Call for Proposals: Class, Culture, and Animals: Anthropological Perspectives on the Intersections of Nature and Labour

Call for Proposals
Session Title: Class, Culture, and Animals: Anthropological Perspectives
on the Intersections of Nature and Labour

Anthropological analyses of the relations between people and animals can
reveal important insights about the nature of contemporary class politics.
Bridging political ecology and the anthropology of work, this session
illuminates the nature/labour nexus as spatial, conceptual, and
hierarchical terrain. In particular, the session explores how class
relations are reflected, reproduced, negotiated, and/or resisted through
people?s material and cultural work with animals. Papers analyzing themes
such as the political and symbolic economies of animals, the gendered,
racialized, and classed politics of human-animal relations, and the
cultural construction of work with animals and animal work are especially
encouraged.

The session is to be submitted for the American Anthropological
Association Annual Meeting which will be held November 16-20, 2011 in the
great city of Montréal, Canada.

Please send queries and/or abstracts of 150 words to Kendra Coulter at
kcoulter@uwindsor.ca by February 18th, 2011.

International Internship Opportunity

Hello,

The La Catalina Educational Foundation
(http://www.lacatalinafoundation.com/) in La Manzanilla, Mexico
requires an intern to start as soon as possible in a 3-6 month
position as an English teacher. I was hoping you might be able to
assist us in finding an intern by distributing this email to your
contacts and community.

Briefly, the position is to teach English to children and youth both
within the public school system and in extra-curricular classes. The
intern will also support the foundation's program director in other
activities that benefit the community. It would be a great
opportunity for anyone interested in a career in education or
international development to develop professional experience and to
experience life in a small coastal town in Mexico. We provide modern
housing including basic costs and utilities and it is an unpaid
internship.

Ideally the intern is someone with teaching experience, energy,
enthusiasm, flexibility, and at least beginner Spanish abilities.
More details about the internship can be seen at

http://www.idealist.org/view/internship/NmBJxpfXB4w4.

Thank you very much and if you have any questions or comments please
do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Regards,
Nancy Wyeth
Program Director, La Catalina Educational Foundation
www.lacatalinafoundation.com <http://www.lacatalinafoundation.com/>

We are a Mexican non-profit organization that provides language and
literacy opportunities free of charge to the local people of La
Manzanilla and its surrounding areas. Our mission is to offer
educational programs aimed at raising the overall literacy level of
the Mexican community, so they may have a more prosperous future in a
changing time and economy.
