>> CALL FOR PAPERS
>>
>> The 27th Annual James C. Young Conference
>>
>> “Shifting Positions: Bodies in Space�
>>
>> This call invites the submission of abstracts for
>> presentations to the annual James C. Young Conference,
>> the longest running student-led conference at the
>> University of California, Riverside. Sponsored by the
>> Student Association of Graduate Anthropologists, the
>> conference provides the opportunity for students or
>> other researchers to present papers or posters on
>> topics of anthropological interest. Such presentations
>> allow students to share their research experiences and
>> interests with fellow peers, researchers, and faculty,
>> gaining valuable experience toward professional
>> development.
>>
>> This year’s conference, titled “Shifting
>> Positions: Bodies in Space�, explores the concepts
>> of body, space, and experience. Although grounded in
>> anthropology, the conference encourages
>> interdisciplinary dialogue and cooperation, and
>> welcomes papers from any field of study. Such dialogue
>> will enable the conference to address nuances,
>> contradictions, and diverse standpoints related to
>> this year’s theme. In past years, participants have
>> presented papers from various departments including
>> history, linguistics, political science, geology, art
>> history, and women’s studies. Another benefit of
>> this interdisciplinary dialogue is that the conference
>> makes it possible for students and to delve into
>> associated themes connecting their research interests;
>> such may include, but is certainly not limited to,
>> concerns with power, performance, diversity,
>> landscape, and ecology.
>>
>> The James C. Young Conference is tentatively scheduled
>> to take place on February 3, 2007 at the University of
>> California, Riverside. Abstracts describing paper or
>> poster presentations should be no longer than 250
>> words; presentations at the conference should be
>> planned to have a length of 15 minutes. Panels
>> involving multiple presentations are also welcome; in
>> this case, an abstract should be submitted
>> individually for each presenter. Along with abstracts,
>> please submit the following information: name,
>> research affiliation, and any A/V equipment needed
>> (Powerpoint or DVD/VHS projectors, slide projector,
>> etc.). We will not accept abstracts for dramatic,
>> choral, or choreographed performances.
>>
>> Please submit abstracts and paper proposals, as well
>> as questions and comments, via email to
>> jamesyoungcolloq@gmail.com.
>>
>> Deadline for submission: Monday, January 8, 2007
