CALL FOR PAPERS
The Anthropology Department at the University of British Columbia
(Vancouver) is pleased to announce the 2011 graduate student conference
Explorations in Practice which will be held on Friday March 18 and Saturday
March 19, 2001.
Museum studies, history, geography, the arts, as well as archaeology,
linguistic, visual, and socio-cultural anthropology embody wide ranges of
techniques and strategies to explore the human experience. Their multiple
perspectives and trajectories converge on the concept of practice.
Discussions of practice can range from research methods to its use as a
framework for conceptualizing human behaviour. How do we understand this
range of experience between practice in research and the everyday practice
of living? What strategies might we use? What are the implications of such
a distinction? This conference provides the opportunity for undergraduate
and graduate students in these and other disciplines to explore ideas of
practice as it applies to their research.
We invite you to submit paper and poster abstracts and visual works by
Friday February 11, 2011 to [log in to unmask] Please limit abstract to
150 words and 3-4 keywords.
For submission of visual works (two-dimensional) please include the
materials and dimensions of your work, installation requirements, and an
abstracted artist statement up to 150 words and 3-4 keywords. A short
biography and link to samples of your work or your website would also be
appreciated. Selected works will be exhibited in the Anthropology building
as a project for enriching conference spaces as platforms promoting
creativity in the visualization of practice.

limited to: - methodology - indigenous issues - performance - identity -
