[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: http://www.yorku.ca/ycar/Events/reconstructions_graduate_conference.html
[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.

[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 Louisiana State University: [log in to unmask]
[4] Submission - Proposal - Centennial Volume of Review of Research in Education “Education Research and its Second Century” - Deadline: December 15, 2014

[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
Workshop: 17-18 April 2015
