[1] Abstract - Anthology - Authority, Agency and Islam - Deadline: March 22, 2015
Call for Papers for an edited volume on: Authority, Agency and Islam
Introduction
The relationship between Muslims and the world is in crisis-mode, and the effects are felt in many ways and in many different instances. One of the themes that often succumbs to ideological co-optation is the issue of authority in Islam and for Muslims. What role is there for Muslims within a minority context both as agents in charge of their own destiny, or as demanders of social justice, and recognition and representation in time, place, and public space? Is there space for and actions of solidarity transcending boundaries, either geographic or socio-cultural? To what extent can Muslims engage with non-Muslims and state authorities, whether as minorities in non-Muslim territories or in countries with a Muslim majority? Are there limits for Muslims in its ability to practice their faith in a secular state? What texts are to be considered authoritative when approaching these questions? And is there one locus or multiple loci for legitimate interpretive authority? Although the focus of the public discourse remains on the headlines, this book aims to offer a much deeper insight into examining the relationship between authority and agency for Muslims and Islam today.
Objective of the Book
The overall mission is for this book to be one of the leading publications within the area of contemporary Islamic and Muslim studies. We envision this book to be a key reference at a number of levels, across a wide variety of fields both within and outside of academia. The main objective is to bring together academic minds from a variety of fields all connected by an interest in understanding the role of authority and the dynamics of agency in contemporary Islam as lived by Muslims today.
Target Audience
Book will explore trends in a number of fields and seeks to bridge the gap across multiple disciplines as well as the gap between professional and academic research on Islam and Muslims. Such a unique compilation of research from a wide variety of fields will educate researchers across disciplines and facilitate future cross-pollination in this area. In addition this publication will appeal to a broad audience from non-academic areas such as: journalism, education, government, social work, health and medicine, and law. This book can potentially be used as a teaching aid in a number of conceivable settings in the area of Religious, Islamic, and Muslim studies.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
Paper proposals to be included may engage the above theme from any perspective appropriate for this cross-disciplinary book. A list of suggested topics is the following:
• Religious vs. State authority
• Effects of cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism
• Institution-building and citizenship
• Geopolitics, power, and economic interests
• Race and gender
• Authority in a historical perspective (particular interest may go out to the effects that can be felt in the post-Ottoman, nationalist and post-colonial setting).
• Health and behavioural change through social changes felt by Muslims
• Islam and business (e.g. Islam and financial authority, commodification of Muslims, effects of marketing, branding, human resource training and motivation, sales, crowdsourcing and product development)
• Environmental issues
• Islam and Muslims in the news and as journalists, authority of public perception and reproducible images
• Cross-cultural issues
• Privacy, risk, ethics, and legal issues facing Islam and Muslims domestically or globally
The above list is meant to be illustrative, not exhaustive. Individual papers will be combined to form thematic but multi-layered approach to the relationship between Authority, Agency and Islam and/or Muslims.
Submission Procedure
The editors invite papers from diverse disciplines interested in expanding the body of knowledge in this intriguing area to submit chapters for publication consideration. Individuals interested in submitting chapters should submit a 300-word abstract in a Microsoft Word or pdf document, with a short bio, to either [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] by March 22nd, 2015.
Notification of Abstract acceptance will be March 30th, 2015. Following that a letter of interest, including your name, affiliation, and chapter proposal should be sent electronically by April 19th, 2015. Proposals (2-3 pages) should provide a descriptive outline and clearly explain the purpose and contribution of the chapter. Definitive acceptance notifications will be sent by April 27th, 2015. We also invite advanced graduate students and recent PhDs to submit proposals that address one or more of the themes above. Upon acceptance, authors will have until August 31st, 2015 to prepare a chapter of approximately 6,000 and 10,000 words, including notes and references.
Each chapter will be subject to a peer review process and must not have been published, accepted for publication, or presently under consideration for publication elsewhere. Guidelines for preparing the final chapter will be sent upon acceptance notification.
Note: No late abstracts will be accepted. The final papers are due August 31st, 2015.

[2] AAA Panel - Culture, Power, Degrowth - Deadline: March 25, 2015
*Culture, Power,
Degrowth. *Call for papers for a proposed invited session
at the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association in
Denver, November 18-22, 2015.
Send proposals to co-organizers: Susan Paulson [log in to unmask]

March 25th.
A recent explosion of thought and experimentation seeking paths toward new kinds
of societies has launched the idea of degrowth into global politics and media.
The provocative term has instigated debate within green parties and in national
elections, been activated in anti-globalization and occupy movements, embraced
by Via Campesina and the People’s Summit on Climate Change, and exercised in a
wide spectrum of localized movements. Following decades of thought and writing
centered mainly in Europe, the concept has recently erupted in English-language
scholarship, headlining over 100 articles and numerous books, such as
*Degrowth: A Vocabulary for a New Era**, *edited by Giacomo D'Alisa, Federico
Demaria and Giorgos Kallis (Routledge, 2014).Yet, curiously, a search for the
word “degrowth” in programs for the last six AAA Annual Meetings found 0
matches. At the 2015 AAA meetings we propose to instigate an anthropological
conversation with the provisional title *Culture, Power, Degrowth. *The panel
will bring together critiques of and contributions to efforts to radically
rethink predominant socio-ecological systems as well as diverse social
movements striving to build new ways of producing and reproducing human
communities. With hopes of spurring synergies among different types and fields
of anthropological work, we welcome papers on a wide array of ideas, including
the following:
- Archaeological, ethnohistorical or ethnographic evidence of
cultural
time-spaces not dominated by growth
- Ethnography of slackers, drop-outs, downsizers,
back-to-the-landers
- Alternative agrifood systems: agroecology, slow food, local
food,
vegetarianism
- Measures of happiness and meanings of lifestyle: Gross National
Happiness, Buen Vivir, tiny houses
- Evolving commons (social, cultural, intellectual, material):
urban
commons, digital commons, indigenous territories, extractive
reserves,
scientific commons.
- The production of human bodies in regimes of expanding
production and
consumption
- Rethinking health and wellness, including complementary and
alternative medicine
- Intentional communities recent and longstanding across cultures
- Spiritual and ethical movements that transcend “the spirit of
capitalism”
- Economics of growth/degrowth: steady state economics,
“sustainable
development,” sharing, co-operatives, new economies, new
currencies
- Ecologies of growth/degrowth: conservation, sustainable agriculture,
alternative fuels, urban gardens
- Political and social movements calling for degrowth
*Material* degrowth
is easy to grasp; it’s simply a reduction in the quantity of matter and energy
that is transformed each day in a societal metabolism (see work by
anthropologists Alf Hornborg and Simron Singh). The *meaningful* dimension of
degrowth requires more creative thinking; it calls for decolonizing the social
imaginary from cultural values and visions surrounding the pursuit of endless
expansion of production and consumption (see anthropological thought by Serge
Latouche, Arturo Escobar, Gilbert Rist, and anti-utilitarians from Marcel Mauss
to Alain Caillé). *Power* is what makes the practical implementation of
degrowth so daunting (and for many, unimaginable); currently this project
enjoys little formal political support, and notably less in the United States
than elsewhere. At the same time, multiple dimensions of power operating around
unprecedented inequalities in wealth and privilege pose formidable barriers to
collaborative efforts toward change.
Sincerely looking
forward to your ideas and questions,

[3] AAA Panel - Producing Latin American and Caribbean Feminisms from the Margins - Deadline: March 30, 2015
*Panel Title:
Producing Latin American and Caribbean Feminisms from the
Margins*
Organizers:
Laura Nussbaum-Barberena, University of Illinois at Chicago
Rebecca Nelson, University of Connecticut
Discussant:
Irina Carlota Silber, City College of New York/CUNY
In the past two decades, ethnographies of social movements and resistance have
tracked a surge of NGOs amidst ?democratic openings? and neoliberal restructuring.
Women?s organizing activities, in particular, have shifted with these changing
forms of national and international governance, politics and law, as well as
the professionalization of social movements and international organizations.
More specifically, ethnographic accounts of organizing have demonstrated the
central role of such intermediaries in connecting people in the most marginal
communities to the resources, networks, skills and knowledge ? and the
geographic and socio-political spaces ? to intervene in civil society. At the
same time, they document the increasing professionalization of these roles as
well as its consequences: that the forms of this transmission can work to
depoliticize issues, limit leadership from the margins and ultimately further
marginalize a movement?s base.
We seek papers exploring the ways that feminist movements (broadly-defined),
focused on the gendered experiences of people within Latino/a, Latin American
and Caribbean communities, navigate this changing landscape of
"organizations" and "bases" -- and at the same time, the familiar
and the strange. They may consider the following questions:
? In what ways are (women)?s groups re-imagining, reconstituting or reproducing
common arrangements between organizations and base? How do spatialized
dimensions of interaction delimit the ability to reconstitute these relationships?
For example, what mechanisms have urbanized movements been using to connect to
women in rural areas?
? How do legal and political discourses of rights and citizenship structure the
possibilities of intervention into these models? What is the role of ?intermediaries/leaders?
and bases in this reworking? How do the structures, missions, histories, and
networks of particular organizations shape the ways they go about transmitting
their concepts of rights and feminisms to their bases?
? How does knowledge (residual knowledge) produced ?from below? during revolution,
resistance and other forms of local, national and transnational organizing,
inform these relationships? How have such movements inspired organizing that
expands structures of recognition along the lines of geography, race,
ethnicity, citizenship, sexuality, ability and gender?
? How can we understand emergent feminisms from the margins? How do women in
marginalized communities receive and influence ?transnational? feminist and
rights-based discourses? Where do alternative forms of analysis and knowledge
production take place? How do they resurrect or produce notions
of the political? How do they negotiate uneven access to civil society? What
theories and analytical frameworks (particularly from Latin America) can we
draw on to analyze these responses?
We have space for a few more papers for our proposed AAA Annual meeting panel
(Denver, CO, November 18-22, 2015). If interested, please send a 250 word
abstract to Laura Nussbaum-Barberena and Rebecca Nelson ( [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask])
by March 30. We will send our
acceptance decisions on April 3rd. Panelists will then need to register for the
AAA 2015 conference by April 15th.
[4] AAA Panel - Beyond the Closet: Global Queer Rites of Passage - Deadline: March 30, 2015
*Panel Title: Beyond
the Closet: Global Queer Rites of Passage*
The closet is perhaps the most salient metaphor within Euro-American LGBTQ communities.
"Coming out" is seen as the quintessential queer rite of passage and
members of the community size each other up as to which side of the closet they
are on, in or out. However useful, our overreliance on the closet metaphor has
ignored the fact that this construct is far from universal and that there are
other rites of passage within global queer communities.
Continuing with Tom
Boellstorff's notion of critical regionality as a direction for ongoing queer
studies, this panel seeks to explore diverse queer rites of passage globally as
well as to challenge the notion of a universal queer culture. One such
challenge, for example, is the effort among queer Mexicans to rebrand the
closet as the "American closet." In this linguistic turn, they
deftly reject the commonly adopted LGBTQ identity trajectory that demands (1)
deception, (2) self-awareness, and (3) eventual disclosure -- in that
order. Such challenges serve to reveal the diversity of experiences and
beliefs of the LGBTQ community on a global level.
We welcome proposals that analyze rites of passage in any queer community. Please
submit a proposal title, an abstract text up to 250 words, full name, and
affiliation to [log in to unmask] by
Monday, March 30.
[5] AAA Panel - Trolls and Hecklers: Disruptive Ways of Playing - Deadline: March 30, 2015
CALL FOR PAPERS for the American Anthropological Association annual meeting
Session Title: Trolls and Hecklers: Disruptive Ways of Playing
Session organized by S. Megan Heller, UCLA Anthropology
This session examines familiar social practices, such as teasing, heckling, and pranking, ways of playing that are often disruptive and ambiguous. Players engaging in such forms of sociality may intend to delight themselves and others with dark humor, whilst provoking outrage and disrupting ongoing social activities. New technologies and emerging cultural contexts provide new venues and possibilities for these edgy social behaviors, such as the practice of trolling and cyber-bullying. Further we will consider what these somewhat counter-intuitive forms of play may tell us about the nature of play in general.
Papers will focus on both negative and positive aspects of disruptive ways of playing and highlight ambiguities. Taking the perspective of people who enjoy this sort of play, jibes may be invitations for like-minded players to join in the game and develop joking relationships. Such humor may also be attempts to rebalance uneven social status, as well as satisfy personal needs for recognition, superiority, and amusement. In some contexts these behaviors may be considered antisocial, a type of aggression, while in others they may be considered highly social forms of humor. Panelists will explore means by which such players are acting in ways that are decidedly antisocial and selfish—potentially intending to hurt and bully others for their own amusement. Taking the perspective of people who feel victimized by this sort of play, other papers may investigate the forms of cultural politics and emotion regulation that may be involved in navigating unwanted, playful intrusions from dark players. In all cases, the goal of our panel is to unmask the playfulness behind these provocations and the provocateurs’ uncomfortable positions in social settings.
In their analysis, panelists may find Richard Schechner’s concept of “dark play” a useful way to examine playing as a mood, attitude, or force, a means of capturing participants—willingly or not—into the tormentor’s net (Schechner 1988). Dark play may involve confusion or concealment of the play frame, make-believe or childish behavior, physical risks, and assuming alternative selves. Endeavoring to understand the subjective experiences of participants, Thomas Malaby’s notion of play as a “disposition,” and S. Megan Heller’s notion of a “mood of play” may be more useful than the common understanding of play as a type of action (Heller 2013; Malaby 2009).
Papers may compare playing among non-human primates or other mammals. In some cases play fighting is certainly social, in other cases a solitary player may use a conspecific or other mammal as a toy. From a neurological perspective, Jaak Panksepp describes “PLAY” as a basic emotional process located deep in the mammalian brain, which is linked to the feeling of social joy in many species, including rats and primates (Panksepp and Biven 2012). Discussing how play seems to have evolved multiple times in different lineages of species, Sergio Pellis and Vivien Pellis identify “ambiguity” as a feature of play that permits animals to use it for manipulation and social assessment in adulthood (Pellis and Pellis 2009). Through comparison we may find that playing is not necessarily a cooperative, childish behavior, but a force to be navigated across the lifespan.

[7] AAA Panel - States of Precarity, States of Exception:
Transnational
Imaginaries of Risk - Deadline: April 1, 2015
*Panel Title: States
of Precarity, States of Exception: Transnational Imaginaries of Risk*
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, ?precarity? is defined as a state
of being ?not securely held or in position; dangerously likely to fall or
collapse;? as well as a state of ?dependence on chance or uncertainty.? The
panel organizers invite abstracts for papers that ethnographically examine how
precarity operates as a signifier, mode of accounting, or a narrativization
practice. In many contexts, precarity is a trope that is used in various
political mobilizations and discourses,
humanitarian initiatives, in order to gesture to that which is considered to be
on the verge or on the edge of being realized into a particular telos. Projects
that center on reinvention, restoration, rehabilitation, rehumanization, or
reunification of different kinds are often given weight, urgency, and
significance through emphasis on their precarity vis-a-vis other paradigms and
?realized? projects. Accompanying mobilizations of precarity is the idea of the
state of exception, in both Agamben?s usage and beyond (2005). In this panel,
we hope to create a conversation in which we trace the imaginative geographies
and transnational circulations through which epistemologies and ontologies of
precarity converge with states of exception. The overarching question of this
panel seeks to explore the moral valuations, depoliticizations, and modes of
narrativization that teleological projects impart, as well as how the risks
they project rely on ambiguity, hypotheticals, and endangered potentiality.
Please send all submissions to Baird Campbell ([log in to unmask])
and Helena
Zeweri ([log in to unmask])
by Wednesday, April 1st. Submissions should be no
more than 250 words and should include a title and keywords. All accepted
panelists will need to register for the AAA 2015 conference by or before April
15th.
[8] AAA Panel - Document-ing Power in an Age of Accountability - Deadline April 1, 2015
*Panel Title:
Document-ing Power in an Age of Accountability*
Organizer: Kathleen Inglis, PhD Candidate, Anthropology, Simon Fraser
University
Studies in institutional ethnography, science and technology, and literacy have
taught us that texts (including their material forms) play a central role in
the cultural and institutional deployment of governance. In a neoliberal world
increasingly preoccupied with accountability?is this policy working? Is this
procedure profitable? Is this program on-course? Are these people performing
well? How can this technique be more efficient??texts have become progressively
crucial to regulation. Their increasing use is also due to recent technological
developments which have made information-sharing about the progress of policies
and programs possible to a new degree (for instance, in the forms of computer
databases and software, and the internet). This means that ethnographic
research that recognizes the power of texts in organizing and naturalizing
policies and people?s activities is especially currently salient.
It is not simply the physical presence
of texts that (re)produces institutional discourses. Rather, it is the use of
texts to coordinate people and actions, increasingly premised on their
potential to represent results or factual data, which legitimizes definitions
of problems and solutions. This panel is interested in the ?textually mediated?
(Smith 2005) process of accountability and standardization. ?Texts? are inclusively
defined as ?hard? and ?soft?, qualitative and/or quantitative, forms,
information systems, records, spreadsheets, charts, websites, reports, etc.
Compelling research in science and technology studies has illustrated that the
functionality and generative power of standardized protocols?including of texts?depends
on it being porous (Hogle 1995, Timmermans and Berg 1997): on there being space
for discretion and adjustment in the use and completion of texts in practice.
In addition to wanting to understand possibilities for such rearticulation of
texts in the domain of accountability, we are also interested in the ways texts
operate in settings where flexibility is more of a privilege than essential
condition; in ?resource-poor settings?, for instance.
This panel calls for ethnographic
research that highlights the particular contexts and conditions through which
?surveillance? texts are followed, adjusted, or disregarded in practice as a
way to examine various forms and negotiations of power in the areas of health,
science, development and other fields of governance.
We seek papers that explore the following kinds of questions:
What role do texts play in the institutional concern for accountability and surveillance?
In coordinating the regulatory work of various people across time and space?
In framing and reifying categories, people, problems and risk?
In (re)producing the ways that these become acted upon?
How are texts used, experienced, performed, adjusted or deviated from in the
practice of assessing policies, projects, or techniques?
What does this reveal about the different ways power is exercised and negotiated
in various places?
What are the implications of the ways that texts are entangled within accountability
procedures and priorities?

[9] AAA Panel - Mediterranean Encounters: The Incommensurability of Difference - Deadline: April 1, 2015
*Panel Title:
Mediterranean Encounters: The Incommensurability of Difference*
Organizers:
Netta Van Vliet, College of the Atlantic
Carla Hung, Duke University
This panel focuses on encounters with difference across the Mediterranean that
consider the irreducible alterity and singularity of the other. The Mediterranean,
that which is between lands, has long been narrated as a space of cultural and
commercial exchange. At a time when the prevailing response to encounters with
the foreign and the strange is through political and discursive assimilation,
we ask what alternatives there might be to tolerance and inclusion. How can we
understand encounters across the Mediterranean without recourse to a logic of
equivalence? Anthropology?s interest in the study of difference has populated
the discipline with a variety of tools, both conceptual and methodological,
which can engage with what Jim Siegel (2008) has called "the objects and
objections of
ethnography." Circulating through feminist theory, postcolonial studies, and
literary theory but beginning with and returning to anthropology's unique
method of participant-observation, this panel tries to understand difference
without folding it into an ontology of the self-same or "making the
familiar strange and the strange familiar.? In so doing, it provides an opportunity
to challenge anthropology's foundational concepts of culture, identity, and
community. The panel examines the implications of such an approach for
questions of politics, human rights, the law, and the tension between the
universal, the particular, and the singular. What can be learned when
ethnographic experience is understood in terms of products of representation
rather than as evidence?
The Mediterranean has historically been
a site of linguistic, political, economic and material encounters between East
and West, North and South, Europe and its others, between Arab and Jew,
European and African, refuge and asylum seeker. Taking the Mediterranean
as a site through which to conduct close readings of the geopolitical and
temporal movements across land and water, East and West, North and South,
Europe and its others that have taken place on both sides of its shores, the
panelists strive to think about the strange without making it familiar.
This panel is interested in addressing the questions posed by incommensurable
difference through a diverse set of ethnographic examples, including
engagements with movement between madness and reason, religious and secular,
life and death, diaspora and at home, and human and inhuman.
Please send a 250 word abstract and a title for your proposed contribution to

[10] AAA Panel - An Anthropology of International Relations - Deadline: April 1, 2015
*Panel Title: An
Anthropology of International Relations*
Organizers:
Dr. Monica DeHart, Professor, University of Puget Sound
Dr. Jennifer Hubbert, Associate Professor, Lewis & Clark College
Discussant:
Dr. William Beeman, Professor, University of Minnesota
The 1988 AAA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia featured a packed panel titled ?Is
an Anthropology of International Relations Possible?? that spoke to the topical
overlap and conceptual divide between the two academic disciplines most
concerned with the global: cultural anthropology and international relations.
One commentator noted that while international relations is frequented invoked
on the front page of major media publications as addressing the
?international,? anthropology is more often buried inside, under the domain of
the ?cross cultural.? Nearly two decades later, this problem
remains. A new generation of international relations scholars is advocating
for the incorporation of a more anthropological viewpoint on international
relations as a way to move beyond its own state-centric perspective.
However while anthropology has long engaged with ?politics? through studies of
power relations, governance, and the articulations and effects of
globalization, it has been slower to turn its critical theoretical lens on the
relations between nation-states, international policy, and the very
constitution of the global itself. This panel attends to the question of
inter-disciplinarity and its stakes for understanding the shifting
international landscape. In particular, the papers explore how to make
the global strange by rendering the nation-state and its policy articulations
familiar through anthropological study. What methodological and
theoretical insights can an anthropological analysis offer to efforts to
reconceptualize: (a) the nature of the global; (b) the new world order defined
by an emergent Global South; and (c) relations among nations?

[11] AAA Panel - New Foods, New Worlds: How Shifting Tastes Reflect Social Change - Deadline: April 1, 2015
CFP: AAA 2015 (Denver, CO -- Nov. 18-22)
New Foods, New
Worlds: How Shifting Tastes Reflect Social Change
Anthropologists have long noted that people’s tastes in food are intimate and deep-rooted.
Local cuisines represent an accumulation of traditions, as people invest
certain foods with ritual significance or nostalgia for home. However, transformations
in agricultural production, the global circulation of commodities, and the
uptake of the Western diet are rapidly reshaping the ways that people around
the world eat. Once familiar foods have been replaced — in fields, in stores,
on plates — by new items. This session examines the adoption of new foods and
food practices, and how people grapple with the implications of these changes.
What is at stake for our informants as they embrace, resist, or otherwise
appropriate these new foods?
To address this question, this panel takes the theme of the conference, “familiar/strange,” as
a starting point. It asks how our informants invoke their own categories
about which foods are familiar and which are strange to explain
cultural changes, such as shifting gender dynamics, articulations of
community belonging, and conceptions of wellness. How does access to new foods
vary according to gender, class, and age, thus reinforcing or subverting
existing hierarchies? How do new crops or dishes represent hopes for the future
or a lament for the past? Under what circumstances do new foods entice, or
provoke disgust? Attending to our informants' conceptualization of the
"familiar/strange” framework privileges their situated worldview over
anthropologists’ subjective judgments. At the same time, it emphasizes the ways
that engagement with our informants’ categories is central to the production of
anthropological knowledge.

[12] AAA Panel - Careerism in the Guise of Altruism, or Something More Enduring? Critical Reflections on Teaching Anthropology through Community Service Learning - Deadline: April 1, 2015
Call for Papers - Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association (AAA), November 18-22 2015. Denver, Colorado, USA.
Careerism in the Guise of Altruism, or Something More Enduring? Critical Reflections on Teaching Anthropology through Community Service Learning
From innovative homeless shelters on campus, run by consecutive cohorts of students for more than 27 years (Seider, 2010), to small one-off projects completed just in time to gain end of semester credits, the term Community Service Learning (CSL) (also Project-Based Learning, or Service Learning) covers an impressively wide array of projects. Usually developed in partnership with local community or activist groups, CSL projects offer students and faculty unique opportunities to make the familiar strange by road-testing anthropological skills out in 'the community' that exists near to, or is intimately connected with, the academic community we spend most of our time in during the week. As Keene and Colligan (2004:6) noted in 2004, anthropology has been slower than other disciplines to incorporate CSL as a core component of undergraduate programs. This is despite the many similarities between the theory and method of CSL, and ethnographic techniques, particularly within applied and activist anthropologies. Eleven years later, is there now an emerging pedagogy within anthropology that can deliver meaningful alliances between community partners and students, achieving worthwhile outcomes for all participants? Or is it time to wake up and “dream different dreams” as Dan Butin (2015:5) encourages us to consider doing?
In this panel we explore the current state of CSL within anthropology courses and we invite papers that respond to the following (or related) themes and questions:
How do we establish and maintain connections with the community?
Designing CSL projects to be strongly anthropological in theory and practice.
Results of formal evaluations of anthropology based CSL projects.
Balancing meaningful community-based outcomes and success, with learning and teaching goals for faculty and students.
Stories of mistakes and missed opportunities in CSL - projects that never got off the ground, unexpected problems, surprising or disappointing outcomes.
Engaging graduate students in service learning - how can we help them fit this ‘extra’ project into an already tight time-line?
Problematizing the paternalism that creeps into many service learning projects.
Bringing anthropological understandings of structural inequalities to bear on the design and implementation of CSL projects.
Community partners' perspectives on CSL.
Aligning CSL projects to fit assessment and graduation deadlines, and incorporating CSL into the wider curriculum.
Direct responses to Dan Butin’s recent tenets of practice, for example, “If the community partner’s phone number is not programmed into the instructor's cell phone, it is not critical service-learning” (Butin, 2015:8-9).
Co-authored papers are encouraged from faculty and community leaders who wish to speak together about the costs and benefits of engaging in CSL projects. Advanced graduate students with experiences of learning and/or teaching through CSL are also encouraged to apply.
If you are interested in participating in this panel please send a 250 word abstract to Emma McGuirk ([log in to unmask]) by Wednesday 1st April, 2015. Authors of selected papers will be notified via email by April 3rd. Final abstract submissions will be due April 15th.

[13] AAA Panel - 21st Century Anarchisms - Deadline April 1, 2015
21st Century
Anarchisms
After the peak of global justice movements in the late 1990s and early 2000s,
many activists around the world have been redefining their activism to work on
carving out new life-paths, ideologies, and practices for themselves. In this
historical context, practices, ideologies, and forms of organizing that draw
from an anarchist tradition seem to be increasing in a diversity of local
contexts around the world. Why are these anarchist forms arising now? How do
these new forms of activism draw from and/or depart from the movements for
global justice? What are the relationships between new anarchisms and the
principles of horizontality and autonomy that emerged through the movements for
global justice? In what ways do contemporary practices subvert, transgress, reinvent,
or re-purpose ‘traditional anarchisms’ from the early 20th century? What new
forms is anarchism taking in different social, political, and cultural
contexts? What roles do ideology and ethical practice play in the formation of
new anarchist subjectivities? How are these movements using transnational
social movement networks, electronic media, visual and graphic arts, or
indigenous political strategies? How can we use ethnography to investigate
these issues? This panel seeks a diverse set of papers that explore 21st
Century anarchisms around the world.

Beyond Neoliberal Conservation: New Perspectives from the Global South
Scholars studying and theorizing neoliberal conservation have made significant
contributions to our understanding of global environmentalism. Among other
topics, these scholars have investigated the shifting dynamics of fortress and
community-based conservation, the rolling back of state-centric resource
management, the rolling out of new regulatory frameworks to promote global
market integration, the expansion of public and private protected areas around
the world, the valorization of ecotourism-led development, the ascendancy of
consumer-based recreational activism, the growing synergy between environmental
NGOs and transnational corporations, and payments for ecosystem services (PES).
While neoliberal capitalism is far from disappearing, many Latin American
countries—and perhaps others nations in the global south—have increasingly
turned away from neoliberalism at the state and local levels, charting new
courses that have selectively rejected privatization, liberalization,
deregulation, and labor flexibilization as the sine qua non of national
development. As these post-neoliberal development regimes gain increasing
momentum, this raises a number of key questions for research. What comes after
neoliberal conservation? How have these new development paradigms and regimes
of resistance begun to reshape our understandings of global environmentalism,
as well as its institutions, practices, values, signs, and conceptions of the
future? How have states, corporations, civil society groups, and indigenous
peoples articulated new understandings of conservation? Is “natural capital” a
strictly neoliberal discourse? Or might it be viewed as integral to
post-neoliberal capitalism? As some states move to strengthen the social safety
net, how might this affect our understandings of PES? How have these
alternative capitalisms impacted ecotourism, protected areas, and
public-private collaborations?
[15] AAA Panel - Magic, Science, Religion… and Secularism: Articulating Science Studies and Critical Studies of Secularism - Deadline: April 3, 2015
Magic, Science, Religion… and Secularism: Articulating Science Studies and Critical Studies of Secularism
Call for Papers: Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association, November 2015, Panel Submission Deadline: April 3, 2015
Organizer and Chair: Dr. Matthew C. Watson (Texas Tech University, Mount Holyoke College), [log in to unmask]
This panel draws together research on the anthropologies of science, religion, and secularism. Classic accounts by anthropologists including Tylor, Frazer, Malinowski, and Tambiah demarcate domains of magic, science, and religion. Such theorists tended to conceive of science and religion as distinct and contradictory systems of practice, belief, and knowledge. More recent studies in the anthropologies of science and secularism may challenge this differentiation, even relegating it to an exhausted modernism intent on establishing the purity of (social) science. Science studies scholars have attended ethnographically to how forms of religious practice and belief coexist with science and may animate scientific knowledge production. Likewise, following Talal Asad (2003), anthropologists of religion and secularism have examined the complex intersections of the secular and the sacred in both Western and postcolonial contexts.
Despite the historical, political, and cultural connections between science and the secular, little anthropological research has drawn substantively from both science studies and the anthropology of religion/secularism. This panel opens a space to think science, religion, and the secular as phenomena that intersect, emerge together, or come into conflict. I invite papers that are situated historically or ethnographically at points of tension or co-production between science, religion, and secularism, as well as papers that focus on one domain while demonstrating openness to or curiosity about others.
Possible topics include:
· How historical or ethnographic attention breaks down distinctions between science and religion, fact and belief
· The role of the sciences in promoting or defending official state secularisms
· Science and secularism as colonial or postcolonial institutions and discourses
· Science/secularism, sovereignty, exception, and Homo sacer (Agamben 1998)
· Science and secularism as sacred, magic, or animistic systems
· Anthropology (or other epistemic fields) as religious, mystic, or sacred knowledge
· The incorporation of scientific facts into bodies of religious knowledge (or vice-versa)
· Science, religion, and/or secularism as ontologies or “modes of existence” (Latour 2013)
· Renovation or critique of classic anthropological theories that promote or resist the purification of science from religion
· The epistemic, aesthetic, or political limits of “science,” “religion,” and “secularism” as anthropological categories
· Rethinking the anthropology of religion in light of STS and secularism studies
Potential participants should submit titles and abstracts (up to 250 words) to Matt Watson at [log in to unmask] by Friday, April 3, 2015. Participants will be notified by April 7. Please feel free to get in touch if you have questions or would like to indicate potential interest in participating.
[16] AAA Panel - Endangered Health: Justice at the Intersection of Environment and Well-Being - Deadline: April 8, 2015
CFP for 114th Annual
Meeting of the American Anthropological Association
November 18-22, 2015, Denver, Colorado
Meeting Theme: “Familiar Strange”
*Panel Organizers: Chelsea Wentworth (University of Pittsburgh) and Nora
Bridges (University of Pittsburgh)*
*Endangered Health: Justice at the Intersection of Environment and Well-Being*
This panel investigates how individuals and organizations prioritize healthy
environments as integral to full enjoyment of other fundamental human rights,
including the rights to health, food, water, and sanitation. In an era of
increasing uncertainty, the tangible health ramifications of environmental and
climatic change are of critical concern to many worldwide. Not mere
products of their environments, people reciprocally shape and are shaped by
their engagements with their physical surroundings. Because people produce
health through various means as they interact with their environments, this
panel centers attention on the ways that people see their health as directly
influenced by their environment and documents their struggles to create,
redefine, or campaign for healthier environments.
Papers examine how health is understood and produced in the context of
environmental change by showcasing contemporary ethnographic accounts from
across the world to explore the diversity of experience at the intersection of
health and the environment. How do people negotiate their environments in the
provision of care for themselves, their families, and their communities?
How do people who are dependent upon their environment for their livelihoods
manage the burden of health problems derived from environmental degradation?
What are alternative conceptualizations of a healthy environment? In
addition to these guiding questions, we invite papers that address, but are not
limited to, the following topics:
- Intersecting health
and environmental inequalities
- Sustainable development programs and health initiatives
- Social, ecological, and food justice movements from the
grassroots to
the transnational
- The impact of climate change on livelihood strategies
- How Traditional Ecological Knowledge informs health practice
- How community and household gardening promote health
- Health at the conservation and extraction nexus
Together, the papers in this session will reappraise familiar anthropological
topics such as class, gender, race, religion, economics, and kinship systems by
considering how environment and health are entangled for our interlocutors as
they speak about and/or actively pursue justice in their quest for well-being.
Considering global, historical, and political forces, this panel documents
diverse strategies individuals utilize in both discourse and action as they
work through endangered environments toward health, ranging from everyday forms
of resistance to outright social movements at a grand scale.
Those interested in presenting a paper
for this panel, please submit a 250 word abstract to Chelsea [log in to unmask] and
Nora Bridges [log in to unmask] on
or before *Wednesday, April 8, 2015. *Enquiries welcome.

[17] Abstract - Book - Understanding Vulnerability, Building Resilience: Responses to Disasters and Climate Change - Deadline: June 1, 2016
Book Title: “Understanding Vulnerability, Building Resilience: Responses to Disasters and Climate Change”
Editors:
Michèle L. Companion, Associate Professor of Sociology
University of Colorado – Colorado Springs
Miriam S. Chaiken, Professor of Anthropology
New Mexico State University
Type: Edited Volume
Proposal to be submitted to CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group
Volume Abstract:
As the global climate shifts, communities are faced with a myriad of mitigation and adaptation challenges. These challenges highlight the political, cultural, economic, social, and physical vulnerability of communities, groups, and individuals. However, these challenges can also demonstrate their resilience. Research in the fields of hazard management, humanitarian response, food security programming, agricultural development, and gender-equity programming have sought to understand the factors that create vulnerability, and strategies to enhance resilience in individuals, families, and communities.
This volume will bring together case studies from communities around the globe, indigenous populations, and developing countries that illustrate programming that internalizes these dyadic concepts of resilience and vulnerability. Specifically, the volume will examine programs that have helped reduce risks brought on by political instability, climate change, natural disasters, chronic food insecurity, inequality, and other problems that cause human suffering. Our goal is to both foster a richer understanding of the variations in vulnerability, and to derive lessons on fostering resilience that can be employed on a broader scale. Documenting the best practices for building resilience will be a major focus of the book.
We are seeking interdisciplinary abstract submissions for a peer-reviewed manuscript. Nutritionists, sociologists, anthropologists, economists, policy makers, disaster managers, community leaders, indigenous community organizations, and others are invited to submit abstracts. The volume will be submitted to CRC, part of the Taylor and Francis Group, for publication consideration. This proposal has been requested by an acquiring editor.
We will accept abstracts as well as full papers for this stage of the process. Full length papers should be limited to 5,000 words. Inclusion of graphs and photos are welcome and encouraged. However, please account for these in your paper length. One half-page graph or photo is the equivalent of 250 words. This is volume has an international focus. We welcome submissions focusing on all nations.
DEADLINE for abstract submissions: June 1, 2016
