Conferences

We Invite Papers for our Forthcoming Conference:

ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCH IMPERATIVES:
THE NEXT GENERATION

11-12 April 2008
The Board Room, John Hume Bldg, NUI Maynooth

A conference sponsored by
The Anthropological Association of Ireland
In conjunction with NUI Maynooth, Queen’s University Belfast and Trinity College Dublin

The Conference Programme is now available.

This two-day conference presents papers on dominant themes and concerns emergent in current anthropological research. While the conference is open to all anthropology researchers, we are especially keen to consider submissions from two categories of scholars:

a). from postgraduates and scholars resident in Ireland working on any anthropological subject and aspect of the discipline.
b). from postgraduates and scholars not resident in Ireland working on anthropological issues pertaining to Ireland north and south. 

The aim of the conference is to forge links and potential networks between postgraduates and scholars resident in Ireland working on anthropology with researchers based more widely through a range of different networks.

In order to maximise discussion time, papers are restricted to 15 minutes and grouped in ethnographic and/or theoretical areas of similarity.

Please send any queries to Dr. Chandana Mathur at Chandana.Mathur@nuim.ie 

Contacts:
Conference convenor: Dr. Chandana Mathur (NUIM, Anthropology)
Co-organiser Dr. Fiona Magowan (QUB, Anthropology)
Co-organiser Dr. Andrew Finlay (TCD, Sociology)

The AAI normally runs two conferences a year, commonly a major conference and a one-day event.

Our main 2007 Conference was held on 11-12 May in Dublin:

The Globe in a Glass Case: Ethnographic Collections in Ireland

Our main conference in 2006 was on the theme of St Patrick's Day across the world, with presentations from prominent anthropologists working in several different countries.

We also hope to organise a one-day conference in Dublin on the theme of Minorities. Details of this event will be annnounced as they are finalised.

We anticipate two publications from our past conferences. These include a book based on the conference Social Thought and the Irish Question in the Nineteenth Century, and a book on Ethnographic Collections in Ireland.
