[1] Conference Abstracts - This American Muslim Life:  The Cultural
Politics of Asserting the Familiar- AAA 2015 - Deadline: February 14, 2015

-Conference theme:  “Familiar/Strange”

-Organizers: Maria Curtis (University of Houston-Clear Lake) and Alisa
Perkins (Western Michigan University)

Recent coverage of the Charlie Hebdo incident in France casts a long shadow
over Muslims living in the West, publically asserting an austere face of
Islam that is far “stranger” than the everyday experience of most
practitioners.  This panel asks why must Islam in the West be “made
strange,” and what does a lived Islam grounded in ethnographic perspective
look like once it is plucked from the familiar/strange duality and instead
viewed as an American Muslim “way of knowing.” We aim to collectively
examine how Muslims in America are blurring lines by carrying out aspects
of their everyday lives “in a Muslim way” (Henkel 2008). Papers may cover a
wide range of topics examining how familiar ways of doing things take on
novel meanings for Muslims as they are rehearsed in American spaces; and/or
how non-Muslims reinterpret American spaces or cultural life by engaging
with Muslim minority cultural, material, and institutional forms. The aim
of the panel is to build an understanding of how Muslim minorities expand
religious and cultural boundaries in an American scene already crowded with
multisecularisms on the one hand, and neoconservatisms on the other. What
is at stake for Muslim Americans when they are called upon to answer for
the “stranger” articulations of political Islam, and in an environment of
overdetermined “strangeness” is an authentic Muslim American “familiar”
tenable?  Papers may include a focus on space and public culture,
materiality, institution building, conversion, the poetics of personal
life, festivals and demonstrations, performance and artistic production,
political activism, legal and civic engagement, interfaith movements,
cityscapes, education, cultural brokerage, Muslim business and finance, and
halal foodways.

Please send a 250 word abstract and a title for your proposed contribution
to both Maria Curtis ([log in to unmask]) and Alisa Perkins (
[log in to unmask]) by Saturday, Feb 14th.  Authors of accepted
proposals will be notified via email by Monday Feb 16th.  Please contact us
in advance with any questions about this proposed panel session.

[2] Conference Abstracts - Policing, Estrangement, and Social Inequalities:
Denaturalizing Law Enforcement and Police-based Governance - 2015 American
Anthropological Association Meeting - Deadline: February 15, 2015

 From Michael Brown to Eric Garner and beyond, recent public attention to
African American deaths occurring at the hands of law enforcement officers
in the United States has reignited familiar conversations about police
relationships with minority communities. Meanwhile, just as President
Obama’s year-end immigration announcement pledges to shift the landscape of
immigrant policing across the country, we reach a record-high 2.5 million
deportations on his watch. While anthropology has long played a critical
role in exposing how regimes of social control are perpetuated through
taken-for-granted, normalized systems of authority, events such as these
suggest there may be a renewed public space for anthropological
intervention that helps draw attention to policing and make sense of its
effects. Following this year’s AAA theme calling for questioning the
familiar and making it strange, we seek papers that denaturalize policing
and law enforcement and question how policing supports social inequalities.
We specifically seek papers that explore how policing, broadly conceived as
law enforcement actions or policy created with specific governing ideals,
reinforces power hierarchies based on race, sex, citizenship, or other
forms of social difference. In considering how policing may perpetuate
inequality, we also welcome ethnographic inquiry into how policing is
resisted, contested, and/or mediated as tensions emerge.  By making strange
regimes of social control operating through policing, we invite papers to
respond to the following or related questions:

·      How does police activity promote, reinforce, and conceal existing
forms of social difference, and in what ways can anthropologists respond?

·      How can policing estrange individuals, families, communities, and
broad populations, and what are the related consequences?

·      What strategies do some communities develop to resist, combat, and
cope with intense forms of policing?

·      What methodological and theoretical challenges are associated with
studying policing, and who or what may be obstructive in ethnographies of
police, policy, and power processes?

·      How does dialogue across subfields and disciplines aid or hinder our
abilities to scrutinize police activity, and what findings can be gleaned
through interdisciplinary collaboration?

Papers can be sent directly to Nolan Kline ([log in to unmask]) and
Angela Stuesse ([log in to unmask]) by February 15, 2015.

[3] Conference Abstracts - “Mobile Dwellings: Transportable Localities” -
AAA 2015 - Deadline: February 27, 2015

Mobile Dwellings: Transportable Localities

The mobile dwelling is familiar as a technology of leisure (e.g. an RV or
tent); as relief accommodation following natural disasters (e.g. "FEMA
trailers" after Hurricane Katrina); and as pre-fabricated homes towed from
factory to mobile home community. Yet when used in ways that deviate from
expectations, those same dwellings can become strange: for example, when an
RV or tent is inhabited beyond the time intervals understood to be
appropriate to "leisure" or "vacation"; when dwellings employed as crisis
shelters are inhabited beyond the time and place of an emergency or
disaster; or when residents of allegedly “mobile” homes hide their wheels
in an effort to blend in with the surrounding community. This panel seeks
to contribute to the broad anthropological literature on mobility by
focusing on mobile dwellings rather than mobile people. In doing so, the
papers in this session revisit many of the theoretical concerns that
motivated a turn to mobility in the first place. In many respects, a focus
on mobility addressed problems involved in the “localizing strategies”
through which older ethnographic writings represented relatively timeless
cultures fixed in space. Classic ethnographic devices like “the village,”
for example, tended to serve as a stable location for an equally stable
culture. In doing so, they obscured histories and practices of encounter
and creativity, and posed methodological difficulties in studying an
increasingly transnational circulation of goods, people, and discourse.
Emphasizing mobility has thus aided in recuperating the hybridity and
agency lost in accounts of authentic identities and cultures fixed in space
and time. If the critical thrust behind a turn to mobility depended upon an
opposition between geographic movement and the fixity of dwelling, these
terms demand reexamination once one shifts focus from mobile people to
mobile dwellings. In particular, what material qualities are involved in
the actual, potential, or expected movement of mobile dwellings? What
technologies, practices, and infrastructures make dwellings “mobile”? And
how do such objects complicate our understanding of mobility, fixity,
residence, and home? In addressing moments when otherwise familiar mobile
dwellings provoke controversy, this panel highlights the fact that
anthropological observers are not alone in deploying “localizing
strategies.” Long-term caravanners attempt to localize their homes by
materially altering (ostensibly) mobile dwellings. And opponents of
“trailer parks” mobilize political and legal authority in order to localize
stable visions of community membership that exclude (allegedly) mobile
manufactured homes. Questions of interest include (but are not limited to):
What material qualities make dwellings “mobile”? What legal, economic, or
social logics do mobile dwellings materially embody and/or challenge? To
what extent are mobile dwellings rendered strange at the very moment their
(presumed) mobility—the fact that they can be here one day and gone the
next—is incongruously projected onto the time horizons associated with
normative forms of sociality, community, and citizenship? What temporal
logics are involved in such standards of social belonging? How are such
standards applied to—and challenged by—mobile dwellings’ relationships to
infrastructures (broadly construed)? And how do various localizing
strategies shape persons and selves? We invite scholars whose work
addresses “mobile dwellings,” broadly defined, to join us for the 2015
American Anthropological Association meeting in Denver, Colorado. Please

[4] Chapter Submissions for Book - “Transcultural Flows in English Language
Education” - Deadline: March 1, 2015

In the current age of globalization, there are heightened demands for
English throughout the world, leading to transcultural flows that often
dictate what happens in the classroom and in other related transcultural
spaces. Pennycook (2007, p. 5) uses the term ‘transcultural flows’ to
“locate the spread and use of English within critical theories of
globalization.” He uses hip-hop as an example of how English language is
moving across the world and being taken up, appropriated, and remade into
new and hybrid forms that represent the local. Appadurai (1996) suggests
that transcultural flows are a product of modernity and migration resulting
in the need to reimagine and explore Diasporas within public spheres, while
also being phenomena that impact groups, societies, and nations. Giddens
(2000) examines these spaces of transcultural flows and re-imagination
which result in exploration and transformation of groups, societies, and
nations. Jenkins (2004) suggests that transcultural flows of popular

culture inspire new forms of global consciousness and cultural competency.

Tsing (2005) coined the term “friction” to discuss the relations that
result when cultures come together. As a starting point, this book
investigates the “collision” or “synthesis” that occurs between people when
cultures are shared and reconstructed in different contexts and result in
hybridity. By focusing on transcultural flows we can acknowledge the
hybridity in educational concepts and practices that emerge as a result of
relationships and processes that occur inside and outside of the classroom
as people and their cultures come together.

Scholars have argued that English is a global language because of the power
that English speaking countries hold in the world. As a result, the spread
of English has been examined as a form of imperialism and hegemony (e.g.,
Phillipson 1992; Tollefson 1991). While recognizing

the power of English globally, and the impact that English has upon
people’s lives locally, we also seek to examine the effects, movements, and
actions that result from these transcultural flows, while also aknowledging
individual and collective agency that is possible through English language
education. We seek to examine how English is appropriated and reshaped
through language and culture exchanges inside and outside of the
traditional concepts of the

classroom. Inside the classroom transcultural flows have the potential to
result in take-up, exchange, and appropriation of language and cultural
practices that can mean transcultural realities in terms of hybrid
pedagogical and curricular exchanges and pursuits for teachers and students
as English is implemented in the midst of dominant language and culture
communities. Transcultural realities in the classroom can can be
pedagogical and curricular culminations where teachers and students "meet
in the middle" and experience an English education that impacts society.

On these terms, English learning and teaching has the potential to go
beyond the classroom and affect the multicultural realities of societies.
For instance, Asian societies often carry long histories and traditions
that influence beliefs about identities which may be changing in our
globalizing world. Understanding transcultural flows may also mean
understanding what is happening outside of the classroom as transcultural
exchanges lead to friendships and professional relationships, as companies
embrace English and attempt to reach a global audience, as English is an
access point for global interaction in cyberspace, and as the global
politics of membership, recognition, and identity often confront the
implications of English as a global language. On these terms, for both
English teachers and students, the impacts of transcultural connections
reach far beyond the teaching and learning experience. In short, English
connects people around the globe with the country or people even after they
have finished their lessons or teachers have left the country.

To examine the transcultural flows that result from English learning and
teaching, we need to ask some questions: What becomes of English when it is
loosed from local, national, and regional spaces and re-realized through
imagination? What are new forms of global consciousness and cultural
competency? How is English as transcultural flows being rediscovered and
reinvented in countries where traditions dictate normative culture and
change is resisted? How have English as transcultural flows affected
concepts of authenticity, tradition, and the notion of ‘pure’ identities?
To what degree are we being ‘globalized’? How are teachers and students
taking-up and appropriating English inside and outside classrooms? How has
learning English affected social, political and business relationships?
What are the relations between language and cultural exchanges?

To explore these questions, we are seeking chapter contributors to our
edited book, Transcultural Flows in English Language Education. For those
working on language learning in other contexts, we would also consider
submissions from your research. If you are interested in submitting a
chapter to this book, please submit a 500-word abstract that includes your
research, methods, and theoretical framework and summarizes your main
findings by March 1, 2015 to:

[5] Conference Abstracts - “Pilgrimage to the Heart of the Sacred -The
Sacred Journeys: Pilgrimage and Beyond Project: 2nd Global Meeting”
Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom - Deadline: March 13, 2015

Pilgrimage to the Heart of the Sacred

The Sacred Journeys: Pilgrimage and Beyond Project: 2nd Global Meeting

Friday 3rd July – Sunday 5th July 2015

Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

------------------------------

Call for Presentations:

Pilgrimage is a cross-cultural phenomenon that facilitates interaction
between and among diverse peoples from countless cultures and walks of
life. In the 2nd Global Conference, we will continue to explore the many
personal, interpersonal, intercultural, and international dimensions of
this profound phenomenon.

Among the key issues that emerged from Sacred Journeys I: Pilgrimage and
Beyond, were:

1. Definition of Pilgrimage:

‘Travel for transformation’ embraces the sacred journey as a potential
turning point in one’s life. Witness the avalanche of books by pilgrims who
have experienced the Camino, or those who have been influenced by the
transformation of others, like Malcolm X.  After his experience of the Hajj
pilgrimage, the activist was stirred to reevaluate his lifelong journey in
search of justice and reconciliation as well as his thinking regarding race
relations in the United States. Questions arise as to how and when a
journey becomes ‘sacred’ and how and when pilgrimage devolves into a mere
tourist endeavor.  Does tourism merely observe the authentic in others,
whereas pilgrimage seeks it for oneself?

2. Reinforcing the Vision of the Ultimate Unity of Humanity:

Pilgrimage scholar George Greenia’s insight that ‘pilgrimages generate the
least violent mass public gatherings [that] humankind has designed for
itself’ inspires the question: In what ways can the concept of the sacred
journey lend itself to envisioning a world united in difference?  We can
reflect, for instance, on the sacred journey to Adam’s Peak in Sri Lanka, a
site of interfaith and intercultural pilgrimage interpreted differently by
various pilgrim sects. For Buddhists, a sacred footprint in a rock
formation is said to belong to Buddha, whereas for Hindus, it is deemed to
be Shiva’s footprint, and for Muslims and Christians, it is thought to be
Adam’s. This pilgrimage site provides a powerful example of interfaith
cooperation.

3. Pilgrimage and Globalization:

The global playing field is leveling and technology is impacting pilgrims
in innumerable ways. In Mecca, for instance, telephone ‘apps’ assist Hajj
pilgrims searching for animals for sacrifice; in Lourdes, another ‘app’
provides details on miraculous healings, proudly declaring, ‘A miracle
could happen’ during the pilgrim’s visit. Infrastructural and support
services are also improving, and jour­neys once thought to be too
diffi­cult or challenging, such as that to Amarnath in India, are now
within reach of vast numbers of pilgrims. Will modern conveniences alter
traditional experiences, create entirely new ones, or both?

4. Modernization and the Global Trend Towards the Dissolution of
Traditional Ways:

Pilgrims cling to what they ascertain as familiar and reaffirm what they
believe to be ‘true’ at local levels. There may be a growing awareness that
‘the world is one’ and that we must work together to deal with our common
ecological, political, and security problems, but in the interest of
cultural survival, primordial standard-bearers like nation, tribe, and race
have been reified and re-energized; for instance, journeys of all
persuasions are now being undertaken along ancient pathways that have been
rediscovered and/or redeveloped. What kinds of trends along these lines
might we forecast for the future?

5. Secular Pilgrimage:

Major secular pilgrimage sites, such as to Abbey Road in London, or to
Elvis Presley’s home ‘Graceland’, or Jim Morrison’s (The Doors) grave site
in Paris, attract astonishing numbers of ‘pilgrims’. What are the
similarities and differences between sacred and secular pilgrimages? More
and more we are living in a ‘global village’ and the ‘pilgrimage in my
front room’ phenomenon is facilitated by video and satellite links. These
changes raise the question: must pilgrimages, whether sacred or secular,
always involve a physical journey ‘in league’ with others? Virtual or
alternative pilgrimages are important topics for consideration; so, too,
are related online experiences that recreate the pilgrimage or tourism
experience in a virtual world.

In light of our broad exploration, and these new directions, we would also
welcome proposals that might take into consideration the following:

* New definitions of sacred and secular pilgrimage, and the question of
authenticity.

* How historical perspectives on the meaning(s) of pilgrimages and motives
for travel are changing over time.

* The metaphor of ‘the journey’ as explored by writers, artists, performers
and singers, including humanists, agnostics, atheists and musicians.

* The notion of journeying toward ‘salvation’.

* Pilgrimage and ‘miracles’ and the related topic of thanksgiving.

* The post-pilgrimage experience (which can be non-religious and/or
secular, involving, for instance devotional exercises, meditation
practices, mental journeys, etc).

* ‘Dark’ pilgrimages to sites of remembrance and commemoration (i.e., the
Hiroshima Peace Museum, the Irish National Famine Museum, Rwanda genocide
memorials, etc.).

The Steering Group welcomes the submission of proposals for short
workshops, practitioner-based activities, performances, and pre-formed
panels. We particularly welcome short film screenings; photographic essays;
installations; interactive talks and alternative presentation styles that
encourage engagement.

[6] Conference Papers - Everyday Life in the 21st Century - Florence, Italy
- Deadline: March 15, 2015

CfP: Everyday Life in the 21st Century City, Florence, Italy, July 17-19,
2015

Metropolitan regions confront unprecedented economic, social, and political
challenges, the meanings of everyday life are put into question because of
the changing structure and increasing interdependence of urban economies.
North American cities register the largest number of foreign-born persons
in their history, while cities in Europe confront issues of social
integration with emergent minority populations in the suburbs and inner
city neighborhoods. The rapidly growing urban regions in China and India
confront the continuing pressures of rural to urban migration that will
produce the largest urban populations in human history. While the focus on
the global city often emphasizes similarities in the development of
metropolitan regions and neo-liberal regimes, we are interested in better
understanding how individuals and groups respond to and create new
structures of everyday life within the ever changing urban environment.

The presentations will be grouped into the following subject areas:

Right to the city: Urban social movements; privatization and surveillance
of urban space; gentrification, regeneration, and contested urban spaces.

Neoliberal urban policy and its discontents: planning implications and
urban conflicts: neo-liberal urban policy; immigration and national policy;
participation and conflict in the 21st Century City; housing and housing
needs.

The well-being challenge: Well-being in the 21st century city, policies and
practices for urban well-being and quality of life; variables and
indicators to measure well-being in the city; sustainable development in
the emerging urban world.

Suburbanization and the post-urban city: Suburban growth and urban sprawl;
social exclusion in the inner suburbs; multicultural cities and ethnic
spaces.

Urban nightlife: Emergent nightlife in the city; zones of entertainment and
zones of pleasure; leisure and consumption.

Please send a one-page abstract of your paper or presentation by March 15,
2015 to the address listed below. Participants will be contacted with
further information concerning the conference before March 31st, 2015.

policymaking in southern Sudan, this new brand of experientially-based
educational initiatives are raising critical questions for comparative
educationalists. Often broadly organized under the rubrics of
"humanitarianism" and/or "development," these programs tackle a wide array
of social issues. Subsequently, their educational content varies. Yet, amid
this diversity there is common ground; as socio-technical assemblages,
these programs engender modes of social engagement that crisscross both
formal and informal educational lines.

Research on infrastructure, though not new to academia, is being conducted
with renewed interest across the humanities and social sciences. No longer
just concerned with the circulation of information, people, and resources,
contemporary researchers are turning an analytical eye to the poetic and
residual effects of infrastructures. As Brian Larkin writes,
"infrastructures also exist as forms separate from their purely technical
functioning, and they need to be analyzed as concrete semiotic and
aesthetic vehicles oriented to addressees" (2013: 329). Consequently,
scholars have begun calling attention to the emergent ontological role that
infrastructures play, both locally and globally (cf. Lockrem and Lugo
2012). Surprisingly, though, very little research has been carried out on
the educative work that goes into the mediation, production, and
maintenance of infrastructural projects, despite an increasing number of
widely publicized initiatives that have been recently launched.

In this panel we track the social work of educational infrastructures by
bracketing person-centered notions of learning to widen our attention to
the educative processes that are generated by and through the residual
effects, modes of interaction, and conceptual spaces of infrastructures
(Star 1999). This requires recognizing, on the one hand, the highly
mediated nature of these enterprises, which are often produced using
technology to cultivate communities of practice through the creation of
virtual classrooms, studios, and forums (cf. Lampland and Star 2009). But
beyond these technical aspects, is an array of actors with deeply seated
social concerns. In the context of this panel, these concerns center on
razing the scales of difference that have traditionally divided experts in
elite institutions in the Global North from marginalized communities in the
Global South—forms of engagement that raise important questions about the
production of knowledge in and through infrastructural practices.

In this way this panel brings together research being conducted by
educational specialists working in the fields of development, design
anthropology, gender and peace studies to ask: In what ways might a
workshop, social media campaign, or mobile design studio be taken as a
staging ground for reorganizing how experts address pressing social
problems? How are communities of practice being reimagined and employed in
these contexts and what are the socializing effects that these practices
have on experts and the communities they are collaborating with? These and
other questions will inform our discussion on how the uneven distribution
of educational resources figures into emergent infrastructural projects in
the field of education and beyond.

5. EVENTS || ÉVÉNEMENTS & SUMMER COURSES  || COURS D'ÉTÉ

[1] NCSU Ethnographic Field School - Lake Atitlán, Guatemala - Summer 2015
-  Deadline: February 15, 2015

Learn how to design, conduct, investigate and write up your own independent
project while living with a local family on the shores of Lake Atitlán,
Guatemala. Throughout the program, you will learn about the Maya while
developing skills in project design and fieldwork as you carry out your own
research project.

Whether you are an undergraduate, a graduate student, just finished
college, learning how to collect data and talk to people is beneficial not
only for those in anthropology, but also for those in many other majors,
including sociology, international studies, public health, history,
education, textiles, natural resource management, business and management,
sociolinguistics, political science, psychology, design and civil
engineering.  Anyone interested is encouraged to apply, especially students
interested in topics such as development, environment, globalization,
social justice, tourism, conservation, Fair Trade, textile design and
entrepreneurship, language, development, poverty and health.

The internationally known NCSU Guatemala EFS is unique in that it offers
students an opportunity to see what research is really like, to do your own
project, to manage your own time and work according to the needs of your
topic and also to challenge yourself by living in a Maya community with a
local family. (All of them have been working with us for years and they
know what we expect and enjoy having students in their homes.) In most
cases students live in a small community by themselves, although other
students are in nearby communities. We keep the seminars to a minimum so
students can have enough time to work on their projects; we want students
to learn by doing, with intensive and in-depth hands-on learning. Our 22
years of experience, confirmed by the testimonials of previous
participants, has shown us that the learning-by-immersion process really
works to develop successful researchers and program designers. Of course,
the setting, around Lake Atitlán, is incomparable, never a dull moment, and
the Maya people are gracious and welcoming.

Not sure how your interests may fit into the topics listed?  Contact the
program Directors, Dr. Tim Wallace ([log in to unmask]<mailto:
[log in to unmask]>) and Dr. Chantell LaPan ([log in to unmask]<mailto:
[log in to unmask]>), to discuss potential opportunities for your areas of
interest. Each student may choose any topic for his or her independent
research project.  Service learning opportunities are also possible. This
program is open to students from any course of study and university. The
$3650 fee includes all expenses (except airfare- about $550), including
room and board, insurance, in-country travel and tuition for 6 credit hours.

Apply through the NCSU Study Abroad Office<

[3] Workshop - Christianity, Anthropology and the Problem of Difference-

In her seminal introduction to The Anthropology of Christianity Fenella
Cannell (2006) asks ‘What difference does Christianity make?’ The motif of
Christianity as radical disjuncture is prominent in the conversion
narratives of certain kinds of Christianity, as well as in the
long-standing Christian emphasis on the life, death and resurrection of
Jesus as decisively transformative. But Cannell warns against assuming that
Christianity always necessarily results in radical change. The differences
Christianity makes might not always take expected forms or unfold along
anticipated routes. The problem of Christian difference is a compelling
line of inquiry, and not just in regard to its effects on an imagined
‘religious’ sphere, but right across diverse social institutions and
cultural practices.

This symposium interrogates the problem of Christian difference in Asia by
reflecting anthropologically on a range of interconnected themes. Attention
will be given to the impact of diverse missionary histories, denominational
affiliations, and theological schools. Papers will probe into the extent to
which particular forms of Christianity matter, for example, for conceptions
of gender, authority, ethics, and the state. This broad framing also
invites inquiry into questions of what remains more or less immune from
Christian influence as well as to the results of processes of negotiation
in the midst of mission encounters.

While Christianity clearly spread across Asia along colonial routes, and
while this clearly informs the cultural work carried out by Christianity,
it is also necessary to pay attention to other Christianities that are
awkwardly related to imperial processes. Moreover, recent movements of
Christianity are relocating Asian practices in new political and cultural
contexts. Contemporary vernacular forms of Christianity have ongoing
trajectories that continue to refashion the moment of Christian encounter
through migratory movements and inter-Asian missionary initiatives. The
symposium therefore also seeks to draw attention to the multidirectional
iterations of the process of Christian arrival and encounter.

Shifting the emphasis from Christianity to anthropology, the symposium also
asks how the study of Christianity in its local manifestations can provide
reflective insights for the discipline of anthropology: What methodological
tenets and theoretical approaches are questioned and reformulated? What
difference does the study of Christianity make for anthropological
research? We thereby examine the ways in which research on Christianity
helps anthropologists reexamine their own disciplinary and intellectual
histories. Taking Christianity as a generative concept, this symposium
explores those instances when Christianity operates as a trigger for the
problematization of theoretical and methodological approaches in
anthropology.
