I was wondering if it is possible to post a link to our dig for this
upcoming summer. Here are some details: the excavation is in Jordan; the
name of the excavation is the Wadi ath-Thamad Project; it is run by the
Wilfrid Laurier University and the dates of the excavation are from June
13th to July 28th. The link is: www.wlu.ca/arts/archaeology/jordan/
The deadline for applications is March 1st, 2008. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Dr. Michèle Daviau
Trinity Western University has openings for the GUATEMALA TRAVEL STUDY
PROGRAM, April 27 - May 19, 2008.
The travel study's experiential approach to the study of man, society and
culture, will help students discover different cultural principles of human
interaction. Students are exposed to the unique cultures of the Maya, the
Ladino, and the Garifuna (Black Caribs). The classroom is the country. Every
venue, speaker, and activity is selected to give students exposure to
different realities.
Students take two courses:
ANTH302: Cross-cultural Communication. This course explores various cultural
systems including social structure, value and belief systems. The course
highlights orientations to culture profiling, the dynamics of cross-cultural
interaction, and the principles for culture change.
PSYCH 490: Personhood. This course looks at worldviews and how that is
variously shaped by cultural context.
Regions and relevant topics include:
- Coban region: indigenous Mayans, economics/environment and development
- Flores & TIKAL: ancient Mayan cultures, religion and governing systems
- Rio Dulce & Livingston: Garifuna studies, identity
- Antigua region: Ladino, culture change and the arts
- Lake Atitlan region: other indigenous Mayan groups
Instructor: Professor Anaya leads travel studies annually to Kenya and/or
Guatemala (http://www.twu.ca/academics/faculty/anaya-ruth.html)

L'Institut d'études des femmes a le plaisir d'annoncer la venue de Dr
Maryanne Dever , notre deuxième Chercheure invitée de la Banque de
Montréal en études des femmes pour l'année scolaire 2007-2008. Dr
Dever sera à l'Institut jusqu'à la fin du mois de mars 2008.
Durant son séjour à l'Institut d'études des femmes, Dr Maryanne Dever
travaille à la rédaction d'un article de recherche qui rapporte les
résultats d'une étude sur les différences liées au sexe entre les
titulaires d'un doctorat en début de carrière. Cette étude examine
plus particulièrement en quoi la structure de la famille des
diplômé-e-s et leurs expériences pendant les études de doctorat
façonnent les différences entre les hommes et les femmes au début de
leur carrière universitaire et au niveau de leur rendement en
recherche. Cette étude cadre avec l'intérêt actuel de Dr Dever pour
les questions de relations homme - femme, le travail et l'éducation
supérieure, et fait suite à son étude précédente concernant la prise
de décision en matière de progéniture ainsi que les aspirations et
cheminements professionnels.
Deux de ses études récentes portaient sur les conditions propices à la
productivité élevée en recherche des femmes universitaires (le rapport
se trouve ici en format PDF :
http://www.adm.monash.edu/sss/equity-diversity/wlas/when-research-works.html
<http://www.adm.monash.edu/sss/equity-diversity/wlas/when-research-works.html>
), sur les aspirations professionnelles et les accomplissements des
diplômées en études des femmes.
Dr Dever effectue aussi des recherches dans le domaine des études
littéraires. Elle vient de terminer un livre écrit en collaboration,
The Intimate Archive : Journeys Through Personal Papers (qui sera
publié par la National Library of Australia plus tard cette année), et
travaille sur la correspondance entre Mercedes de Acosta, Marlene
Dietrich et Greta Garbo.
Elle a été directrice du Centre for Women's Studies and Gender
Research de la Monash University à Melbourne en Australie et préside
la Australian Women's and Gender Studies Association
(http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/womens-studies/news-and-events/awgsa.php
<http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/womens-studies/news-and-events/awgsa.php>
).
Dr Dever donnera une conférence intitulée Gender, Research and Careers
ce jeudi, 14 février 2008, à 11h30-13h00, au pavillon Desmarais (55
Laurier est), pièce 3120. Toutes et tous sont les bienvenus.

***********
The Institute of Women's Studies is pleased to announce the arrival of
Dr. Maryanne Dever , our second Bank of Montreal Visiting Scholar in
Women's Studies for the academic year 2007-2008. Dr. Dever will be at
the Institute until the end of March 2008.
While at the Institute for Women's Studies, Dr. Maryanne Dever is
writing up findings from a project investigating gender differentials
in early career outcomes for PhD graduates. It looks in particular at
how gender differences in early career academic employment and
research performance are shaped by graduates' family formation and PhD
experiences. This project extends her current research interest on
questions of gender, work, and higher education and builds on her
previous research concerning fertility decision-making, career
aspirations and employment pathways.
Two of her recent projects examined the conditions that lead to high
research productivity for women academics (the report is available
here in PDF:
http://www.adm.monash.edu/sss/equity-diversity/wlas/when-research-works.html)
and career aspirations and outcomes for Women's Studies graduates.
Dr. Dever also researches in the area of literary studies and has just
completed a co-authored book, The Intimate Archive: Journeys Through
Personal Papers (to be published by the National Library of Australia
later this year) and has also been working on the correspondence
between Mercedes de Acosta, Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo.
Maryanne Dever is a former Director of the Centre for Women's Studies
& Gender Research at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and is
President of the Australian Women's and Gender Studies Association
(see:
http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/womens-studies/news-and-events/awgsa.php).
She will be giving a lecture entitled Gender, Research and Careers on
Thursday, February 14, 2008, 11:30-13:00, at Desmarais Hall (55
Laurier East), room 3120. Everyone is welcome.
You may reach her at:
Office: 30 Stewart, room 201

CASCA Women's Network 25th Anniversary Project
CASCA 2008, May 8-10, 2008, Carleton University, Ottawa
http://www.casca2008.anthropologica.ca/
This collaborative project of the CASCA Women's Network calls for
papers on the struggles and stories of women anthropologists, both in
academia itself, as well as in the field. The former may include the
creation of women's studies departments, collaborative actions of
women's caucuses, and struggles over salary equity, maternity leave
policy, and day care. The latter includes the engagement of women
academics with ethnographic research, including the influence of
gender in fieldwork, historical perspectives on women's presence in
the ethnographic field, and other relevant issues. We encourage papers
that are the result of research, for instance on one's own department,
as well as reflective pieces. Such stories are important because,
although they may be passed on as anecdotes, they may not generally be
known or accessible to young women academics. This session therefore
aims to provide a meeting point between younger and older generations
of female academics. The various ways in which women deal with these
issues should be recorded and disseminated as part of an ongoing
process of women anthropologists negotiating their roles within the
academy and the ethnographic field.
The session papers will form the basis for a special publication,
celebrating the Canadian Anthropology Society's Women's Network's 25th
anniversary. Contributions are encouraged for a variety of formats,
including written conversations between academics on the topic,
interviews with individuals, letters, etc. as well as more formal
academic articles on the topic.
Please send abstracts of a maximum of 100 wds. to Christina Holmes at
cpholmes@dal.ca by _February 13_, 2008
