American Anthropological Association Annual Meeting 2011 (Montreal)
Society for Visual Anthropology (SVA)
Call for Invited Session Proposals
2011 SVA Program Co-Chairs:
Jenny Chio ([log in to unmask])
Jonathan S. Marion ([log in to unmask])
The SVA welcomes paper and poster session proposals for consideration at this year’s Annual Meeting in Montreal (November 16-20, 2011). The theme for the meeting is “Traces, Tidemarks, and Legacies,” which provides a rich context for exploring the innovative and exciting work conducted under the broad rubric of visual anthropology. Last year, SVA sponsored sessions explored such diverse topics as urban visualities, participatory media research, Australian aboriginal media production, the ethnography of television, and the anthropology of religion in Haiti.
The deadline for consideration as an “invited session,” including both paper and poster sessions, is March 15, 2011. We highly encourage anyone considering to submit a session for invited status to get in touch with us early! This year, all invited session proposals must be submitted online, through the AAA website (www.aaanet.org). Decisions will be announced by April 4, 2011. All rules regarding pre-registration (including payment) and membership in the AAA will apply.
All Invited Session Proposals (paper or poster sessions) must include a session abstract of up to 500 words and information for all participants (including individual abstracts, 250 words max). Proposals that are not selected for invited status will automatically be considered for regular sponsored status, and changes can be made to the proposals up to the regular submission deadline of April 15, 2011.
We are both more than happy to work with you on your paper, poster, or roundtable sessions – please be in touch early, and as often as necessary! We’re happy to assist session organizers with the structuring of their proposals. The SVA encourages innovative formats, including poster sessions, extended screening of visual materials, and fostering more dynamic discussion periods.
