Call for Papers
Anthropology of Socialist and Postsocialist Societies
NEW DIRECTIONS IN POST/SOCIALIST RESEARCH
The Departments of Anthropology of University College London, and Cambridge
University, will host a workshop at University College London on Monday June
19th 2006 for anthropologists and other like-minded academics, to hear and
discuss papers on specific aspects of research in socialist and
post-socialist societies.
We anticipate part though not all of this yearıs workshop to focus on
socialism in the non-traditional areas, i.e., beyond the space of the former
Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Though submissions are not restricted to
these areas, they will be particularly welcomed, in an attempt to theorise
the effects of Soviet post-socialism on the non-Soviet socialist world.
Please send:
1) abstracts for papers if you are interested in presenting by May 15,
along with a biographical sketch
Or
2) your name and email contact info if interested in attending
