SUMMARY:SACC Great Lakes Regional Conference
DESCRIPTION:Society for Anthropology in Community Colleges (SACC) \nGreat Lakes Regional Conference at the Field Museum \nSaturday\, April 27\, 2024 \nThe Field Museum\, Chicago\, Illinois \nOrganized by Evin Rodkey\, Ph.D. of Muskegon Community College in Muskegon\, Michigan and Isabel Scarborough\, Ph.D. of Parkland College\, a community college in Champaign\, Illinois \nCome Join Us to… \nPRESENT AT OR PARTICIPATE IN ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS! \nENJOY AN INSIDER’S GUIDED TOUR OF THE FIELD MUSEUM! \nEXPLORE THE MUSEUM ON YOUR OWN WITH FREE TIME! \nThe Society for Anthropology in the Community Colleges (SACC)\, a section of the American Anthropological Association (AAA)\, is holding a Great Lakes Region conference at the Field Museum in Chicago. This is a one-day conference taking place on Saturday\, April 27\, 2024. Though a regional conference\, no matter where you are located\, you are welcome to attend! \nThis conference is intended to bring together anthropology instructors\, students\, and interested others\, including from outside anthropology\, to discuss issues relevant to teaching\, learning\, and otherwise engaging with material relevant to anthropology. Two major features of this conference are an approximately one-hour guided tour of select exhibits and their connections to contemporary museum practice\, plus 2-3 hours of free time to explore the Museum all included in the (see below – very cheap) registration fee! \nCheck-in opens at 9:00 am at the west entrance and at 9:30 am we will begin with roundtable-style discussions\, which can include visual presentations using a projector and poster presentations as well. These sessions will be arranged by the organizers according to the topic proposals received. There is no specific theme; we welcome a wide range of topics relevant to the material we deal with in anthropology. \nA lunch break will follow the presentations and discussions. You are welcome to bring your own food\, which will be safely stored\, though note refrigerators\, freezers\, microwaves\, etc. will not be available. You may also purchase food from either of the two Field Museum eateries: The Field Bistro on the main level (open 8:00 am – 4:30 pm)\, which\, per the Museum website\, features “locally sourced food and quick grab-and-go service” or The Explorer Café on the ground level (open 10:00 am – 4:00 pm)\, which\, per the website\, offers “family-friendly foods in a casual environment.” \nFollowing lunch\, we will be treated to a one-hour guided tour of select exhibits conducted by Mario Longoni\, Lead Environmental Social Scientist at the Keller Science Action Center in the Museum\, who has been with the Museum for over 25 years. Through the exhibits “Abbott Hall of Conservation: Restoring Earth\,” “Maori Meeting House\, Ruatepupuke II\,” and “The Changing Face of Science\,” Mario will illustrate shifts in the Museum’s methods and goals as a teaching\, change making\, and representing institution. He will also highlight “Chicago’s Legacy Hula” and “Native Truths: Our Voices\, Our Stories” as key exhibits you can visit on your own. \nFollowing the tour\, you will then have 2-3 hours of free time in the Museum! \nThe conference then officially ends at 4:45 pm\, ahead of the Museum closing at 5:00 pm. We will meet at a designated location in Stanely Field Hall (the main area at the center of the Museum) to close out. And we will make plans to meet in the evening for dinner for those who can and would like to! \nTO SUBMIT A PRESENTATION PROPOSAL: \nYou may and participate in the discussions attend without presenting.

SUMMARY:2024 SEA/SAW Spring Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Work and the Data Economy  \nA joint meeting of the Society for Economic Anthropology and the Society for the Anthropology of Work  \nThe production\, distribution\, and consumption of digital data has become an important domain of economic activity. Data is said to upend conventional economic thinking\, as a resource that can be transported at negligible cost and used without being depleted. Yet the enactment of the data economy depends on more and less familiar forms of human labor\, from the waged work of analysts\, modelers\, and technicians to the uncompensated and often nonconsensual generation of trace data in everyday life. Sensor networks gathering real-time data have permeated industries from agriculture to shipping\, while the digitization of museum holdings and the massification of genetic sequencing have given rise to new value chains that cut across boundaries of public and private. The consequences of these developments are still coming into focus\, promising greater efficiency and access but also compounding issues of equity and control. How\, we might ask\, does data capitalism stand to reinforce inequality along lines of race\, gender\, class\, and disability?

SUMMARY:Into Darkness\, Into Light - Anthropology of Consciousness 41st Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Call for Presentations \nLink to the Call for Presentations Form: AAC 2024 Submission Site – Google Forms \nDeadline: February 15\, 2024 \nThe Program Committee for the Association for the Anthropology of Consciousness invites members and their collaborators to investigate how we engage with themes of darkness and/or light. Our theme and meeting dates were chosen to coincide with the total solar eclipse\, which will come to North America on April 8\, 2024. According to space.com\, “A total solar eclipse happens when the moon appears the same size in the sky as the sun\, or slightly larger\, so fully covers the disk of the sun\, giving observers a view of the sun’s outer atmosphere\, the corona” (https://www.space.com/41552-total-solar-eclipse-2024-guide.html). This event provides opportunities for making connections between consciousness and experiences of lightness and darkness in an array of forms\, from literal to metaphorical. It invites us to consider how light and dark may be conceived as binary and yet include nuances such as crepuscular shadows and normally invisible coronal elements. Contributors are invited to draw on a wide range of topics\, including\, for example\, lived experiences of ritual and other collective awakenings\, oppression or privilege\, (in/ex)clusivity\, and healing. We also consider this conference an opportunity to build networks for collective engagement\, restorative practices\, healing\, and reconciliation.

SUMMARY:AES/APLA Spring Conference\, REPAIR\, April 4 – 6\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join AES and APLA at the University of Pittsburg for their Spring meeting under the theme REPAIR. The spring AES-APLA conference invites scholars\, activists\, and artists to grapple with the complexities and possibilities of repair in the contexts of the people and sites with and in which they work. \nIn the face of compounding harms—mass extinctions\, settler-colonial dispossession\, gentrification\, displacement—what does it mean to repair the historic legacies of damage and harm? What does it demand of individuals\, communities\, or states? How might studies of possibility or hope be enhanced through an attention to actually existing practices of repair? How can the tools of anthropology be used to amplify the demands coming from historically disadvantaged communities? Such questions call for anthropology to link the radical imagination to present struggles. At the same time\, as scholarship on abolition\, revolution\, and refusal highlight\, it is also important to document unfixable situations\, times in which repair does more harm than good\, or instances in which people find it more ethical to abandon or refuse. \nOnsite registration will begin at 2pm\, April 4\, 2024 for those who wish to register in-person. The deadline for paper/panel submission is February 5\, 2024 at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Read the full CFP here. \nRegistration Rates \nStudents  \n\n$50 AES/APLA section members\n$75 Non-members\n\nFaculty \n\n$100 Part-time/adjunct\n$125 AES/APLA section members\n$150 Fulltime non-members\n\nFollow this link to find out more about becoming a member of the AAA. Existing AAA members can join AES or APLA by following this link.

SUMMARY:2023 AAA/CASCA Annual Meeting: Transitions
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 AAA/CASCA Annual Meeting will again be a hybrid meeting. This means the meeting will take place in-person in Toronto\, ON\, CA\, from November 15-19\, 2023\, as well as online over those same dates. \nThe place-based meeting in Toronto will look and feel very similar to annual meetings of the past. As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 Pandemic\, safety protocols will be in place to ensure the health and safety of in-person attendees. Please check our webpage on Public Health and Safety often for updates to our protocols as the AAA and CASCA continue to monitor the evolving COVID-19 situation and applicable public health guidance. \nThe virtual component of the meeting will be hosted professionally on a virtual meeting platform. Virtual attendees will be able to engage with live virtually presented content during session rounds\, select place-based sessions streamed live into the platform from Toronto\, and pre-recorded asynchronous content uploaded to the platform’s library. Place-based attendees will have the option to attend meeting sessions in Toronto or on the online platform\, as the platform will also serve as the place-based attendee mobile app.

SUMMARY:Anthros on the Public Stage: Interactive Workshop for Public Speaking & Writing
DESCRIPTION:Are you an anthropologist eager to share your research experiences and insights to make a difference in the world? Have you ever wondered how to tell a compelling story that can help people understand each other better and resolve their differences? Would you like to learn some strategies for communicating persuasively with print/digital media? Or might you be interested in coaching peers\, students\, or groups you work with to relate their experiences? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions\, this course is for you! \nThis course has two overarching goals: 1) Take the guesswork out of speaking to and writing for general audiences\, and 2) Equip you with the tools and strategies for successful public engagement.

SUMMARY:The REAL AI revolution: the benefits of Chatbot Augmented Instruction
DESCRIPTION:Join Michael Wesch and Elisa (EJ) Sobo for an exciting conversation on how to leverage generative AI for better teaching and learning! Together\, they will delve into the challenges presented by large language models and generative AI technologies\, offering not only concrete suggestions for classroom practice but also timely reflections on the purpose of higher education. “In meeting this new technology with creativity and purpose\, we can reorient education’s compass needle back toward process as opposed to product – toward thinking about as opposed to merely recounting what others have said” – and as we do\, we can bolster efforts to increase equity in higher education too: “The adaptations we create\, not ChatGPT\, could be the real revolution” (Sobo\, 2023\, 1). By guiding students to apply generative AI in innovative classroom activities and projects\, we can empower our students to use this technology as a practical tool for inquiry and discovery while also interrogating its potential sociocultural impacts. \nSobo\, E. (2023). Could ChatGPT Prompt a New Golden Age in Higher Education? Teaching and Learning Anthropology\, 6(1). http://dx.doi.org/10.5070/T36160114 \nPresenters \nMichael Wesch is a winner of the CASE/Carnegie US Professor of the Year Award\, Professor of Anthropology at Kansas State University\, and founder of anth101.com\, an award-winning free textbook alternative for Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. \nElisa (EJ) Sobo\, professor of anthropology\, is Director for Undergraduate Research in the College of Arts and Letters at San Diego State University\, and AI Faculty Fellow in the Instructional Technology division. A past president of the Society for Medical Anthropology (SMA) and a past Convener for the AAA’s Section Assembly Executive Committee (SAEC)\, Dr. Sobo’s research concerns non-biomedical or ‘alternative’ approaches to health including\, most recently\, yogic sound bath therapy. \nFees: Free for members and non-members

SUMMARY:Department Climate and Academic Workload in Anthropology Departments
DESCRIPTION:Scholars of intersectional identities face unique challenges in their departments including disproportionate workloads\, excessive service assignments\, and additional mentorship obligations. Patricia A. Matthew\, an English department faculty member at Montclair State University\, describes these extra commitments as “invisible labor” – because institutions do not value this labor with the currency they typically use to reward faculty work: reappointment\, tenure\, and promotion. This webinar session\, hosted by SSRC PROGRESS\, is structured around a participant-led discussion of two case studies\, with two discussion facilitators to support a meaningful dialogue on issues of department climate and academic workload/career advancement. The ultimate goal of this session is to have an open discussion of both challenges and successes in employing DEI interventions in anthropology departments. \nPROGRESS is an NSF ADVANCE adaptation grant program that addresses organizational policies and procedures related to advisory board formation\, peer review\, and fellowship/awards conferment to ensure that diversity\, equity\, and inclusion measures are meaningful and effective. Housed within the Social Science Research Council\, PROGRESS partners with five disciplinary associations – the American Anthropological Association\, the American Economic Association\, the American Historical Association\, the American Political Science Association\, and the American Sociological Association. \nPresenters \n\nVeronica Zepeda\, Program Director\, Sloan Scholars Mentoring Network – Social Science Research Council\nFred Palm\, VP of Administration and Operations\, P.I. of PROGRESS – Social Science Research Council\n\nFees: Free for members and non-members

SUMMARY:2023 SEA Annual Meeting — Wellbeing And The Common Good
DESCRIPTION:In our third year of a global pandemic\, we are stretched thin\, suffering touches us all\, and our wells of empathy seem to be running dry. And yet\, despite this suffering many of us are also paying closer attention to our own well-being and to the well-being of those around us. In this spirit of exploration and cautious hope\, the theme of the 2023 Society for Economic Anthropology meeting will be “Well-Being and the Common Good.” Drawing in part from a growing “anthropology of the good” (coined by Joel Robbins)\, we seek papers that challenge us to rethink the economy as one part of a total experience aimed at making life worthwhile. The anthropology of the good asks us to reflect on the values we hold as economic anthropologists and how these values lead us to investigate (or set aside) topics like well-being or the common good. Bringing these topics to the foreground of economic research can help us understand where we have fallen short and where we might succeed in efforts to study\, reveal\, highlight\, and perhaps help people to achieve well-being and the common good.

SUMMARY:SAR 2023 Spring Meeting: Religious Assemblages
DESCRIPTION:A signature contribution of the Society for the Anthropology of Religion\, and the anthropology of religion more generally\, has been to reveal both the overt and covert ways in which religious practice both informs and can be conjoined to myriad other domains of social life. From James Frazer’s interrogation of the pagan roots of Christianity to Saba Mahmood’s insights about the implicit Christianity of liberalism\, the anthropology of religion has revealed assemblages of religious forms and practices with other forms and practices that superficially appear to be devoid of religious influence.
