[1] Journal - Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education - Deadline: Ongoing

Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education invites research from a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives that emphasize the centrality of marginal voices and a

peripheral gaze, and which draw attention to the complex interrelations between political, economic, historical, and social contexts, as well as the ways in which these various contexts shape educational policies, practices, curricula, and outcomes.

The journal welcomes articles that ground theoretical reflections in specific empirical research and case studies of diverse locations and peoples as yet underrepresented within scholarly research and literature, as well as action or participatory research studies of exemplary or “best” practices.

Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education: Studies of Migration, Integration, Equity, and Cultural Survival (DIME) a quarterly peer-reviewed journal focused on critical discourse and research in diaspora, indigenous, and minority education is dedicated to researching cultural sustainability in a world increasingly consolidating under national, transnational, and global organizations. It aims to draw attention to, and learn from, the many initiatives being conducted around the globe in support of diaspora, indigenous, and minority education, which might otherwise go unnoticed.

[2] Proposal - Annual Meeting - American Academy of Religion's Anthropology of Religion Group - Deadline: March 2, 2015

I'm writing to encourage you to submit paper and panel proposals to the American Academy of Religion's Anthropology of Religion Group for the next Annual Meeting (Nov. 21-24, Atlanta). The deadline is *March 2*, submitted to the PAPERS system:
https://papers.aarweb.org/content/welcome.
Laurel Zwissler, co-chair, Anthropology of Religion Group

Call for Papers:

We invite proposals from the full range of anthropological theories and methods that explore diverse traditions, regions, and periods.

We welcome alternative and creative format sessions that involve presentations other than read manuscripts (including film, multimedia, and performance) and those that offer more opportunity for dialogue and collaboration among presenters, respondents, and audiences.

We especially encourage individual and panel submissions that address:

1) the spirit of this year's theme, Valuing Religion, such as anthropologies of value and/or the value of anthropology in the study of religion;\

2) flirtations and fetishes in the field and the impact of these upon the ethnographer and the ethnographer's work;

3) the value of alternative scholarly forms, not only beyond dense academic prose, but also beyond writing (what emerging and/or underused forms of ethnography can be brought to bear on the evocation, representation, and interpretation of local, moral, interpersonal worlds?)
This could include, but is not limited to, the value of film and visual methods in the anthropological study of religion. Preferably, presentations will incorporate demonstrations of alternative methods. We are interested especially in proposals on film in the study of ritual, especially with regard to the use of film in fieldwork or ethnographic filmm aking, for a potential joint session with the Ritual Studies Group.;

4) sensuous scholarship - à la Paul Stoller, David Howes, and others - in which the scholar-researcher's body and bodily experiences are incorporated into the work, moving beyond an instrumental use of the body as the means by which the scholar-researcher's brain is transported to and from the field;

5) ethnographies of internet, virtual, and digital communities;

6) personhood and conceptions of the self in theology and anthropology;

7) religious virtuosity, innovation, experimentation, and creativity.

The Anthropology of Religion Group will also quint-sponsor a panel on Birgit Meyer's forthcoming book, Sensational Movies: Video, Vision and Christianity in Ghana (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2015), in collaboration with the World Christianity Group; the Religion, Film, and Visual Culture Group; the African Religions Group; and the Religion,
Colonialism and Postcolonialism Group. Selection of panelists will be pre-arranged so that they may read Meyer's book as provided by the press in advance of the meetings in order to comment on it. Prof. Meyer will summarize her book's argument, and at least one panelist will comment on the methodological aspects of Prof. Meyer's book. We are soliciting no papers for this session but encouraging our members and other interested
parties to attend for what will be a truly multi-disciplinary discussion focused on religion and Africa.

[3] Journal - Potentia - Centre for International Policy Studies, University of Ottawa - Deadline: March 2, 2015

The Society for the Anthropology of North America (SANA) announces requests for submission for the 2015 Eleanor “Happy” Leacock Travel Grant for independent scholars and contingent or community college faculty. Two awards ranging from $400-600 will be awarded for travel to the 2015 SANA Conference at John Jay College, CUNY, NYC, April 16-18.

This grant honors Eleanor “Happy” Leacock’s outstanding career as an independent scholar and her labor as a semi-employed faculty member prior to securing full-time employment at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and later the City University of New York (City College at the time) where she became Chair of the Department of Anthropology.

Additional guidelines:
• Applicants must work as independent scholars, as faculty at community colleges, and/or in a contingent capacity for a college or university. This includes part-time instructors, adjunct instructors, and full-time, non-tenure-track instructors.
• This travel grant is awarded on a competitive basis and reviewed by a committee comprised of members from the SANA board. SANA is an intentionally inclusive community of anthropologists and encourages everyone eligible to apply for this grant regardless of society’s labels or anthropology’s disciplinary boundaries. However, applicants must be SANA members intending to present at the 2015 SANA Conference. Please see http://sananet.org/about.php for instructions on how to join SANA.
• Since the St. Clair Drake Student Travel Grant funds currently enrolled graduate students, they are ineligible for this grant, even if they meet the other qualifications.
• Travel grants will not be awarded to any individual more than once.
• The exact grant amount will be determined by the geographic location, i.e distance from the conference, of the winner’s residence. The amount will be no less than $400 and no more than $600.
• In the future, priority will be given to applicants who have unsuccessfully applied previously.
• To apply, submit your paper abstract (even if acceptance is still pending), university affiliation, and contact information to [log in to unmask] by March 8, 2015. Also include a brief summary – no more than 100 words – illustrating that your current employment is in accordance with the award’s guidelines.

[8] Post-doctoral Research Fellowship - Asia Research Institute – National University of Singapore - Deadline: April 1, 2015

The Asia Research Institute (ARI) was established as a university-level institute in July 2001 as one of the strategic initiatives of the National University of Singapore (NUS). The mission of the Institute is to provide a world-class focus and resource for research on the Asian region, located at one of its communication hubs. ARI engages the humanities and social sciences broadly defined, and especially interdisciplinary frontiers between and beyond disciplines. Through frequent provision of short-term research appointments it seeks to be a place of encounters between the region and the world. Within NUS it works particularly with the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences, Business, Law and Design, to support conferences, lectures, and graduate study at the highest level. Home to a strong team of full-time researchers, the ARI provides support for doctoral and postdoctoral research, conferences, workshops, seminars, and study groups. It welcomes visiting scholars who wish to conduct their research on Asia in Singapore, and encourages collaboration with other Asian research institutes worldwide.

ARI’s Religion and Globalization cluster is dedicated to exploring global reconfigurations of religion and its diverse manifestations in Asian contexts. Our work examines dynamics of secularization and religion the modern period, as well as related issues of authority and tradition in contemporary religious discourse and practice. The Cluster’s central focus over the coming years is on Religion and Development in Asia. This research project seeks to explore how religious actors, discourses, and practices intersect with development efforts, and how these engagements result in changes in our understandings of both “religion” and “development”. This work aims to stimulate a re-thinking of long held assumptions about the apparent binary opposition between “religion” and “development.” A prominent feature of our work in this area is the cultivation of sustained engagement between practitioners and academics, with an eye to producing analysis that is relevant both to theory and to practice.

The Cluster now welcomes applications for post-doctoral research fellows to join a new project on “Religion and NGOs in Asia,” funded by a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation. The goal of this project is to explore the negotiations and engagement of religious NGOs in Asia with policy and regulatory frameworks at multiple levels – sub-national, national, and trans-national. This work will explore four policy dimensions: 1) policies of states towards religious NGOs, 2) policies of development organizations (donors, UN agencies, state agencies) in engaging with religious NGOs, 3) policies and tactics of religious NGOs in responding to states and trans-national actors; and 4) internal policies and practices of religious NGOs. We are seeking applications from outstanding early career researchers to work full time on this project. Scholars from across the social sciences with a strong background in the study of religion and/or NGOs in the context of Asia are invited to apply.

Successful applicants will be based at the Asia Research Institute in Singapore. They will work closely with the existing team of researchers while also carrying out their own independent research on matters of direct relevance to the wider project. They will be engaged in full-time research tasks, including undertaking fieldwork in East and/or Southeast Asia, conference organizing, publishing academic papers and other media resources, and project management. Candidates will also deliver research seminar(s) and participate in relevant international conferences.

For further enquiries about the Religion and NGOs in Asia research project or the post-doctoral fellowships please contact Michael Feener ([log in to unmask]) and Philip Fountain ([log in to unmask]).

Eligibility

1. In addition to overall assessment of the quality of proposed research, positions will be awarded on the basis of the relevance of their research to the research theme of Religion and NGOs in Asia.

2. Candidates must have fulfilled all requirements of securing a PhD from a reputable university.

3. If you are still a PhD candidate at the point of application, you may also apply provided that you are confirmed for graduation by your commencement date at ARI. An official letter from the Registrar Office of your university will be required to confirm the award of your PhD degree.

Belgrade, Serbia (June 1-28, 2015)

SCHOOL FOR ETHNOGRAPHIC SENSIBILITY
BELGRADE, JUNE 2015

Belgrade, Serbia will become your laboratory for developing ethnographic skills that attune you to the nonverbal, tacit underpinnings of every culture. Through a series of playful field exercises that rely on different sensory modalities and embodied experience rather than on the knowledge of the local language, you will learn how to perceive hidden patterns in the flows of everyday life. We will show you how to break your usual perceptual habits and develop an acute receptivity to the different ways in which people greet each other and bargain, inhabit space and use objects, manipulate time, mix smells and tastes, queue for a bus, hail a taxi, or dance at a party. By adopting techniques used in artist training you will learn to notice things like timing, rhythms of movement, and other patterns in the everyday urban life that natives usually don’t. Finally, we will encourage you to explore alternative and artistic forms of representation through writing, film, performance, and other arts in order to share this findings with others.

Instructor & director: Marko Zivkovic, Department of Anthropology, University of Alberta

– Anthropologists and other social scientists who want to develop their ethnographic sensibility with the particular focus on non-verbal, embodied patterns of everyday life.
– Practicing artists who want to explore the convergences between ethnographic and artistic training in perception, experience foreign cultures through apprenticeship in local art practices, and practically experiment with research creation.
– Designers, architects, engineers, health-related professions, and others who are interested in engaging with their practice in a culturally sensitive way.

Eligibility and prerequisites
