Biennial Conference of the Finnish Anthropological Society 2017 Entangled Mobilities 22th—23th of May 2017, University of Jyväskylä, Finland

The Biennial Conference of the Finnish Anthropological Society 2017 seeks to explore different kinds of mobilities and their interconnections. We ask how spatial and social mobilities are entangled with each other and broader economic, social and political processes. We invite papers which explore following themes: place making; production of boundaries; relationships between actors of mobility (states, citizens, genders classes, generations, the rural and the urban); artifacts and technologies of mobility (new media, material culture, vehicles and food); imaginaries of mobility; movement of ideas and structures (such as education, notions of kinship and family, marriage). We invite all anthropologists and researchers from related disciplines to participate

The deadline for paper proposals is the 5th of March  2017. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by mid-March.

Paper proposals can be submitted for consideration for confirmed panels or without specifying the panel (http://www.antropologinenseura.fi/en/events/anthropology-conference-2017/panels/). If you wish to choose a panel for your paper, send your proposal directly to the panel organizers but also send a copy to the organizer ([log in to unmask]). If you do not wish to choose a panel, send your paper proposal only to the conference organizers ([log in to unmask]). Accepted panels include interesting and timely  discussions and perspectives on variety of topics (please see panels).

Keynote speakers

Professor Purnima Mankekar, (Departments of Gender Studies and Asian American Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles)
