I would like to invite collaborators for a panel I'd like to put together
for the upcoming SAR conference in San Diego. I'm considering assembling a
panel on anthropological issues raised by religious/faith healing. In
keeping with the conference theme, I'd especially like to encourage
submissions that deal with the connection between rituals of healing and
systems of morality, although I'd also be interested in abstracts that deal
with other aspects of religious healing. My own paper will discuss Navajo
Pentecostal healing etiology.If you would be interested in joining me,
please send me an email ASAP, as abstracts are due by Jan. 15. My email is

*[3] Abstract - Anthology - Sexuality at Home: Interdisciplinary and
Cross-Cultural Approaches - Deadline: January 31, 2015*
Call for Abstracts - Sexuality at Home: Interdisciplinary and
Cross-Cultural Approaches
Sexuality at Home is the first book-length study devoted to exploring the
multiple meanings and experiences of home through the framework of
sexuality which will be culturally and historically specific. This book
will form part of the new Home series edited by Rosie Cox and Victor
Buchli; it will form part of the first wave of titles for the series launch
in August 2017. Our anthology will build on this research through
presenting close analyses of the ways in which home is constructed,
performed and experienced in relation to sexuality; it will also consider
the various ways that age, class, ethnicity, and gender intersect with
sexuality at home.
In that the book contract is now signed, the editors are only seeking
proposals from academics who are exploring the relationship between the
themes of sexuality and home with an ethnicity/or race-based focus with
preference given to work from outside of the Global North/UK/America.
Please send a 300 word abstract by 31 January 2015 to both: Rachael

*[4] Submission - Conference - Transnational Hispaniola: Theories Into
Practices - Haiti - October 2015 - Deadline: January 31, 2015*
Please find the CFP for the Transnational Hispaniola Conference, scheduled
for October 2015 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
*TRANSNATIONAL** HISPANIOLA III:*
*THEORIES INTO PRACTICES*
PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI, OCTOBER 2015
*Colloquium Theme:*
Transborder and binational relations between Haitian and the Dominican
Republic have permeated throughout history. The legacies of the social,
cultural, economic, and political realities shared by both societies and
their diasporas have created promising spaces of dialogue. Political and
economic elites in both countries have, for the most part, ignored and/or
tried to suppress these expressions of commonality, in favor of more
divisive political and socio-economic discourses. The goal of the previous
Transnational Hispaniola (TH) conferences in Santo Domingo and in the
United States was to use scholarship and creative expression to transform
dominant paradigms in Dominican and Haitian knowledge production, political
culture, and pedagogy that reproduce class exploitation, gender-based
violence, and social exclusion on the basis of citizenship, sexuality,
language, culture, phenotype, and ability.
With this latest colloquium, Transnational Hispaniola III
(THIII) seeks to foster intellectual and creative production while also
making a deliverable contribution to the education and training of
attendees, with special emphasis on the students and faculty at Haitian
universities. First, this TH event will be a venue to connect scholars from
across the island and beyond who might otherwise not have an opportunity to
engage in constructive dialogue across linguistic and national borders on
issues affecting the peoples of Hispaniola and their diasporas. Second, in
the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, several initiatives were working
toward strengthening higher education in Haiti through educational
exchanges, like the US Fulbright program, a Wenner-Gren Institutional
Development Grant, and bilateral university collaborations. To support
these projects while continuing to work in the spirit of previous TH
conferences, the organizers will facilitate teaching modules as a basis of
offering a *Certificate in Transnational Hispaniola Studies *to those
Haitian professors and students who participate. Finally, we will have a
series of workshops specifically for Haitian students and faculty.
*Topics*
The organizers are interested in submissions on any of the following topics:
- Anthropological Methods and Theory
- Haiti-DR Borderlands
- Development and/or Non-governmental organizations
- Tourism, Sex Work, Factories, Informal Economies, Markets, etc.
- Education and/or Language and/or Linguistics and/or Literacy
- Environmental Studies or Ecology
- Gender and/or Sexuality
- Human Rights
- Land and/or agricultural production
- Migration, mobility, and/or deportation
- Race and Ethnicity
- Religion
- Research Design
- Science and Technology
- Social Movements
- Urban planning
- Technical workshops in art, poetry, music or other creative forms of
expression
The official languages of the conference are Kreyòl, Spanish, and English.

*[5] Submissions - Anthrosalon - Mind the Gap(s): Spaces of
precarity/spaces of possibility - Deadline January 31, 2015*
York University’s Social Anthropology Graduate Association (SAGA)
is proud to present an anthrosalon: Mind the Gap(s): Spaces of
precarity/spaces of possibility
March 21, 2015 | York University, Toronto
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS & CURATORIAL/ARTIST STATEMENTS
DUE: January 31, 2015
The Social Anthropology Graduate Association of York University invites
submissions from scholars for our anthrosalon. Drawing on this year’s
theme, Mind the Gap(s): Spaces of precarity/spaces of possibility, we seek
to explore how gap(s) are contextualized, investigated, analysed and
critiqued in theory, methodology, and practice by academics, artists, and
activists.
This theme builds upon anthropology’s attunements to the, “precarities”
(Allison 2013, Butler 2012), “possibilities” (Graeber 2007) and “frictions”
(Tsing 2005) that gesture toward “an anthropology of the otherwise”
(Povinelli 2011). We consider gap(s) as spaces where both precarity and
possibility reside; as spaces where what has not yet been imagined takes
shape, where the inarticulate and the unseen dwell and where the potential
exists for new things to emerge. We approach gap(s) as ontological spaces
where opportunities, desires, tensions, intensities, failures, and
anxieties build. We ask: What constitutes the gap? How can we think about,
through, and with gaps? What and who is being de-/re-/activated in the gap?
How can we account for and represent gaps in our work? What is there to
gain by discussing the gap?
We encourage participants to interpret the topic broadly. Submissions
should inspire, challenge and expand our assumptions, understandings, and
approaches to the notion of ‘gap.’ The examples below suggest just a few of
the ways that you might consider your own research with respect to the
theme.
between affect and articulation
between sensation and perception
between zones of inclusion and exclusion
between matters of concern and matters of fact
between official accounts and lived realities
between genealogies and narratives
between ‘naturalized’ categories and emergent categories
between evidentiary regimes and contested fields of power
between academia and activism
between culture and materialities
We welcome proposals of traditional papers, panels and poster
presentations, but we also strongly encourage submissions that explore the
theme through multimedia, performance, installation, and collaboration. To
propose a presentation, please submit an abstract or statement of no more
than 250 words. Paper presentations are limited to 15 minutes and panels (3
to 4 presenters) to 75 minutes. For interactive-, exhibition-, or
event-based formats, please submit a curatorial/artist statement of up to
three pages, including any space, time, or technical requirements you
require.
Send submissions to [log in to unmask] by January 31, 2015.
Include your name, institutional affiliation (if applicable), and contact
information (mailing address, phone number, and email) on all submissions.
A fee of $20 will apply to those invited to participate. Notifications will
be sent in early February. The anthrosalon will result in a special issue
of Contingent Horizons: The York University Student Journal of
Anthropology (www.contingenthorizons.com).
*[6] Conference - Decolonizing Development: Opportunities & Alternatives
Post-2015 - International Development (IDC) - Toronto - February 7 & 8,
2015*
The 2015 International Development (IDC) hosted at the University of
Toronto Scarborough (UTSC) on February 7thand 8th, 2015, would be of
interest to your undergraduate and graduate students at the Department of
Anthropology at the University of York. The theme of this year’s conference
is “Decolonizing Development: Opportunities & Alternatives Post-2015.”This
year is the fourth anniversary of the student-organized and student-led
International Development Conference at UTSC. Our unique programming this
year,including 11 thematic discussions, 6 workshops, a large-scale debate,
and 2 keynote presentations, will actively engage all
participants—speakers, students, development professionals, and faculty
alike—in conversations surrounding issues of local, national and
international development. The Conference hopes to promote greater thought,
participation and exchange of ideas to empower attendees and inspire new
visions of development, particularly as the era of the United Nations
Millennium Development Goals (UN MDGs) comes to a close, and new ideas are
being generated to tackle development issues. This year, we have expanded
our event to include cultural components such as art displays, a social
justice dance performance, and music and spoken word.
We also have two competitions open:
1) Art Competition open to University of Toronto staff, faculty, students
and alumni. Information can be found at the following link:

*[7] Proposals - Panel - Conference - The Politics of Religious
Space-Making - Deadline: February 15, 2015*
We invite paper proposals to our panel P1-08 The Politics of Religious
Space-Making in the upcoming IUAES Inter-Congress 2015.
IUAES Inter-Congress 2015
15-17 July 2015, Bangkok, Thailand
Panel P1-08 The Politics of Religious Space-Making
Convenor: Wai-chi Chee, University of Hong Kong
Discussant: Saroja Dorairajoo, National University of Singapore
In the current ever expanding global networks of exchange, an unprecedented
movement and connection of people, goods, capital, information, and ideas
has blurred geographic confines, political borders and sociocultural
boundaries. In this context, the intense and complex interactions between
different religious communities and between religious and nonreligious
groups lead to the constitution and reconstitution of new forms of
religious space, both physical and symbolic. Different religious spaces are
contained or allowed for in uneven ways: some spaces are encouraged and
accepted while others are discouraged and rejected. The making of religious
spaces is also intertwined with other spaces such as ethnic space and
gender space. In the process, different religious communities find
themselves challenged by the dynamics of religious space-making that
constantly require creative adaptation.
The constitution of religious spaces entails the interplay between
different opposing and yet interlocking forces, be it state vs civil space,
or physical vs virtual space, or localism vs globalism, or spiritual vs
secular, or tradition vs modernity. To tease out the complexities of
religious space-making, this panel brings into discussion the ways religion
spaces are negotiated, contested, created, and recreated in the public
realm, and how this transforms religion.
This panel invites papers that address the following questions:
– What are the new forms of religious space and how are they created? How
are claims for religious spaces negotiated, accepted or refuted? What are
the roles of different actors?
– How is religious pluralism manifested, articulated and represented when
different religious and non-religious groups compete for spaces? What is
the interplay between religious practices and perceptions and religious
space-making?
– How are religious spaces sites of agreements and disputes? What are the
challenges and possibilities these spaces offer for religion?
– How do new forms of religious space contribute to religious homogeneity
and plurality? How do they transform regulatory regime and open space?
– What are the dynamics between religious identity and other facets of
identity such as gender, ethnic, and national identities?
– How are religious communities networked locally and globally? How do they
identify with and distinguish themselves from each other?
– What are the politics of religious space-making in the context of
migration?
By addressing the complexities of religious space-making, this panel seeks
to contribute to the theoretical understanding of contemporary religious
situation, especially when it pertains to religious pluralism and the
relations between different religious groups as well as between religious
and non-religious communities.
Please submit your paper abstracts (short abstract of 100 words and long
abstract of 350 words) by 15 February 2015 to
