidentiels : peut-on y lire une rémanence de systèmes médiévaux de
contrôle urbain, ancrés sur des liens de voisinage ?

How are these different categories of actors interacting, overlapping,
and competing? Do we observe the emergence of new actors and the
decline of old elites? For instance, do the former merchant classes
still maintain power through the control of informal market places,
their involvement in the transnational circulation of goods, or in the
promotion of new urban commercial spaces? With the recent urban
'revolts' of 2011, we have been witnessing the renewal of
'neighbourhood committees,' often composed of youth, who take charge
of the security of some urban quarters (Tunis, Cairo). Does such a
situation revive the historic system of privately managing urban
matters on the neighbourhood level?

Quelles variantes peut-on déceler dans le gouvernement urbain en
fonction de la situation géographique, de l'activité économique
dominante, de la trajectoire historico-politique de la ville ?

Urban management and the makeup of local power depend on numerous
variables that we will try to highlight, like the location, the main
economic activity, the political and historical trajectory of a city.

A l'échelle de l'agglomération, certains quartiers, souvent
périphériques, peuvent-ils être qualifiés de nouvelles centralités de
pouvoir et de commandement ? Qu'en est-il de la gestion des ensembles
résidentiels fermés (gated communities) ?

At the scale of the whole city, are there some parts or quarters,
especially peripheral one's, that can be considered as new central
spaces of power and decision-making? What can be said of gated
communities?

Le second objectif du colloque est d'identifier les processus sur le
court et le long terme. Comment évolue le gouvernement des villes et
les pouvoirs qui s'exercent sur elles, depuis le début de l'époque
islamique ? A titre d'exemple : entre le modèle de développement
urbain préconisé par l'Europe et celui venu du Golfe à travers les
méga-projets immobiliers qui émergent dans les capitales du monde
arabe et musulman (cf. Abdali à Amman, les berges du Lac à Tunis, la
Marina de Casablanca, les souks et la future Marina de Beyrouth,
etc.), lequel semble l'emporter ?

The second purpose of the conference is to consider the process of
urban management over the short- and long-term. How have urban
management and power over cities evolved since the beginning of the
Islamic period? For example, is the European urban development model
out of date compared to the successful Gulf urban model, which has
been recently deployed in several Arab and Muslim capitals (e.g. the
Abdali Plan in Amman, the Marinas in Casablanca or Beirut, the
shoreline of Lake Tunis)?

Des changements majeurs ont-ils eu lieu dans les municipalités en
Tunisie et en Egypte depuis les changements de gouvernements de 2011 ?
Quels enseignements tirer des élections municipales en Palestine ?

Have major shifts taken place in Tunisian or Egyptian municipalities
since the change of governments in 2011? What lessons can be drawn
from the municipal elections in Palestine?

On s'attachera à repenser les manifestations modernes du pouvoir
urbain à la lumière des événements passés. Si l'étude des rapports
entre ville et pouvoir à l'époque médiévale a été le plus souvent
envisagée par l'analyse des sources directes en arabe ou dans d'autres
langues (annales, chroniques, dictionnaires biographiques etc.), une
approche intégrant, par exemple, les données des textes littéraires,
de l'épigraphie ou de l'archéologie, c'est-à-dire, pour ces dernières,
basée sur des traces matérielles, permettrait de renouveler ces
questionnements.

It seems crucial to re-think the contemporary features of urban power
in light of recent events. The relations between city and power during
the medieval period are often studied through sources in both Arabic
and other languages (annals, chronicles, biographic dictionaries). It
is worth considering how an approach that would combine literature,
epigraphy and archaeological data (i.e. material rather than textual
traces) could contribute to a renewed study of these questions.

Sur le long terme, il faut aussi interroger la spécificité de la
construction du pouvoir dans les villes arabo-musulmanes.

Through a long-term perspective, the conference will also examine the
specificity of constructions of power in Arab and Muslim cities.

Expert Panel on Canada's Strategic Role in Global Health

An Expert Panel of leading Canadian and international global health
experts completed a year-long process to evaluate Canada's strategic role
in global health. The report, entitled Canadians Making a Difference: The
Expert Panel on Canada's Strategic Role in Global Health (
http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?OymT-O5Dg-kUMFF1 ) , identifies five
roles in which there is an opportunity for Canada to have significant
global impact: a) indigenous and circumpolar health research; b) public
health programs and research on social determinants of health; c)
community-based primary health care; d) partnerships with developing
countries in education and research; and e) global health innovation.
CIHR is making substantial investments in global health research and is a
partner in the Global Health Research Initiative, which aims to tackle
complex world health problems. Dr. Nancy Edwards, Scientific Director of
the CIHR Institute of Population and Public Health, was a witness of the
Expert Panel commissioned by the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences.

Le Comité d'experts sur le rôle stratégique du Canada en santé mondiale

Un comité d'experts chevronnés en santé mondiale provenant du Canada et
d'ailleurs dans le monde a récemment complété un processus d'évaluation
reposant sur des données probantes pour analyser le rôle stratégique du
Canada en santé mondiale. Le rapport intitulé Des Canadiens qui font une
différence – le Comité d'experts sur le rôle stratégique du Canada en
santé mondiale ( http://trk.cp20.com/Tracking/t.c?OymT-O5ER-kUMFF1 )
identifie cinq rôles qui permettraient au Canada d'avoir un impact notable
à l'échelle mondiale : a) la recherche sur la santé des Autochtones et la
santé circumpolaire, b) la santé des populations et la santé publique, c)
les soins de santé primaires axés sur les communautés, d) les partenariats
judicieux en éducation et en recherche sur la santé, et e) l'innovation en
santé mondiale.

Les IRSC effectuent des investissements substantiels en recherche en santé
mondiale et sont partenaire de l'Initiative de recherche en santé
mondiale, une initiative visant à s'attaquer aux complexes problèmes de
santé mondiale. Dre Nancy Edwards, Directrice scientifique de l'Institut
de la santé publique et des populations des IRSC, était témoin au comité
d'experts nommés par l'Académie canadienne des sciences de la santé.

Le 26 juillet 2011, l'Initiative de recherche sur le VIH/sida a lancé les
nouveaux Centres de collaboration pour la recherche communautaire sur le
VIH/sida. Ce nouvel outil de financement est le fruit des commentaires
reçus au cours des consultations tenues avec le milieu de la recherche
communautaire. Il a été élaboré avec l'aide du Comité directeur de la
recherche communautaire (RC). Cette nouvelle possibilité de financement a
pour objectif de faire progresser et d'étendre le travail de collaboration
entre les structures nationales existantes sur le VIH/sida et les
organismes communautaires régionaux et/ou provinciaux de lutte contre le
VIH/sida et les chercheurs afin de favoriser la coordination nationale des
efforts de recherche communautaire sur le VIH/sida.

Call for submissions A&E Annual Rappaport Student Panel and Prize

2011-11-25T11:29:00.000-07:00

Dear colleagues,

Interested graduate students should submit a 500 word, single-authored
abstract Katja Neves (katja.neves_graca@me.com ) either as as a Microsoft
Word attachment, PDF, or Pages for Mac.

* If selected as a finalist, a student will be allowed only to present
in the Rappaport session (although serving as a discussant or
organizer for another session is allowed).

The deadline is January 15, 2012 (Eastern Standard Time). A committee
will select up to five students to be invited to present a paper as part
of the 2012 Rappaport Prize Panel Discussion. Students will be notified
by the committee regarding decisions for the Student Panel in early
February.

Those selected to present in the Discussion Panel will have until October
1, 2012 to write their full, article-length (up to 8000 words) papers.
Consideration for the Rappaport Prize will be based on these papers. The
papers should be written with the expectation that they will ultimately be
submitted for publication.

A&E members and audience will participate in a discussion after the paper
presentations. The Rappaport Prize winner, selected from among the
panelists, will be announced at the A&E Business Meeting.

The Rappaport Prize and Panel is part of a wider effort to improve the
mentoring process for graduate students as they pursue A&E related
careers. Participating provides an opportunity for students to receive
constructive feedback on their work by junior and senior scholars in the
A&E community.

Best wishes,

Katja Neves
