[3] Call for New Interns - Society for Cultural Anthropology - Deadline:
November 20, 2014
The editorial internship program plays a crucial part in the mission of the
Society for Cultural Anthropology. Interns produce the majority of the
content on the SCA website, including curating the Field Notes, Teaching
Tools, Visual and New Media Review and AnthroPod sections. Interns are also
responsible for producing supplemental pages for each new issue of Cultural
Anthropology, creating curated collections of past journal articles, as
well as driving the society’s social media presence. Through these
activities, interns are helping to make anthropology more visible and
accessible to non-professional audiences and contributing to the success of
the society. Interns have numerous opportunities to interact with
established scholars, collaborate with other highly engaged students, and
gain valuable experience in media production.
Prospective interns must be currently enrolled in M.A. or Ph.D. programs in
social and/or cultural anthropology or a related field and be comfortable
with basic web and image editing (no HTML experience is needed). Applicants
should familiarize themselves with the Cultural Anthropology website so
they have a good sense of the kinds of writing and media production they
would be creating: http://culanth.org/
Application process: If you are interested in applying for the editorial
internship program, send a CV along with a statement of interest describing
your own research interests and what you could contribute to the SCA’s
website and social media channels. If you are interested in working on
specific sections of the website, please mention this in your statement
(see section descriptions below). Although no previous online publishing
experience is required for the position, if you do have blogging, social
media, or other online curatorial work experience, please include links
and/or excerpts with your application. Statements should not exceed 500
words. Please email all application materials to this address:
[log in to unmask], preferably before November 20th.
We are currently looking for interns who would be interested in taking up
responsibilities for one or more of the following tasks:
Supplemental Pages and other occasional Fieldsight posts: New interns work
under the direction of section editors and the managing editor on various
projects. These could include writing supplemental materials for journal
articles (i.e., select the Supplemental Material tag in an article in our
August issue), organizing a curated collection of past journal articles
around a specific theme, reporting on events and conferences for Anthro
Happenings, and other occasional posts on the Fieldsights section of the
website. While the time commitment is variable, depending on how many
projects you decide to take on, you will be expected to take on a minimum
number of two supplemental page or other content per year.
Social Media Team: Interested in contributing to one of the leading voices
in the online anthropology community? The social media team helps manage
the digital presence of the SCA on Facebook, Twitter, and other social
networks. You must be able to commit to managing the SCA’s social media for
one week every two months and participate in monthly online meetings.
Visual and New Media Review: Visual and New Media Review is a curated blog
that features the work of anthropologists, artists, and other scholars
working at the intersection of ethnography, visual and digital media, and
other modes of non-textual oriented scholarship. We showcase ethnographic
film, multimedia ethnography, and innovative media projects that are
pushing the boundaries of scholarly production, in addition to reviews,
interviews, and news on film festivals and other relevant events. Expected
time commitment is approximately 3 hrs/wk, but this ebbs and flows with
projects.
Field Notes: Field Notes is a conversation among four invited
anthropologists and the Cultural Anthropology community. Each conversation
speaks to a theme, given in advance, which anthropologists often must
ponder or struggle with as they try to make sense of what happens around
them in the field. Speaking from their fieldwork experiences, the writers
approach each theme using one of four motivating keywords: provocation,
translation, deviation, or integration. Field Notes is looking for section
co-editors who will help plan, edit, and post Field Notes rounds (min. 4
hours per month) and round organizers to propose a theme, invite four
contributors, and help section editors edit and post content (Minimum one
round, 10-15 hours per round over 2-3 months.)
AnthroPod: The AnthroPod team meets every other week for about one hour
over Skype to discuss upcoming podcasts. Join the team to pitch ideas for
podcasts, conduct interviews for future episodes, and edit the audio for
final production. Time commitment can vary according to members’ schedules
and desired roles within a given episode. No prior experience in audio
production is required. The team will provide guidance and training to all
new members.
Teaching Tools: Teaching Tools is a resource for faculty and students in
anthropology and related fields. It provides tools and advice for enhanced
teaching practice, as well as lesson plans for specific subjects that
reflect the themes and issues covered in Cultural Anthropology. Expected
commitment to complete two Teaching Tools pages per year, if this is your
primary project or one if this is your secondary project.

[1] Submission - Conference - Changing Asia in the Globalizing World:
Boundaries, Identity, and Transnationalism - York University - Deadline
November 20, 2014
York Centre for Asian Research (YCAR) Third International Graduate Student
Conference
May 1-2, 2015 | York University, Glendon Campus, Toronto, Canada
The concept of “Asia” implies a fixed geographical, demographic, economic,
political, and cultural region. However, viewed from multiple perspectives,
its “essence” becomes indeterminate and boundaries fuzzy. From colonization
to decolonization, from military invasion to cultural inter-penetration,
from international power struggle to regional association, Asia and Asian
Diasporas are affected by and affecting globalization in various ways.
YCAR’s Third International Graduate Student Conference will explore three
interconnected themes related to the changing landscape and redefinition of
Asia and Asian Diasporas:
- How do immigration, transportation, communication, cooperation, and other
forms of interaction create, maintain, rupture, and transcend the cultural,
political, geographical and historical boundaries of Asia? How do we
research the “in-between” spaces and concepts such as diasporas and
borderlands, which, while premised on the existence of boundaries, contain
a subversive potential?
- How has globalization shaped Asia’s identities? How are place-bound
identities constructed within the diaspora?
- Within the context of transnationalism, how do flows of people, ideas,
goods, capital, and technologies subvert or stabilize the center-periphery
relations? How is the geography of knowledge implicated in the geography of
politics beyond the boundary of the nation state?
The conference is multidisciplinary, and we encourage submissions that
bring together various theories, methods, and empirical findings in new and
creative ways. We welcome submissions from area studies, cultural studies,
literary studies, media studies, history, religious studies, women’s
studies, disability studies, urban studies, communication studies, art
history, philosophy, geography, sociology, anthropology, political science,
and other academic disciplines.
Topics or perspective may include, but are not limited to:
- Epistemology and methodology
- Globalization and indigenization
- Governance and development
- History and theory
- Migration and diaspora
- Political ecology
- Race, gender, and class
- Social movements and social justice
- Cultural contact and identity
- Acculturation, assimilation, transculturation, and hybridization
Interested participants should submit by email a paper title, abstract
with keywords (250 words maximum) along with brief biographical information
(name, affiliation, stage of graduate study) by November 20, 2014. All
information should be included in one Word document attached to the email.
Please save the Word document with your name as the file name. Please email
submissions to the conference organizers at: [log in to unmask]
There may be an opportunity to collaborate on a common peer-reviewed
publication, which will be discussed at the conference. More information
about the conference can be found on the web site:

[2] Panelist - Language, Islam and Sexuality in French/Francophone Cultures
- 22nd Annual Lavender Languages & Linguistics Conference - The American
University in Washington, DC - Deadline: December 1, 2014
This panel will adopt an intersectional approach to examine language,
sexuality, and the Islamic faith in French and Francophone cultures.
Papers under development for this session include ethnographic fieldwork on
growing up “gay,” “Muslim,” and “beur” (second-generation North African
French) in the Paris banlieue, as well as “gay Muslims” growing up in the
French countryside. Scholars working on language-focused papers in any
disciplinary background are encouraged to submit a proposal, and we would
particularly encourage papers focusing on first-person narratives as well
as cinematic, literary, and photographic cultural productions from other
French-speaking countries that would complement this fieldwork on France.
Please send proposals to Dr. Denis M. Provencher ([log in to unmask]) by
December 1, 2014. Conference dates are 13-15 February 2015.

[3] Submission - Chapter in Edited Volume - The Assault on Communities of
Color: Reactions and Responses From The Academy - Deadline: December 1, 2014
The United States is not post-racial, despite any claim otherwise. The days
of lynching on trees have been replaced with a modern form of racism and
race-based violence that is equally strong, in many ways more difficult to
untangle, and often results in the killing of Black Americans, particularly
males. While society may believe we moved on from the killings of Black
males like Emmett Till, contemporary history tells us another story with
the recent killings of Trayvon Martin at the hands of a neighborhood
watchman and now Michael Brown at the hands of a police officer. While
their deaths are tragic enough to spend entire volumes on, the real tragedy
is that the incidents that are making the news are not the only cases of
assault on Black males or communities of color in America. The volume under
contract takes seriously the need for a concentrated and powerful dialogue
to emerge in the wake of these murders that illuminates the assault on
Black males specifically and communities of color in general, in a powerful
and provocative way. The volume aims to be a series of conversation
starters written by academics who do race work, but written with a general
audience in mind. Consequently, the chapters in this volume will be short –
2,000 words (maximum) or less and WITHOUT academic citations. Academic
citations may invite a sterilization of the topic and strip the text of its
transformative power by reducing the assault on Black males to an academic
conversation. Instead, this volume will include pro-active and impassioned
voices. The volume’s collection of essays will cut to the heart of the
matter using both the events in Ferguson, Missouri (Michael Brown) and
Sanford, Florida (Trayvon Martin) as points of departure. Throughout the
volume, the voices will have interludes of creative writing from children,
adolescents, community activists, and creative writers, to add a further
dimension to the volume.Volume Editors: Fasching-Varner, Hartlep, Albert,
Mitchell, Hayes, Martin, Matias, & Allen under contract with Rowman &
Littlefield
Organization of the Book
The volume will be organized into four sections: (1) Contradicting
Realities in the Mythical Post Racial, (2) Racism and Violence Against
Minority and Minoritized Communities, (3) The Black Male Experience in the
United States, and (4) The Fight for Equity: Communities Speak Up and Out.
We welcome you to submit a chapter for consideration. The 2,000 word
chapter, without citations, would be due on December 1, 2014. We will be
in touch shortly after with notification as to if the chapter will be
accepted for publication.Send chapters to Kenneth Fasching-Varner at

education and the learning of the past century, and look ahead to the most
challenging issues and promising directions for the next century.
Read the Full Call for Proposals:
http://www.aera.net/Publications/CallforArticleSubmissionsforCentennialVolumeofReviewofResearchinEducation/tabid/15627/Default.aspx
Deadline for Submissions: December 15, 2014

many subfields and overlapping arenas of inquiry that constitute education
research and from adjacent disciplines and fields where there is relevant
research and expertise.
Scholars with a passion for critically examining topics, synthesizing and
integrating bodies of knowledge, and reflectively assessing what we know
and the issues that should drive future research would be ideal authors to
consider submission to this volume of RRE.
The Centennial RRE volume will publish work that contributes to cumulative
knowledge, captures research developments and findings of sustained
significance, and addresses research innovations anchored in their time or
place that can shape directions of scholarly promise and potential for the
future.
[5] Conference - Call for Papers - Learning, Education, Identities, and
Musical Experiences: Ethnographic Approaches - Universidad Autonoma de
Madrid - Deadline: January 16, 2015
This small two-day conference/workshop welcomes empirical and
methodological papers that document and discuss the place of music and
closely related expressive practices in the daily lives of people across
the life-span and in a variety of institutional and socio-cultural
settings. We are particularly interested in studies that can make a
contribution to one or both of the following strands of discussion:
(1) Studies in which learning processes and practices, conceptually defined
in a variety of ways and either in formal or informal settings, occupy a
privileged position.
(2) Papers that expand traditional forms of ethnographic fieldwork and
analysis, pay attention to multi-modal and multi-sensorial aspects of
experience or incorporate participatory approaches and/or document digital
on-line contexts.
Papers may examine engagement in music by professional musicians or
amateurs, by social actors for whom musical engagement plays a central role
in their identities and life-projects or studies that examine the location
of music within the daily lives and social practices of music fans or more
casual "music consumers". The selection of papers will attempt to capture a
full range of socio-cultural contexts, scenarios and social actors for
which musical experiences plays an analytically relevant role.
Send 500 word abstracts to: [log in to unmask] In a single
document include the following information: (a) author details: name and
affiliation; (b) abstract indicating clearly research context and
procedures for "empirical" papers or central methodological questions for
"methodological" papers; (c) if necessary, additional information regarding
the type of presentation the authors would like to prepare.
Submission deadline: 16 January 2015
Decision notification: 6 February 2015
Registration and submission of pre-conference materials: before 21 March
2015
