SUMMARY:AES 2026 Spring Conference Registration
DESCRIPTION:Register for the 2026 American Ethnological Spring Conference to take place May 1 – 3 at the University of Victoria\, British Columbia Canada.  \nSubmissions due January 15\, 2025. \nForty years ago\, George Marcus and Michael Fischer declared the 1980s an “experimental moment in the human sciences\,” urging anthropologists and other human scientists to rethink ethnography as a site not only of representation but of intervention\, invention\, and critique. Today\, in the context of ecological crisis\, political rupture\, technological transformation\, and epistemic reordering\, we ask: what does experiment mean today? \nThis conference invites scholars to reflect on experiment as both object and mode of anthropological inquiry. How do anthropologists collaborate\, compose\, and critique in experimental ways? What does it mean to “experiment” with form\, with method\, with theory\, or with the infrastructures of scholarly work? And how might experiment be situated—ethically\, politically\, historically—in relation to those whose lives and knowledge we engage? \nWe welcome proposals that explore (but are not limited to) the following themes: \n\nExperimental ethnography: form\, aesthetics\, genre\nCollaborative and co-creative fieldwork practices\nIndigenous experimentation\nSpeculative anthropology and future-oriented inquiry\nArchives\, objects\, and materiality as sites of experiment\nMultispecies and more-than-human experimentation\nInterdisciplinary knowledge creation and experiments across disciplinary boundaries\nExperimental publics: art\, activism\, and engaged scholarship\nTechnologies and infrastructures of knowledge production\nRisks\, failures\, and ethical entanglements of ethnographic practice\nExperiments in pedagogy and teaching anthropology\n\nWe encourage contributions in diverse formats\, including academic papers\, roundtables\, and workshops. \nJoin us as we ask: What does it mean to experiment in and with anthropology today? \nMore information \nRegistration & Submission Guidelines\nTo register and submit proposals for the conference\, the following steps need to be taken prior to the submission deadline: January 15\, 2025 \n\nRegister for the AES Spring 2026 Conference. You need to register for the conference before submitting your abstract.\nOnce you register\, you will receive a link to the submission form in your confirmation email. The submission form should only be completed by:\n\nan individual proposing a paper presentation\nthe organizer of a panel\, roundtable\, author-meets-critic\, or other organized panel structure. Panel participants do not need to fill out the submission form.\n\n\nInitial acceptance decisions will be communicated by February 1\, 2026\, and the program will be released closer to the conference date.\n\nFor inquiries\, contact AES.

SUMMARY:2026 Work and Family Researchers Network Conference
DESCRIPTION:Work and Family Researchers Network next conference will be June 17-20\, 2026 at Concordia University in Montreal Canada.  The WFRN will host preconference events on June 17\, including Predoctoral Workshops and Early Career Fellowship Workshops.  Information on applying to participate in preconference events is presented below. The main conference of presentations and plenaries will take place June 18-20. \nConcordia University is located at 1450 Guy Street Montreal\, Quebec Canada.  Registration is in the John Molson School of Business (JMSB) also known as the “MB building”. \nThe 2026 conference theme is Centering Care Across the Life Course. \nCare is foundational to human well-being and to the functioning of our workplaces\, families\, and societies\, yet it remains chronically undervalued. The 2026 WFRN Conference theme “Centering Care across the Life Course\,” will explore how we can place care at the core of work\, family\, and policy conversation\, ensuring that care and caregiving responsibilities are supported equitably. \nThis theme emphasizes care not only as caregiving responsibilities (for children\, elders\, and others with needs across the life course)\, but also as relational labor that sustains healthy families\, workplaces\, and communities. Whether expressed through care work in families\, professional care work\, informal caregiving\, or relationship-building at work\, care deeply shapes individual trajectories and well-being\, workplace experiences\, and organizational cultures. \nAchieving a care-centered society requires both structural reforms and cultural shifts\, ensuring policies reflect the needs of diverse caregivers while also building public and political support for care as a shared societal responsibility. This conference invites scholars\, practitioners\, policymakers\, journalists and other stakeholders to explore solutions that prioritize care\, in all its forms.
