<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; ">The Australian Anthropological Society Conference is not far away! BRISBANE, UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND, 25-28 SEPTEMBER 2012.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; ">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.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; ">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.</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; "><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; ">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.</div>
