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.

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: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?

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.
