Europeanist Anthropology / Call for Papers / SAE @ AAAs 2017
On February 15, 2017 by Nadeen ThomasThe Society for Anthropology of Europe (SAE) would like to invite colleagues to submit executive sessions, volunteered sessions, and poster presentations for this year’s 116th AAA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC (November 29 – December 3, 2017). The Society welcomes experiential, innovative, and collaborative sessions, individual papers, and posters that focus on historical and contemporary problems related to European societies and cultures – including (not limited to) questions of political economy, migration, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ecology and the environment, kinship, class, nationalism, health, security, and social movements.
We particularly welcome submissions that engage creatively with this year’s conference theme Anthropology Matters, which calls for anthropologists to employ their critical skills to address contemporary issues of social injustice, health and wellbeing, and environmental challenges. In the decade since the global economic crisis, Europe has been riven by increasing economic inequality, rising nationalist sentiment, and socio-political tensions over migration and reform. The SAE invites submissions considering how these developments have contributed to the (re)writing of histories, presents and futures, and how anthropologists might intervene into this process on behalf of subaltern voices and practices.
The deadline for Executive Session submissions is Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 5pm EDT.
The deadline for Invited and Volunteered Panel, Individual Paper, Roundtable Sessions, and Poster Submissions is Friday, April 14, 2017 at 5pm EDT
Submissions for executive and volunteered sessions should contain a session title and abstract (of no more than 500 words) and individual abstracts (of no more than 250 words), paper title and keywords. Individual papers and poster submission should contain a presentation title, abstract (of no more than 250 words), and keywords. In the case of roundtables, the submission should contain a session abstract (of no more than 500 words), title and keywords. No individual abstracts from participating presenters are required for roundtable submissions.
