Deadline extended - CASCA/SANA2016 panel CFP: Solidarities at the Edge of Exclusion

Solidarities at the Edge of Exclusion – Deadline Extended

Solidarity is usually celebrated as a good thing and something that
ought to be promoted. But the forging of solidarity movements
necessarily sets one locus of collective values and commitments
against others and can lead to marginalization, rupture, scapegoating,
and exclusion. This panel engages with the irresolvable tension
between inclusion and exclusion in the forging of solidarities by
paying particular attention to their exclusionary sides, broadly
understood. It invites contributions that ethnographically investigate
how troubled forms of social difference are produced, lived, and
interpreted at the level of everyday practice. We will be especially
interested in the following questions: How do the dualities of
solidarity making – inclusion and exclusion – play out in practical
contexts? When solidarities collapse, how do social actors make sense
of the breakdown of collective attachments and commitments? How do
individuals and collectives navigate the everyday tensions that might
develop when they are allied in one context or moment, but opposed in
others? How fixed are group boundaries, and even in cases of deep
collective antipathies, is group membership always or ever an "all or
nothing matter"? When social actors engage in exclusionary boundary
work, what justifications do they give to these practices? Finally,
are there particular theoretical, methodological, or other challenges
associated with ethnographic investigations of solidarity's
exclusionary sides?

Please send inquiries or abstracts of 150 words to Laura Eramian
(Sociology and Social Anthropology, Dalhousie University) at
leramian@dal.ca by January 27th. You'll be notified before February
1st to take advantage of the lower registration rate.

CASCA/SANA2016 panel CFP: (Far from) Simple Solidarities, Complex Coalitions: Unexpected Politics in Troubled Times and Places

CFP for SANA CASCA Panel

(Far from) Simple Solidarities, Complex Coalitions: Unexpected Politics in
Troubled Times and Places

For more information contact Sandra Morgen (smorgen@uoregon.edu) OR Kathleen
Piovesan (piovesan@uoregon.edu) or Gennie Nguyen (gnguyen@uoregon.edu)

Politics often produces unexpected alliances and oppositions, especially in
local struggles over resources and investments. Sometimes long-standing
political enemies join forces. Sometimes long-standing allies splinter or fail
to support groups with whom they have espoused solidarity or shared interest.
Solidarity is rarely simple and surprising coalitions can emerge that disrupt,
but also can reinforce, existing political alignments. This session examines
the locally politically unexpected, documenting it, analyzing its genesis
and/or consequences, and using these examples to problematize anthropological
engagements ­ theoretical and otherwise ­ with solidarity. Papers include case
studies about tax politics, housing, and community development. We invite
others whose research could contribute to consideration of these questions.

Upcoming Lecture:

Phil Fontaine, former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations
David B. Goodman Lecture

Tuesday, February 9, 2016 - 4:10pm to 6:10pm

Location: Emmanuel College, Room 119 (73 Queen's Park Crescent)
Toronto

Former three-term National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations,
Phil Fontaine will deliver the Goodman Lecture on February 9 at 4:10
pm. Chief Fontaine is an articulate advocate for indigenous peoples.
He has a proven track record of opening the lines of communication and
bringing people together in a common cause for a better future and to
resolve issues of the past.
Fontaine, the youngest son in an Ojibway family of 12 children, has
been instrumental in facilitating change and advancement for First
Nations people from the time he was first elected to public office as
chief, when he was 28 years old.
An advocate for human rights and a survivor of residential school
abuse, Fontaine's crowning achievement is the residential schools
settlement. At $5.6billion in individual compensation, Fontaine
negotiated the largest settlement in Canadian history – for the
largest human rights violation in Canadian history – arising out of
the 150-year Indian residential school tragedy.

CASCA 2016 Roundtable Session: Call for Participants - Working Title: “Medical Anthropology, CIHR and SSHRC: Strategizing for Funding Inclusion in Uncertain Times.”

CASCA 2016 Roundtable Session: Call for Participants



Working Title: "Medical Anthropology, CIHR and SSHRC: Strategizing for
Funding Inclusion in Uncertain Times."



Organizer:

Emma Varley, Chair of the Canadian Medical Anthropology Network
(CMA)

Assistant Professor, Brandon University


varleye@brandonu.ca



*Roundtable Abstract and Goals*



Changes to national funding landscapes, evolving institutional objectives
and shifting donor agency priority research areas have had significant and
sometimes damaging impacts on the nature, scope and methods of our medical
anthropology studies and inquiry both in Canada and internationally. In
response, this roundtable revisits the Canadian Medical Anthropology
Network's 2011 manifesto, "The End of Medical Anthropology in Canada?",
which issued an urgent call for renewed dialogue and activism around
medical anthropologists' ability to be funded by SSRHC and CIHR (
http://www.universityaffairs.ca/opinion/in-my-opinion/the-end-of-medical-anthorpology-in-canada/).




Reduced funding for medical anthropology research has impacted the scope of
our work and the ways we share our findings with diverse audiences,
beneficiaries and stakeholders. In turn, the pressures placed on medical
anthropologists to 'fit' into SSHRC and CIHR eligibility criteria push us
to cloak our research either in the non-health terms asked by SSHRC, or
subordinate it to the public health and medicine approaches preferred by
CIHR.



How do these changes and pressures affect our discipline's role in Canadian
academic and applied health settings? What do anthropologists do to ensure
anthropological approaches become more central to expanded public health
research and interventions at national and global levels?



Medical anthropologists active within and beyond academia are invited to
share their experiences of these changes, the strategies they use to
navigate diminished national research funding opportunities, and their
thoughts on where the Canadian Medical Anthropology Network (CMA) should go
next with its networking, activism and mobilization, especially as new
opportunities for disciplinary advocacy arise in a post-Harper era.



Interested medical anthropologists are warmly encouraged to join the
roundtable to talk about their experiences with one or more of the
following issues:


- *Our positioning betwixt and between the social and health sciences:*
How do we qualify our work according to public health and health science
approaches, evidentiary expectations, methods and metrics? In what ways do
public health concerns or interventions require our creative response?
- *Our navigations and negotiations of CIHR and SSHRC funding criteria,
priority areas, and regulations:* How do we explain the importance of
anthropological methods and evidence for health research, or for
policy and
programming? How can we insert deep forms of critical inquiry and
engagement into the health research approaches preferred by CIHR, or the
'non-health' social science approaches emphasized by SSHRC? How do we
navigate CIHR concerns for our 'productivity', particularly as it compares
with public health outputs?
- *Our retooling of medical anthropological language and methods in
clinical medical and public health terms:* How do we draw on
interdisciplinary language and approaches to 'win over' grant
reviewers, or
convince them of the merits of an anthropological approach? What kinds of
methods, theory and evidence 'count' in order for our work to be
considered
fundable? How do CIHR and SSHRC funding criteria lead some applicants to
tactically sublimate the anthropology focus of their work? How do these
concessions impact our research once it is funded?
- *The impacts of the mixed-methods and positivist interdisciplinary
approaches on the perceived usefulness, quality, effectiveness and
'worthiness' of medical anthropological research approaches:* In which
ways can we seize on and reconfigure these preferred methodologies in
anthropological terms and capture 'better' evidence, or produce more
'successful' results? How do we draw on the strengths of interdisciplinary
research, or communicate our concerns about its drawbacks?
- *If not CIHR or SSHRC, then what? *Which other funding bodies,
agencies and opportunities support our work? How is our work affected when
we seek funds from private or non-governmental sectors, or from outside
Canada altogether?

The results of this roundtable will guide future advocacy and activism by
the Canadian Medical Anthropology Network in the following areas:


- Medical anthropology's inclusion in CIHR's Research Pillars and
SSHRC's Future Challenge Areas, expanded funding for non-medical,
health-focused studies by medical anthropologists, and ensuring that our
work is evaluated on anthropological terms.
- Strengthening the CMA as a forum for the development of stronger
intra-professional alliances among medical anthropologists – scholars,
students and practitioners alike.

Interested participants are asked to share their institutional affiliation,
contact information and a 200-word abstract concerning their proposed
discussion topic/s with the roundtable organizer by *Sunday, January 31,
2016*.
