SUMMARY:2026 Spring Conference of the American Ethnological Society
DESCRIPTION:The 2026 Spring Conference of the American Ethnological Society\, \nwill be held at the University of Victoria\, in British Columbia from May 1-3\, 2026 and is hosted by the Department of Anthropology and the Centre for Asia-Pacific Initiatives.  \n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 conference will be hosted in person at the University of Victoria\, Victoria\, British Columbia\, Canada. The conference will take place May 1-3. An interactive map of campus can be found HERE. \n\n\n\n\n\nExperiment as test or as exploration: modes of agency in the face of subjection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Chinese language distinguishes two types of experiment: 试验 (shìyàn) and 实验 (shíyàn). The first\, 试验\, is a controlled test that typically takes place in a laboratory. The second\, 实验\, refers to open-ended trial-and-error in the real world. The actor in 试 验 (experiment as test) has full control over the subject matter\, but the actor in 实验 (experiment as exploration) is part of the trial and is ready to be transformed. Socialism\, as the slogan goes\, is a great 实验 in the real world. The two types of experiment represent distinct modes of agency. While tests demand discipline\, vigilance and willpower\, exploration requires attentiveness to the multiple\, potential alternatives that already exist and an openness to adjust oneself to them. \nIndividual willingness to maximize economic benefits through hard work has been indispensable to China’s post-1980 economic development. However\, this developmental model appears to have reached its endpoint. This has precipitated a widespread sense of subjection\, especially among contemporary university students and young professionals (20- to 40-year-olds) who will shape China’s future. They are eager to free themselves from a life dominated by the single-minded pursuit of development yet find it difficult to imagine a meaningful life undefined by economic goals. They feel powerless because their desire for alternatives has yet to find an effective mode of agency that makes concrete changes. My ethnographic inquiry\, facilitated through public conversations and social art activities\, suggests that members of this cohort are embracing experiment-as-exploration in their lives. This may suggest an emerging counter movement to both neoliberal economy and authoritarian governance. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker: Dr. Xiang Biao\n\n\n\n\nXiang Biao is the Director of the Department of the Anthropology of Economic Experimentation at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology. Previously\, he was a Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford. He has worked on migration and social change in China\, India\, and other parts of Asia. He is now exploring a “common concerns” approach in social research. His book Global Body Shopping was awarded the 2008 Anthony Leeds Prize by the Society for Urban\, National\, and Transnational Anthropology (SUNTA). Biao Xiang studied sociology at Beijing University and received his PhD in social anthropology from the University of Oxford\, UK.

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:The 2025 Society for Linguistic Anthropology Biennial Conference
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to imagine today?\nThe 2025 Society for Linguistic Anthropology Conference invites participants to explore the many ways that imagination critically shapes\, reproduces\, and transforms social worlds across times\, spaces\, and scales through discursive and non-discursive processes and practices. \nStarting with the idea of imagination as movement toward a thing\, state of affairs\, and/or set of ideas that does not (yet) exist\, we prompt participants to ask: Who imagines? What gets imagined? Toward what ends and with what effects? How do particular imaginaries resist or engage practices and technologies of mediation?  What happens when imagination is not just linked to\, but is also untethered from temporal terms and logics? What is the relationship between imagination and forms of individual and collective action\, including narrative\, claims-making\, and other rhetorical modes? How can we understand the myriad instantiations of imagination\, creation\, and critique—from innovation\, construction\, or invention to destruction\, violence\, or the reinforcement of the status quo?

SUMMARY:Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness Spring Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Don’t we all love a little magic and mystery? Ancient mystery schools taught ways of navigating the universe\, connecting with the divine\, and gaining wisdom. Magic was a method of interacting with the supernatural and to influence desired outcomes. Yet\, even as science has changed our understanding of the world and our place in it\, people still seek out the mystical. Many seek out spiritual experiences\, delight in being fooled by illusionists\, attend role-playing mysteries\, and hope their Hogwarts letter will arrive. For the upcoming conference we invite members to explore how and why mystery and magic are so enchanting to us. While there have been many anthropological studies of magic in the past\, there are still many meaningful ways in which we can look at how magic and mystery impact humanity. We are looking for topics from personal experiences of magic\, magic as control\, connection\, self-actualization\, even to the mystery of consciousness itself.

SUMMARY:2025 Society for Psychological Anthropology (SPA) Biennial Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The SPA Biennial brings together scholars from all levels – students\, postdocs\, junior & senior faculty—who are exploring diverse issues in psychological anthropology. The conference is an opportunity to immerse yourself in current debates\, controversies\, and state-of-the-art thinking across a range of approaches within the field.  This is also an opportunity to meet new colleagues and old friends alike. We are planning many informal events and spaces in which we can think out loud\, together.  For those new to the SPA\, we warmly welcome you as part of this community! \nWe recognize that a post-pandemic and Zoom world can induce people to stay at home and on-line.  That sort of habitus misses out on the lived experience and collective energy of shared space.  We are confident that the ambiance of the Santa Ana Pueblo’s Tamaya conference center makes this meeting worth showing up for.  The program offers innovative forums for interaction\, including plenaries\, pre-conference methods/writing workshops\, mentoring for students/junior scholars\, and more.

SUMMARY:Society for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology (SLACA) Biennial Spring Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology (SLACA) is pleased to invite\nsubmissions for our biennial conference\, “(Im)mobility and Memory in Latin America and the\nCaribbean.” This conference will explore the dynamic interrelations between memory and\nmobility in the region\, focusing on how both movement and stasis shape\, and are shaped by\,\ncultural\, social and historical processes. We seek to examine how memory—individual and\ncollective—becomes a contested terrain in relation to both mobility and immobility. \nConceptualizing Memory: \nIn this conference\, we are imagining Memory as encompassing not only personal and collective\nrecollections but also broader questions of heritage\, patrimony\, and history. How are tangible\nand intangible forms of patrimony – such as monuments\, artifacts\, oral traditions\, and historical\nnarratives – remembered\, preserved\, or transformed in contexts of movement\, migration\, or\ndisplacement? How do communities in Latin America and the Caribbean negotiate their cultural\nand historical legacies in the face of (im)mobility? We invite participants to consider these and\nother questions as they relate to the politics of memory\, heritage\, and identity.

SUMMARY:2025 Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing Contest Entry
DESCRIPTION:2025 Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing\nThe Society for Humanistic Anthropology (SHA) announces the annual juried competition for the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing. The late Victor Turner devoted his career to seeking an accessible language that would reopen anthropology to the human subject\, and the competition recognizes the innovative books that further this project. We seek graceful\, accessible ethnographic writing which deeply explores its subject and contributes in innovative and engaging ways to the genre(s) of ethnography and the field of humanistic (and/or post-humanistic) anthropology. \nAward\nA $1\,000 first-place\, a $500 second place and a $250 third-place prize will be awarded in autumn of 2025 (either via online SHA awards ceremony\, or in person at the American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans\, November 19-23\, 2025). \n2025 Edie Turner First Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing\nAuthors for whom their submission to the Victor Turner Prize is also their first book publication will also be eligible for consideration for the Edie Turner First Book Prize in Ethnographic Writing\, a newly created award which recognizes Edie Turner’s support and mentorship of junior scholars. Up to two winners of the Edie Turner Prize may be selected at the discretion of the prize committee. \nAward\nA $1\,000 first-place prize\, potentially split between co-winners\, will be awarded in autumn 2025 (either via online SHA awards ceremony\, or in person at the American Anthropological Association meetings in New Orleans\, November 19-23\, 2025). This award will not affect any book’s consideration for the Victor Turner Prize\, and a book may win both awards. There is no separate entry form for the Edie Turner Prize. \nEligibility\n\nEligible ethnographic genres for both prizes include single or co-authored book-length monographs\, narratives\, historical accounts\, biographies\, memoirs\, dramas\, and creative ethnography (including nonfiction\, fiction\, and poetic works); as well as single-authored collections of essays\, short prose\, or poems (sorry\, no edited collections with multiple contributors).\nOnly books copywrited in 2024 will be eligible. If the work is in translation to English\, we allow 2 extra years from the original publication date; therefore a book published in its original language no earlier than 2022 would be eligible.\nBooks must have been peer-reviewed independently of its author(s).\nBooks may be entered into the competition by authors\, publishers\, book editors\, or colleagues. No formal letter of nomination is needed.\nPublishers are encouraged to limit their submissions to ten books per publisher.\n\nSubmission Guidelines\nBy June 1\, 2025\, Please: \n\nComplete your information in this ENTRY FORM\nPay the entry fee (details to be provided)\nSubmit an electronic copy of your book by the June 1 deadline to SHAVictorTurner@gmail.com.\nShort listed book authors will be asked to submit paper copies of their books to each of the judges (addresses will be provided to these authors and/or publishers).\n\nBiographical information submitted will be used for presenting the winners and publicizing the results of the competition and will not be used for judging the quality of the entries. \nSubmission Fee\nFor authors who are already or become SHA members\, the entry fee is $25/book.

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.
