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.
