[1] Islam in Context workshop - University of Durham -18th August 2015 –
Deadline: June 17, 2015
Workshop leaders: Mehmet Asutay (Durham University), Marco Cinnirella
(Royal Holloway University of London), Amina Wadud (Virginia Commonwealth
University)
Submission Deadline: June 17th 2015.
A one day post-graduate and early career researcher conference/workshop
will be held at Durham University on the 18th August 2015. The aim will be
to have post-graduate students and early career researchers participate in
a number of different activities in order to become better acquainted with
the subject matter that they are researching and the context in which they
are researching it.
The proposed activities include 3 different “Keynote” interactive
sessions (Mehmet Asutay, Durham University, Marco Cinnirella, Royal
Holloway University
London, and Amina Wadud Virginia Commonwealth University). These
presentations will each highlight and relate their specific material to the
subject of Islam. This will then be followed by breakout smaller group
sessions where each of these individuals will become seminar leaders in
their specific subject matter (Psychology/Sociology of Islam, Islamic
Finance and Islamic Textual Scholarship) as students have a chance to
present their own research to their peers. This will help the postgraduate
students to be able to engage in peer development in a smaller environment
with a leading scholar in their sub-discipline. This in turn encourages
deep-learning and mutual engagement (the primary aims for the conference or
workshop). The workshop will finish with a session on post-PhD perspectives
and a dinner. The overall mission is for this workshop is to bring together
early career academic minds from a variety of fields all connected by an
interest in understanding Islam or Muslims. The conference will explore
research from a wide variety of fields and will educate researchers across
disciplines and facilitate future cross-pollination in this area. Please
send notification of interest (a brief description of up to 500 words on
how attending this workshop will help your research development), along
with a short bio of participant(s), to [log in to unmask] or
[log in to unmask] by June 17th 2015. Decisions on selected proposals
will be sent out by June 30th 2015 at the latest. Participants are also
encouraged to submit
a paper proposal for the conference that will follow this workshop on the 19
th and 20th
August. ILM is pleased to announce that the workshop is free to Durham
Students and early career staff and that there is an availability of funds
for post-graduate students from other UK universities wanting to
participate in the workshop and all post-graduate students willing to
participate in the conference.
To be eligible students must demonstrate the need for financial support in
up to 500-words is a separate document to be submitted simultaneously with
their notification. Applications will be judged by the convenor and awards
will be announced together with abstract acceptance.

[3] Workshop - Queer Devices: A European Network for Queer Anthropology
Workshop - 11th – 13th September, Central European University, Budapest-
Deadline: June 30, 2015
Organizers: Paul Boyce, Elisabeth Engebretsen, Silvia Posocco, Hadley
Renkin.
The European Network for Queer Anthropology (ENQA) is pleased to announce
its first workshop. The aim is to offer a space for participants to present
and explore work foregrounded in anthropological epistemologies and
ethnographic methodologies, and which has sexual and gender diversity and
difference, broadly conceived, as a central theme. In so doing the workshop
will open up a discursive and reflexive space in which to critically engage
with and further debates, especially by providing an argument for (1) the
importance of both ethnographically grounded and post-ethnographic,
theoretically inflected approaches in queer studies, and (2) of
relativizing ‘Western’ paradigmatic knowledge regimes in the study of
gender and sexual diversity.
Against this background the workshop offers a context in which to explore
implications for the production of queer anthropological knowledge in
respect of ontologies that complicate possibilities for conceiving ‘the
sexual subject’ as a viable or singularly coherent object of analysis. As
such we are especially interested in inviting papers that are concerned
with addressing spaces, life-worlds, and epistemologies where obviously
empirical ethnographic approaches to the sexual subject might break-down,
and yet where new possibilities for conceiving sex/ual and gender meanings
in anthropology might be envisioned. What might such analyses look like,
and what implications do such shifts have for anthropology writ large?
Arguably, the relation between the aims and scope of queer and
anthropological analysis remains, as ever, awkward. Given this we invite
papers that address longstanding and new tensions and ambiguities, such as:
reflecting on relations, merographies and partial connections; on issues of
context, partiality, commensurability and the limits of ethnographic
comparison; the locus of anthropological and queer reflexivity and praxis;
querying materialities in the context of ontographic and (post)
ethnographic approaches; and tensions and potentialities of queer and
anthropological activism and the politics of change/liberation.
We invite short papers of work-in-progress – of approximately 3000 words in
length. Papers should be sent in advance of the workshop such that all
participants can read one another’s work and reflect in advance. The
workshop space will not focus on presentations of papers as such, but
rather dialogues elucidating synergies, commonalities and differences in
our work.
The workshop will also include discussion and practice groups within the
two-day program. These will focus on embodied reflections on queer
ethnography, interdisciplinary connections, and collaborative research,
publishing and funding. Please send expressions of interest along with
draft papers and a short bio to:
[log in to unmask]
Submissions should be marked ‘ENQA workshop’ and sent before 30th June 2015.
Workshop places will be limited to approximately 25 participants, but we
will do our best to accommodate as many applicants as we can. With thanks
to funding from EASA, we also plan to provide 2 nights of accommodation
during the workshop (details to follow).

[1] Papers – Panel: Queering temporality: rethinking time in/from the
anthropology of ageing - Australian Anthropological Society 2015 Conference
The University of Melbourne, 1-4 December, 2015 – Deadline: June 22, 2015
Convenors: Shiori Shakuto-Neoh and Benjamin Hegarty (The Australian
National University)
This panel will discuss ageing as a locus for rethinking anthropological
understandings of time. In recent years, there has been an upsurge of
interest in temporality (e.g. James and Mills 2005, Ingold 2011). Queer
theory has offered innovative ways to understand time and its passing (e.g.
Sedgwick 2003, Halberstam 2005). Yet few of these theories draw on the rich
perspectives offered by ethnography with the elderly. The anthropology of
ageing has provided a wealth of insights on the experiences and feelings of
growing old (e.g. Myerhoff 1980, Cohen 1999, Lamb 2000). These depictions
offer a window into how we experience past, present and future. Thus, this
panel will discuss the anthropology of ageing and queer theory in order to
inspire critical conversations on the subject. We take ageing as both a
methodological focus and a departure point. It is hoped that such a focus
on ageing will enrich theories of temporality and sociality among the
elderly. This panel welcomes papers that consider the following issues:
- What can anthropological studies of older people tell us about the way we
understand time, including links between past, present and future?
- How do queer theoretical perspectives towards time relate to experiences
of ageing? How can we converse with these theories to further
anthropological approaches to ageing?
- What are methodological practices that can capture the lives of the
elderly?
Details
Paper proposals must consist of:
- a paper title
- the name/s and email address/es of author/s
- a short abstract of fewer than 300 characters
- a long abstract of fewer than 250 words?
Please submit papers via the online system:
http://www.nomadit.co.uk/aas/aas2015/panels.php5?PanelID=3681
Our panel is in the "Temporalities" stream and hopes to be of interest to
anthropologists and others working in related fields, areas of study and
disciplines. Please email us for further information and queries:

[2] Panel Papers - Empires of love? Heterosexual regimes and motherhood
moralities
- Australian Anthropological Society (AAS) Conference 2015 Moral Horizons -
The University of Melbourne, December 1-4, 2015 - Deadline: June 22, 2015
Convenors
Susan Frohlick (University of Manitoba) [[log in to unmask]]
Ana Dragojlovic (University of Melbourne) [[log in to unmask]]
Abstract
As Povinelli (2006) and others (Illouz, Berlant, Constable) have suggested,
love, sex, and intimacy are reconfigured under globalization and
neoliberalism. While "the intimate couple" and, we add, "the mother" stand
in for self-evident goodness within moral liberal governance, heterosexual
femininities are subjected to new regimes of power and regulation leaving
motherhood in a morally precarious position. Heterosexualities undergoing
new expressions are shaped by wider political economic and gendered demands
for women's participation in flexible labor, intimate markets, spatial and
geographical mobilities, and social reproduction. What does this mean for
the formation and governance of motherhood, under surveillance of
patriarchy and multiple registers of power and moralities (nation-state,
immigration, healthcare, citizenship, family, religion) but also embodied
and agentive? For example, as women are interpolated into intimate markets
of reproduction, for both consumers and producers moralities of motherhood
are resurfacing in new configurations, linked to deep histories of gendered
oppression and regulations of female sexuality and maternal (and fetal and
child) rights. Then again, motherhood could also be seen as an empire of
love that colonizes others.
This panel seeks papers that examine motherhood as a moral space,
subjectivity, and subjugation, or mothering within various "empires of
love," ie, governance of emotion, intimacy, affect, subjectivity, and
relatedness through regimes of power. Topics such as transnational
motherhood or adoption, reproduction tourism, surrogacy, interracial
mothering, addiction and motherhood, HIV+ mothers, "MILF", and
non-normative non-monogamous motherhood are possible topics. Emphasis
should be on linkages of morality, heterosexuality, and motherhood played
out contemporarily.
To submit a proposed paper
All paper proposals must be submitted via the online system (details below)
no later than June 22, 2015. A short abstract of 300 characters and a long
abstract of 350 words maximum are required. Our panel is listed in the
Social Hierarchies Panels, HIER 05.

[4] Papers - Agrifood XXII - Queenstown, New Zealand. Sunday, December 6th
to Wednesday December 9th. - Deadline: August 1, 2015
The conference website is now live at:
http://www.otago.ac.nz/agrifood-2015/index.html
You are invited to submit brief abstracts to: [log in to unmask]
The final date for abstracts is August 1st, 2015.
Keynotes and Themes
Agrifood XXII will have three feature speakers - Annemarie Mol, Michael
Carolan and Julie Guthman.
The four main conference themes are:
- Mahinga Kai and Food Sovereignty: exploring the new politics of
indigenous food as well as opening up discussion to wider issues in food
sovereignty, local foods, food politics and activism and alternative
agrifood systems.
- Empires of Food and Political Economy: inviting papers that consider
longer term imperial food histories and food regimes, or that seek to
situate current food dynamics and crises within political economy
approaches to understanding the place of agriculture and food within
capitalist economies, globalisation, neoliberalism or international trade.
- Pinot Noir and the Contested Global Countryside: Queenstown has become a
celebrated case of the way in which elite and boutique foods (like pinot
noir) have become essential elements of the ‘global countryside’. We invite
papers considering the relationship between food and new forms of economic
activity in rural regions, tourism, alternative economic experimentation,
new geographies of the rural and amenity landscapes.
- Embodied Food and the More-Than-Human: reflecting our choice of keynote
speakers, we invite papers that consider new approaches to agrifood
theorisation that engage with the post-structural turn in agrifood studies,
new materialities, assemblages, and more-than-human approaches. We invite
papers that explore these at any and every scale: from the planetary to the
embodied.
While these four themes were chosen as being particularly relevant to a
conference being held in a place like Queenstown, NZ, we invite agrifooders
to also submit papers on any other issue of contemporary concern to
agrifood scholarship. We also invite agrifooders to suggest particular
panels, themes or special sessions that they might wish to organise at
Agrifood XXII. If you want to submit an idea for a special session or
panel, please contact the organising committee before July 1st, 2015.
As is the tradition at these meetings, we invite papers from contributors
both inside and outside the academy as well as urging scholars at all
stages of their career to share their work at Agrifood XXII. Students will
be eligible to either submit abstracts for full papers or, if there is
enough interest, to present work in progress in pecha kucha sessions.
Students presenting full papers will be eligible for consideration for the
David Burch Prize that will be awarded to the best student paper
presentation at Agrifood XXII.
Instructions for Submitting Abstracts:
Length: 150-250 words
To: [log in to unmask]
By: August 1st, 2015
For students submitting abstracts, please indicate whether you wish to
present a full paper or a pecha kucha presentation. For pecha kucha
presentations, we will accept a title and short abstract.
If you need a response on the status of your abstract earlier than August,
2015 for the purposes of travel planning, please let us know and we will
respond to you within two weeks of your submission.
[5] Papers - Special journal issue in: Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority
Education Studies of Migration, Integration, Equity, and Cultural Survival
(DIME) - Deadline: August 1, 2015
Special Issue Title: "Migrant third space pedagogies: educative practices
of becoming and belonging between nations"
Co-editors: Andrea Dyrness (Trinity College) and Janise Hurtig (University
of Illinois at Chicago)
Deadline: August 1, 2015
Special Issue Description: Within the anthropology of education, studies of
immigrant education -- whether children, youth, or adults -- have primarily
focused on migrants' engagement with or adaptation to formal schooling. Too
often, the theoretical lenses used to interrogate migrants' educative
experiences resort uncritically to the same individualistic dualisms of
assimilation or accommodation, academic achievement or failure, staying or
leaving that constitute the civic, moral, and educational economies of
neoliberalism. Overlooked and undertheorized are those emergent educative
practices within migrant collectivities, unique and often autonomous, that
take place in the interstices of educational institutions, formal social
networks, or explicit social movements. These are practices through which
migrant groups, formally or informally, autonomously or accompanied by
social allies and educational partners, establish their own terms for what
is to be taught and how it should be learned.
In recent years, the concept of "third space" has been appropriated by
educational anthropologists studying transmigrant and diasporic communities
to characterize these distinct migrant spaces of teaching and learning. The
concept of third space traverses and transcends the spatially and
temporally bounded binaries of belonging or not belonging, being or
becoming, native or other that diminish and deny diasporic and
transnational migrants' realities and potentialities. Without romanticizing
the material and psychic struggles of migrants compelled to negotiate and
remake their lives within a world that refuses them legitimate civic or
cultural locations, the concept of third space moves beyond deficit-laced
narratives of immigrant assimilation and resistance, focusing on the
creative agency of migrants' educative practices as taking place
simultaneously within, between, and beyond legitimized regional and
national spaces and identities.
The papers in this special issue will adopt a critical ethnographic lens to
focus on such third space pedagogies organized for the purposes of
self-realization, self-determination, and social transformation.
Much as the third space constitutes both a practice and its theory, we
encourage papers that draw on diverse praxis-oriented theoretical
frameworks, including but not restricted to postcolonial, neomarxist, and
transnational feminist "practiced theories" of hybridity,
counter-storytelling, convivencia, self-formation, critical consciousness,
and dialogue. We seek papers that both describe and theorize the fluid,
contestatory, creative practices characterizing these interstitial spaces
of teaching and learning. While conscious that such spaces are necessarily
interpolated by hegemonic forces, we are particularly interested in papers
that consider how these educative third space practices work through the
dualisms of migrant accommodation and resistance, producing practices that
model alternatives to those forces. Finally, articles should extend their
critical theoretical orientation to include the interrogation of the role
of the anthropologist, whether as participant observer, participatory
action researcher or practitioner directly engaged in these third space
educative practices. In this way we hope that the special issue will
contribute to the rethinking of the ethnographic craft as a form of
critical collaboration with members of these migrant third space educative
communities.
