[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 Scicluna, [log in to unmask] and Brent Pilkey, [log in to unmask]
[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.
Please send your submission by January 31, 2015 to

be directed to Kiran
Jayaram at the above e-mail address.
[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

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.

[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
<http://socanth.tu.ac.th/iuaes2015/2014/10/p1-08-the-politics-of-religious-space-making/>
