Call for Late Breaking Submissions, Anthropologica

Giving Shape to COVID-19 through Anthropological Lenses

#IStayHome #pandemicdreams #INoLongerRemember

The COVID-19 global health emergency has given rise to unprecedented challenges in society, with complex effects. Anthropologists are inclined to think about the impacts of the pandemic on our changing world, and also on our work as social scientists and critical thinkers. Because few anthropologists will have had the time or funding to address the current pandemic in any depth as of yet, we see this as the right time to offer the space for reflection pieces, photo-essays, and dispatches or narratives from frontline workers, volunteers, activists, professors, and citizens, as well as research papers for those of you in the field amidst the public health crisis, social distancing, and travel restrictions. Anthropologica invites submissions that offer anthropological insight into experiences and ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic.

LONDON 2020 CANCELLED

The CASCA Executive Committee has met, and, in collaboration with the Organizing Committee from the Department of Anthropology at Western University, we decided not to proceed with an online format for our conference, and are withdrawing from the Virtual Congress proposed by the Federation. The CASCA 2020 conference is therefore cancelled.

For the time being, our main focus is our members’ health and well-being, and we consider that this is the responsible thing for us to do, as heartbreaking as it may be—especially given all the fantastic hard work put in by the organizing committee, Kim Clark, Andrew Walsh, Greg Beckett and Pamela Block, and of course Karli Whitmore. On my behalf and on behalf of the Executive Committee, I would like to express my profound gratitude for all their efforts.

If you have already registered for the Congress, your registration fees will be reimbursed in full. Please request your refund before April 30, 2020, which is the Federation’s deadline, by contacting congress@ideas-idees.ca.

Anthropologists and Their Worlds - a series

This series presents audiovisual testimonies and reflections of Canadian anthropologists. Guests share their field experiences and their intellectual trajectories as well as the knowledge they have accumulated over the years, in different "worlds". The series offers long narrations of anthropologists, filmed in their environment, thinking back their disciplinary vocation and their work, talking about their intellectual contribution in methodological, empirical or theoretical fields. The films are open access. This series is produced by Anthropologie et Sociétés, the anthropology department of Université Laval, Anthropologica, and CASCA, and directed by Frédéric Benjamin Laugrand. The series received financial support from these institutions, and from the SHRCC and the IXE Commission mixte permanente Québec / Wallonie-Bruxelle. To see the whole series, visit the Anthropologie et Sociétés website, and follow the Facebook page.
