The CASCA 2013 organising committee has extended the deadline for submitting paper and session proposals to Sunday March 17, 2013. Please send in your proposals soon.
The 2013 Annual Conference of the Canadian Anthropology Society/Société canadienne anthropologie will be held from May 8-11, 2013, on the beautiful campus of the University of Victoria in Victoria, B.C. The conference is hosted by the Department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria http://anthropology.uvic.ca/
CASCA and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria gratefully acknowledge that CASCA 2013 will be hosted within the territories of the Coast and Straits Salish people. The university sits on the site of an old Lekwungen village.
Welcome to the ancestral land of the Lekwungen family group, Checkonein and Sungayka village ('snow patches'). This area was known for camas harvesting, trading and cultural and spiritual practices. It was home to the Checkonein family group including Chee-al-thuc whose longhouse was in what is now known as Cadboro Bay. The beach at low tide was one place the ancestors played qoqwialls ('lacrosse')—Cheryl Bryce, Songhees Nation.
We look forward to welcoming you to Victoria and to the conference. Information about accommodation, local transportation and Victoria are available on the 2013 Conference page of the CASCA website.
Conference sessions begin on the morning of May 8. We invite you to join us from 5 to 7 pm on the evening of May 7th for a Welcome Reception at the University Club at the University of Victoria. A registration table will be available on site during the reception.
If you have any questions, please contact the organizing committee of CASCA 2013 at cascaloc@uvic.ca

This applied workshop offers an introduction to principles, challenges and best practices of using a variety of digital media technologies (e.g., social networking sites, blogging, Twitter, YouTube and digital video) with high public visibility and accessibility for engaging diverse research and dissemination communities.
Case studies will be presented on the use of Facebook as a communication platform and dissemination tool with youth; the application of YouTube and digital stories in cultural preservation; and practices (and ethics) of blogging, tweeting and linking Google Plus across multiple media platforms in heritage studies, archaeological contexts and conservation work. Opportunities for sharing experiences, skill building and brainstorming around the development of new and ongoing projects will be incorporated into the session. We will be based in a computer lab, working hands-on with the technology, and as such participants are encouraged to bring emerging and in-progress media engagements along to experiment with during the workshop. Upon registering, please submit a short (1 or 2 sentence) statement of your interests and expectations as to what you would like to achieve from this session in terms of skill development, capacity building, and critical reflection. Please send statements to Sarah Fletcher sfletch@uvic.ca. Limited to 25 participants.
