[csaa-forum] Australian Anthropological Society Conference: Culture and Contest in a Material World

[Anna Pertierra]

Dear colleagues - *with apologies for cross postings*

The Australian Anthropological Society Conference is not far away! BRISBANE, UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND, 25-28 SEPTEMBER 2012.

The 2012 conference takes place in a global context of increasing awareness that lives are interconnected across the world. Economic circumstances and climate change are two of the clearest indicators that locally experienced and produced culture is linked to the national and international circulation of ideas, commodities and persons.

We seek with this conference to prompt discussion of both stable and contested social and cultural forms evident in the multitude of settings being researched in anthropology. We encourage contributions focused on materiality as well as work that foregrounds idealist approaches to cultural continuities and change.

Please consider joining us at the University of Queensland, Brisbane, for a conference opportunity that seeks to promote the relevance and excellence of anthropological studies both in the academy and applied research settings.

Register now! We ask you to register as soon as possible to assist with catering and conference organisation:
