*[1] Contest - Students Storytellers - SHHRC*

 Le français suit.

SHHRC has recently launched its third annual Storytellers contest
<http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/storytellers>, challenging postsecondary
students to show Canadians how social sciences and humanities research
affects our lives, our world and our future prosperity.

The contest is open to all students, graduate and undergraduate, enrolled
at Canadian postsecondary institutions. Their task is to tell the story, in
3 minutes or 300 words, of a SSHRC-funded research project—their own or a
professor’s—taking place at their institution. We will select 25 finalists
to receive a $3000 cash prize and specialized training in research
communications.

We encourage you to spread the word to students, as well as to faculty who
may wish to encourage a student to profile their SSHRC-funded research.

For details on this year’s Storytellers challenge, please follow us on
Twitter <http://twitter.com/SSHRC_CRSH>, watch the #SSHRCStorytellers

*[1] Panel - Conference - At the crossroads where colorblind America meets
#blacklivesmatter: Children and youth perspectives on race and inequality -
Anthropology of Children and Youth Interest Group Long Beach conference*

I'm looking for people interested in participating in a panel exploring
children and youth perspectives on race and inequality at the March
Anthropology of Children and Youth Interest Group Long Beach conference --
the tentative title and very brief description are below, but I'm also
happy to shape the conversation in dialogue with any or you that are
interested. Please email me directly at
[log in to unmask]

Title: At the crossroads where colorblind America meets #blacklivesmatter:
Children and youth perspectives on race and inequality

This panel will explore how children and youth analyze race and inequality
at this strange moment where colorblind post-racial discourses butt heads
against emerging #blacklivesmatter social movements in the aftermath of
Ferguson and other recent police violence. I'm particularly interested in
exploring how young people experience and develop understandings of race
and inequality in the context of shifting geographies of inequality (for
example in poor suburbs, gentrifying central cities, magnet schools, etc).
Papers could include viewpoints from within the United States or
transnational perspectives, might explore divergent understandings of race
and racism among different ages and/or social groups, as well as young
people's social action or activism in response to racial
inequality or racist violence.

My own paper will focus on how incarcerated youth think about the
significance of race in the "melting pot suburbs' of Los Angeles – where
youth are often taught to be color blind and yet see the stark significance
of racial and class divides in their daily lives. I will show how youth
articulate clear critiques of the ways black and latino lives are devalued
as they use maps and stories to interpret the unequal suburban landscapes
of the Los Angeles region.

Please let me know if you are interested in participating.
Thanks

Jennifer Tilton

*[2] Submission - Conference - Freedom and Responsibility - Sociology and
Anthropology Graduate Students’ Association (SAGSA) Annual Conference -
Deadline: January 12, 2015*

The Sociology and Anthropology Graduate Students’ Association (SAGSA)
annual conference

Freedom and Responsibility

There is an inherent tension between conceptions of freedom and
responsibility; "A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that
comes with his movement between the two requires careful mediation. Further
complicating matters of progress is a sense of hope. Hope changes how the
social landscapes of individuals and freedom groups are imagined, and is
central to encouraging development, pushing limits, and revealing
capabilities that contribute to the ongoing formation of the social world.
In doing so, an interesting intersection has formed between the notion of
Hope, Freedom andResponsibility, and as such has inspired the theme for The
Sociology and Anthropology Graduate Students’ Association (SAGSA) 2015
conference.

In the spirit of promoting a lively conversation about Hope, Freedom and
Responsibility, SAGSA invites paper and poster proposals from graduate
students from various disciplines. Possible themes could include, but are
not limited to:

 Social movements and solidarity

 Responsible governance

 Citizenship and morality

 Cultural liberty and justice

 Technological progress

 Social change and development

 Emotional discourses of hope

 The body in society

Submission Requirements: Please submit an abstract (250 words) with a brief
bibliography (3-5 sources) to [log in to unmask] The deadline for
submission is January 12th 2015 and notification of acceptance will be sent
by February 3rd 2015. The conference format will consist of sessions of
three to four panelists who will each have 15 minutes for their
presentation, followed by a question period.

CASCA (Canadian Anthropology Society/ Société canadienne d’anthropologie)

Annual Conference/Colloque annuel

Landscapes of Knowledges/Paysages des connaissances

Université Laval, Québec, 13 – 16 mai 2015

CALL FOR PAPERS/APPEL À COMMUNICATIONS

 PANEL: Family Care and E-motions in Contexts of Transnational Migration

 ORGANIZERS/ORGANISATRICES:

Angélica H. Silva, Université de Montréal

Aranzazu Recalde, McGill University

 Our panel looks at processes of home-making and caregiving as these
intersect with international mobility under current forms of neoliberal
capitalism. We examine the embodied, everyday, experiences and
circumstances of migrant women and men who engage in (re)creating home
abroad while caring transnationally and locally for diverse relatives. Our
panel pays particular attention to life projects, household trajectories
and life cycles; the unequal and shifting caring roles performed by diverse
family members, which are shaped by cultural, kinship and gendered
expectations often endorsed by states; the emotional and socio-economic
considerations underpinning decisions to migrate or be “on the move”; the
increasingly restrictive migration/citizenship regimes implemented by
(many) states, which have produced temporary and precarious forms of
membership for those considered undeserving; and the diverse uses of
Internet communication technologies to (re)imagine and (re)negotiate a
sense of belonging among members of transnational families. Our panel seeks
to shed light on the role that e-motions play in determining mobility as
well as on the caregiving practices, experiences and circumstances of
diversely positioned family members and others considered kin in contexts
of south-north, south-south, north-north and north-south migrations.

 We invite papers in English and French that, drawing on diverse analytical
and methodological perspectives, examine some of the above-mentioned or
related issues. If interested, please, send us your abstract (100-150
words) by February 1, 2015 [log in to unmask] and

*[4] Manuscript - Journal Special Issue - Complicating the Politics of
Deservingness: A Critical Look at Latina/o Undocumented Migrant Youth -
Deadline: April 15, 2015*

CALL FOR PAPERS
Association of Mexican American Educators (AMAE) Journal Special Issue

Complicating the Politics of Deservingness: A Critical Look at Latina/o
Undocumented Migrant Youth

Guest Editors: Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales  (University of San Francisco),
Leisy Abrego (University of California, Los Angeles) and Kathleen Coll
(University of San Francisco)

The separation of marginalized people into categories of
deserving/undeserving, civil/uncivil, and worthy/unworthy is not new; yet
it took on a new dimension when, in the summer of 2014, tens of thousands
of Central American refugee children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border made
headlines. Although the migration and settlement of Mexican and Central
American children has a long history, for the first time, the public saw
images of children packed into bare rooms, sleeping on the floor, in
overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. The collective, if short-lived,
outrage was later followed simultaneously by angry protests that blocked
buses of children from entering towns and supporters who welcomed them.
Protesters considered them dangerous invaders while supporters invoked
notions of innocent childhood. The media coverage and competing actions
opened the space for conversations about what is now very clearly a
“broken” U.S. immigration system tied to violently consequential foreign
policies in the region. Indeed, undocumented youth in the immigrant rights
movement have been mobilizing to put an end to the reprehensible immigrant
detention and deportation system that makes them and their families
vulnerable.

In this special issue, we aim to highlight the complex and important ways
in which the experiences and institutional interactions of refugee
children, undocumented youth, and young immigrants are both distinct and
interconnected. Challenging notions of deservingness that distinguish
between “good” versus “bad” immigrants, we solicit contributions informed
by a structural analysis of childhood and youth as it has played out in the
discourse about the lived experiences of immigrant youth and their
families. Our goal is to open the space for a critical immigration
scholarship that grapples with the production of illegality, citizenship as
a commodity, and a disruption of the deserving/undeserving immigrant
narrative. We invite pieces that complicate the contemporary conversation
about undocumented young people as well as those that problematize the myth
of a U.S. context that protects childhood and families of color.

The special issue will bring together conversations about “DREAMers,”
unaccompanied migrant children, and grassroots struggles working to
transform the current immigration system and end the institutional violence
it engenders. Together, submissions will acknowledge U.S. intervention,
global capitalism, geopolitics, and racism in this multi-layered migration
regime. We are particularly interested in manuscripts that are
interdisciplinary and that engage with the complexity of these dynamics and
the nuances in the broader field. We welcome manuscripts that offer
theoretical perspectives; research findings; innovative methodologies;
pedagogical reflections; and implications related to (but not limited to)
the following areas:
●      Political subjectivities of “DREAMers” & unDACAmented youth
●      The unaccompanied child migrant “crisis”
●      Grassroots activism around immigrant rights
●      Deportation, detention, and the state
●      The politics of a divide between “deserving” children and
“undeserving” adult immigrants
●      Undocumented children and the educational system
●      Legal services provision and due process for youth
●      Local and municipal responses to federal policies
●      The relationship between immigration debates and the welfare and
carceral systems

Submissions suitable for publication in this special issue include
empirical papers, theoretical/conceptual papers, historical work, essays,
book reviews, and poems. It is important to note that the special issue is
interested in the broader Latina/o experience and not solely focused on the
experiences of Mexican Americans (per the title of the journal).

The selection of manuscripts will be conducted as follows:
1. Manuscripts will be judged on strength and relevance to the theme of the
special issue.
2. Manuscripts should not have been previously published in another
journal, nor should they be under consideration by another journal at the
time of submission.
3. Each manuscript will be subjected to a blind review by a panel of
reviewers with expertise in the area treated by the manuscript. Those
manuscripts recommended by the panel of experts will then be considered by
the AMAE guest editors and editorial board, which will make the final
selections.

Manuscripts should be submitted as follows:
1. Submit via email both a cover letter and copy of the manuscript in
Microsoft Word to: Dr. Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales ( [log in to unmask]
<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ).
2. Cover letter should include name, title, short author bio (100 words),
and institutional affiliation; indicate the type of manuscript submitted
and the number of words, including references. Also, please indicate how
your manuscript addresses the call for papers.
3. Manuscripts should be no longer than 7,000 words (including references)
and have an abstract of 200 words or less. Please follow the standard
format of the American Psychological Association (APA). Include within the
text all illustrations, charts, and graphs. Manuscripts may also be
submitted in Spanish.

Deadline for submissions is April 15, 2015. Please address questions to Dr.
Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales ([log in to unmask]<mailto:
[log in to unmask]> ) or Dr. Patricia Sánchez (
[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ). Authors will
be asked to address revisions to their manuscripts during the summer months
of 2015. This special issue is due to be published in December 2015.

*[3]  Proposals - Scholarship - Research Project -Field School for Social
and Cultural Anthropology - 2015 Malta Summer School - Malta, Europe -
Deadline: January 25, 2015*

10th Edition of the Field School for Social and Cultural Anthropology
Gozo (Malta), Europe
June 10, 2015 - June 29
July 4, 2015 - July 23
July 28, 2015 - August 16

CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIP PROPOSALS

This call is aimed at budding researchers with a creative and open mind
towards the challenges of applied research. We offer a unique learning
opportunity in a multidisciplinary research project on the isle of Gozo,
Malta. Expeditions and the University of Leuven hand out eight scholarships
that cover part or all of the tuition fee for the 2015 Malta Summer School.
Scholarships are granted on a competitive basis, based on a research
proposal.

More information on the project can be find on:
www.anthropologyfieldschool.org

Eligible candidates

· Undergraduate and graduate students
· PhD students
· Everyone with a genuine interest in anthropology
· Previous participants of the project

Selection is NOT based on academic merit, originality or complexity. We aim
for enthusiasm, dedication and creativity. In the past years even students
who were not enrolled in an anthropology program got scholarships for the
project.

Selection Procedure

Candidates are invited to propose two or more creative research concepts
that can be performed during the summer school. So the research topic has
to relate to something on which you can do fieldwork on Malta, and
preferably Gozo.

From these proposals, the academic board of Expeditions will select 15
different candidates to work out a more detailed research plan within a
deadline of two months (February/March). The three best research proposals
will be granted a full scholarship. The next five runners-up will be
granted a scholarship of 1,700.00? (about 60% of the total tuition) which
will be deducted from their tuition fee.

In the first stage:
· All submissions will compete equally. You are allowed to send in as much
research ideas as you like.
· Concepts should be rudimentarily explained.
· Applicants are asked to focus on creativity and an initial-stage
argumentation on why the research is valuable.

After initial acceptance:
· Applicants will develop further one selected proposal under assistance of
our tutors (via e-mail or skype).
· Elaboration on feasibility, methodology and research layouts should
fleshed out in this stage only
· Final research proposals to be submitted within two months after initial
acceptance

How to apply?

· Send us 2 or more research concepts (but at least two!).
· 150-250 words per research concept.
· Submitting can only be done through the form on our website.
· The deadline for submissions is January 25th, 2015.

Please note that the number of students accepted in the program is limited.
Scholarships will be granted only after the completion of the selection
procedure, while registration is open to non-scholarship participants. In
case you wish to join the project even if you don't get the scholarship, we
advise to register through the regular procedure as early as possible since
non-scholarship slots are usually filled by the end of December.

More information on the project can be find on:

Please join us Friday, January 9th, for our next Technoscience Salon on

DATA’S AFFECTS AND EFFECTS

Salon Theme: This Salon extends the theme of “Activating Evidence” to think
through data’s effects as well as its affects. It considers practices and
infrastructures of data collection, curation, storage, and retrieval to
think through the ways that data is mediated and made meaningful. In
addition to asking how data arrangements shape the terrain of what is known
and not known, the aim of this Salon is to examine the multiple ways data
is charged with affect. We are concerned with the affectivity of
truth-telling through data. At stake here is the question of the ways that
affects condition data and contour evidentiary regimes. Read more about our
provocation here <http://technosalon.wordpress.com/provocation/>.
