[1] Call for Paper Abstracts - SPA Panel - Violent Talk and the Negotiation of Social Experience - Deadline: January 18, 2015
SPA Panel Abstract: Violent Talk and the Negotiation of Social Experience
In anthropology, talk about violence is often taken at face value, as reflecting traumatic violent experience and suffering. In such accounts, discourse about violence is taken as essentially referential, as describing past experiences. But people may talk about violence for many different reasons— for example to joke, transform relationships, and express complex sentiments. Such discourse, moreover, may or may not reflect actual violent experiences. In both Morocco and the Marshall Islands, children and adults talk a lot about the graphic violence they have witnessed, perpetrated, or been subjected to, and yet this talk often does not seem to correspond to actual behavior. In Morocco, humor and joking are often infused into these accounts, along with quick transitions between playful and angry affect, which complicates these less than straightforward accounts. In the Marshall Islands, children use physical imagery to organize power hierarchies and engage in imaginative play. This panel explores how talk about violence structures relationships and experience in unexpected ways. We welcome papers that consider violent discourse using semiotic, psychoanalytic, and other theoretical approaches. If you are interested in presenting on the topic, please send an abstract to Christine El Ouardani ([log in to unmask]) and Elise Berman ([log in to unmask]) by Sunday January 18th.
NOTE: We are interested in putting together a panel on the way in which talk about violence is used in the everyday lives of children and adults in unexpected ways. We’ve purposely left this abstract a bit vague, in order to see what kinds of papers others may be interested in presenting, at which point we will write a much more specific panel abstract.
[2] Call for Panel and Paper Abstracts - Society for the Anthropology of Religion Meeting - Deadline: January 30, 2015
The deadline for submitting panel and paper abstracts for the 2015 SAR Biennial Meeting has been extended until January 30, 2015. Proposals should be sent to Adeline Masquelier at <[log in to unmask]>. As previously announced, the meeting will take place April 16-19, 2015 in San Diego, CA. The meeting theme is "Religion, Ritual and Morality." We have secured very reasonable room rates with the Handlery Hotel where the meeting will be held. They are $119 for singles and doubles, $139 for triples. With its mild temperatures, its beaches, and its many cultural attractions, San Diego is the perfect destination in April.
Paper abstracts should be not more than 250 words and should include the presenters name, institution, and email address. Panel Abstracts should be not more than 500 words (not counting the abstracts for the constituent papers). Panels can be of a range of sizes but paper presentations should not be longer than 20 minutes. Further information about the meeting can be found at: http://www.aaanet.org/sections/sar/index.php/activities/meeting/
[3] Call for Paper Abstracts - Inequality, Equality and Difference - Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA) Meeting - April 16-18, NYC - Deadline: January 30th, 2015
Inequality has recently found its way back into popular discourse. Buffeted by economic and ecological crises and haunted by a welfare-turned-surveillance state, many have come to doubt the ability of the present social system to produce an equitable, sustainable society. This doubt undergirded social movements from the Right and Left, with widely ranging demands, and has in turn been taken up particularly by a liberal economic, political, and intellectual ?establishment.? Some see a genuine opportunity to reduce and eliminate inequality while others see a cynical rearguard defense of an unequal system in crisis. North American anthropologists have historically had a great deal to say about inequality. From bodies to body politics, inequalities can be made highly visible for radical or conservative aims or effaced under other logics of difference and power (e.g. ?national security,? ?public safety,? ?economic growth?). Inequality can be many things: lived experience, social metrics, an administered and organized system of difference, a deviation from an ideal state of equality, a legal criteria, a problem in need of activist or institutional intervention. Inequality, in these definitions, doggedly and systemically persists?as does the belief in an often under-theorized equality. In this vein, we ask:
* When does inequality become legible and illegible? Through what discourses, practices, and logics? To whom? Toward what end?
* Who makes interventions to address inequality? How do these articulate with or oppose systems of rule? What rules, rulers, and rulings stabilize unequal conditions and deliver equality?
* How do frames of ?inequality? and ?equality? differ from other frames of difference and power, like those that separate humans from the natural world, citizens from non-citizens, states from people, able-bodied and differently-abled people, and propertied from non-propertied?
* Why do some forms of inequality?gay marriage, drug laws, healthcare and food systems?seem amenable to a degree of rectification while other systems of inequality production?voter laws, immigrant rights, redevelopment, trade pacts, intelligence capacities, racialized policing?seem impervious to redress?
* Can conditions of inequality be something other than oppressive? How do people re-signify inequality?
* Where and what is equality?
This conference will be organized into four thematic tracks, listed below. Each track will be comprised of a group of participants who will engage in two days of sustained engagement. The tracks have been selected based on their openness and applicability to a range of potential topics. Each track is open to a mixture of mode of participation: interlocutor sessions, roundtables, panel presentations, in-depth explorations, field trips, performances, etc. Each track has a track editor who has designed the theme and is working with the Conference Chair to design the schedule. We encourage session and track interactions (circulated papers, thoughts, shared documents, postings, etc) leading up to the conference so as to make conference interactions as substantive and productive as possible. The conference is perhaps best conceived as a kind of collectively produced mini-school where we come to learn from and teach each other. It is a time for intimate and sustained interactions with a consistent group of colleagues dedicated to thinking through particular themes. It works best when participants make connections between sessions and thematic discussions build over the course of the 2-day engagement. To that end, each day will conclude with a plenary discussion to summarize and make links among emerging themes. Everyone who hopes to participate should choose one of the tracks below in which to participate. For full track descriptions, please visit: http://sananet.org/sanaconference.php
1) Aftermath : This track will connect work synthesizing and interpreting social realities that surface after moments of catastrophe, resistance, or social upheaval. We explore ethnography in the moments following perceived crises or victories and the ramifications for people?s political imaginations. Our track continues the discussion from the last SANA conference of ?the end times? by asking what it means to do anthropology in the aftermaths?of welfare as we know it, 9/11, Occupy Wall Street, two terms of a ?post-racial? presidency, or other topics. (Editors: Mannissa Maharawal, Mark Porter Webb, Nazia Kazi)
2) Equality Measures -- This track examines both public and private initiatives to reduce inequalities in health, housing, education, criminal justice, and other realms. We welcome papers that explore how (in)equality is measured as well as the measures various actors take to address inequalities, and how evidence is put to use toward equality-making practices. (Editors: Elizabeth Youngling and Emily Metzner)
3) Anthropology on the Ground : Anthropologists can stand witness. We can accept our social complicity while acting against structural violence. We can enact a direct commitment to be there on the ground as witnesses and actors for change. This track seeks anthropologists and community activists who are engaged on the ground, as witnesses to social justice struggles, as activists, as advocates. We seek submissions from those who share with us the view of ?the field,? not as a place for data extraction but, instead, as places of theory formation, praxis, and activist-oriented witnessing. (Editor: Charles Menzies)
4) Postindustrial Landscapes : We invite proposals that explore the precarity and inequality produced by toxic or sustainable, extractive or revitalizing, transformations of North American landscapes, broadly defined to include sociological, ecological, and ontological spaces. We seek new kinds of community studies that link local events to global networks, bridging rural-urban and human-nonhuman divides. (Editors: Kathryn Dudley, Alexander Blanchette, Chloe Taft, Alison Kanosky, and Rebecca Jacobs)
Submission Information
Anyone interested in participating is welcome to submit a singular proposal or a proposal for a group panel or session relating to one of the tracks above and speaking to the overarching theme. If you are proposing a panel or session, you should have confirmation from each potential participant at the time of application.
Proposals should be submitted to Michael Polson, Conference Chair, at [log in to unmask]. Paper abstracts may be up to 250 words and panel abstracts may be up to 500 words. All proposals should indicate the track in which you would like to participate. The deadline for submission is Friday January 30. Abstracts will be reviewed by the Chair and Conference Committee in coordination with the Track Editors. We will notify participants in mid- to late-February. Information on conference registration will be forthcoming. For any questions about the tracks or the conference please direct emails to [log in to unmask]
Conference Information
The 2015 conference of the Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA) will take place April 16-18 at John Jay College of the City University of New York. Under a Progressive inequality-minded mayor, with a police department racked by its own inequality-producing tactics, and a financial district that is a pivot of inequality production and the movement against inequality, New York City is a fitting place for this conference. The conference will be organized around several tracks, each comprising two days of sustained discussion and analysis around issues of key importance to North American society.
[4] Call for Conference Submissions - International Conference: Digital Literary Studies - School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra, Portugal - Deadline Extended - January 31, 2015

We have some flexibility with regard to start and end dates as long as summer interns make at least an eight-week commitment.This internship program is primarily for law students. However, in previous summers we have taken other graduate and undergraduate students who show a keen interest and relevant experience in the field.
Summer interns are unpaid. They are eligible for all public interest fellowships including law school summer public interest funding programs that may be available through their schools (these vary by school) and EJA. CHLPI program staff will support accepted candidates with whatever paperwork is needed from the sponsoring organization for these applications.

Information about the Food Law and Policy Clinic:The Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC) aims to increase access to healthy foods, prevent diet-related diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, and assist small and sustainable farmers and producers in breaking into new commercial food markets.Summer interns in the Food Law and Policy Clinic (FLPC) have the unique opportunity to engage in action-based learning to gain a deeper understanding of the complex challenges facing our current food system. Interns get hands-on experience conducting legal and policy research for individuals, community groups, and government agencies on a wide range of food law and policy issues, and are challenged to develop creative legal and policy solutions to pressing food issues, applying their knowledge from the law school classroom to real- world situations. Examples of project areas include providing policy guidance and advocacy trainings to state and local food policy councils, assessing how food safety regulations could be amended to increase economic opportunities for small local producers, recommending policies to increase access to healthy food for low-income communities, and identifying and breaking down legal barriers inhibiting small-scale and sustainable food production.FLPC interns have the opportunity to practice a number of valuable skills, including legal research and writing, drafting legislation and regulations, commenting on agency actions, public speaking and trainings, and community organizing, among others. Interns also have the opportunity to travel to meet with clients; for example, FLPC travels to work in places like Mississippi, Tennessee, Navajo Nation, and La Paz, Bolivia.
