Call for papers for a graduate student conference:

*Is Boas Dead?! Four-Field Anthropology in the 21st Century*



March 27, 2010

Department of Anthropology

University of Michigan, Ann Arbor



*Deadline for Abstract Submission: February 5, 2010*



Franz Boas pioneered the first American school of anthropology and had an

enormous impact on the conceptualization of the discipline and the practice

of ethnography through most of the twentieth century. Among Boas'

contributions was the establishment of a 'four-field' approach to

anthropological inquiry, comprised of archaeological, biological,

linguistic, and (socio) cultural anthropology.



Anthropology, as a holistic and comparative study of human biological and

cultural diversity, was engaged in interdisciplinary research before the

concept came into vogue in academia. However, as we enter an era of

progressive specialization in the social sciences, the legacy of

anthropology as a four-field discipline is increasingly fragmented;

conversations and collaborative projects across the sub-disciplines appear

to be on the wane. The purpose of this conference is to examine the vitality

of four-field anthropology from our own place in time. Is four-field

anthropology still viable and productive? Are conversations across the

sub-disciplines still possible and desirable? What is the future of

four-field anthropology as both a research methodology and pedagogy for

classroom instruction?



To this end, the University of Michigan's Anthropology Graduate

Student Association (MAGA) invites abstracts for a graduate student

conference to be held on March 27, 2010 at the University of Michigan: Is

Boas Dead?! Four-Field Anthropology in the 21st Century. The conference aims

to generate substantive conversations about the place of four-field

anthropology by approaching several topics using methodological and

theoretical approaches from each of the sub-disciplines.



Papers for this year's conference can either take an interdisciplinary

approach utilizing multiple sub-disciplines within anthropology

or, alternatively, use any one of the four fields. Papers that use the

approach of a single sub-discipline will be presented on panels with

graduate students working on the same or similar topic from different

sub-disciplines. While this list is not exhaustive and other innovative

topics are certainly welcome, some suggestions for topics include:



·      Kinship, Gender, and Genomes



·      Activism and Advocacy



·      Interaction, Ideology, and Material Culture



·      Technology and Media



·      Sentiment, Memory, and Knowledge Transmission



·      Poverty, Nutrition, and Environment



·      Sexuality and Race



·      Art, Performance, and the Body



·      Disease, Death, and Destruction





Works in progress and creative approaches are encouraged. This conference is an

ideal opportunity to workshop research ideas and exploratory methodologies.





Although travel stipends will not be available for this conference,

accommodations (with Michigan anthropology graduate students) for Friday

and/or Saturday night(s) will be arranged upon request. Breakfast, lunch,

and dinner will be provided on the day of the conference.





Abstracts of no longer than 300 words should be submitted by February 5,

2010. Please go to http://sitemaker.umich.edu/maga/is_boas_dead__ to

register for the conference, submit abstracts, and obtain further

information. All other inquiries can be directed to:*

BoasConference at umich.edu*.
