[csaa-forum] REMINDER: Call for EOI - Daniel Miller Masterclass

[Fergus Grealy]

THE ARC CULTURAL RESEARCH NETWORK PRESENTS:
A Masterclass with Professor Daniel Miller (University College, London)
Tuesday 30 November and Wednesday 1 December, 2010
Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies, The University of Queensland
 
CALL FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FROM POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS AND EARLY
CAREER RESEARCHERS
This is a call for expressions of interest from prospective participants
in this two day masterclass from Professor Daniel Miller. The format for
the masterclass will involve an opening discussion with Professor Miller
around his work on consumption, media and material culture, followed by
a series of discussions with participants about their own research
projects. Participants will be asked to provide Professor Miller with a
short outline of their current work as a means of framing each
discussion. 
The masterclass is designed for research higher degree students and
early career researchers working on consumption and material culture.
This work can be from a range of disciplinary perspectives - cultural
studies, cultural anthropology, cultural geography, among them. The
number of participants is to be capped at 15, and so an early expression
of interest is advised. Those from outside Brisbane who are selected
will be offered financial assistance with airfares as well as
accommodation for two nights in Brisbane. 
Expressions of interest should be made up of a short cv together with a
300 word statement which outlines how the applicants' current research
would benefit from their participation in this masterclass. The closing
date for these submissions is October 15th.
Expressions of interest and any enquiries should be sent to Fergus

Daniel Miller is professor of material culture studies at the department
of anthropology at UCL. He is the author and editor of many books based
on ethnographic research in India, the Philippines, Trinidad and London
on topics ranging from clothing and housing, the impact of mobile phones
on poverty to the nature of consumption.  His work has been used across
a number of disciplines from anthropology to cultural and media studies.
He is internationally regarded as one of the leading figures in the
study of material culture. Current projects include The Global Denim
project, a forthcoming book on the social impact of Facebook, and a
Philippines' based ethnographic study of the use of new media in
maintaining relationships between people separated for long periods. The
first of a two volume retrospective collection of Daniel Miller's work,
Stuff, was published by Polity in 2010.
