ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE WORLD
|
BRITISH MUSEUM, CLORE CENTRE, 8th to 10th JUNE 2012 The Royal Anthropological Institute is pleased to announce that a conference ‘Anthropology in the World’ will take place at the British Museum, Clore Centre, in conjunction with the BM Centre for Anthropology. The aim of this conference is to explore the manifold ways in which anthropology in its widest sense has been influential outside academia. It is aimed therefore at having a widespread appeal to the general public and to those anthropologists who are working in careers outside the university. We hope too that it will be of interest to academic anthropologists who are interested in the way that their subject is diffused and used in wider society, and to those students who are interested in applying their anthropological skills outside the academic arena. PROVISIONAL TIMETABLE:Call for Panels opens: 17th August 2011; Call for Panels closes: 28th October 2011 Call for papers opens: 11th November 2011; Call for papers closes: 16th January 2012.

Call for Papers  
The Call for Papers is now open. It will close on 16 January 2012.The Anthropology in the World conference will be held 8th to 10th June 2012 at the British Museum, Clore Centre. Please browse the full list of panels and decide where to propose your paper. All proposals must be made via the online form. Proposals should consist of a paper title, a (very) short abstract of <300 characters, and an abstract of 250 words. On submission of the proposal, the proposing author (but not any co-authors listed) will receive an automated email confirming receipt. If you do not receive this email, please first check the login environment (click login on the left) to see if your proposal is there. If it is, it simply means your confirmation email got spammed/lost; and if it is not, it means you need to re-submit, as the process went wrong somewhere! Proposals will be marked as pending until the end of the Call for papers. Convenors will then be asked to make their decisions over the papers proposed to their workshop by 23 January 2012 and to communicate those to the proposers, marking them up within the login environment (Cocoa). Papers which are neither accepted nor rejected, but marked for 'transfer', will then be considered by the Conference Committee to see where else they might fit in the conference programme. There is no guarantee that such papers can be re-housed. We aim to resolve all transfers by 24 February 2012. Other useful information for after you've proposed your paperPaper authors can use the login link in the menu on the left to edit their proposals. Co-authors cannot be added/removed nor can papers be withdrawn through this environment - please email Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. to do this. Pre-circulation of papersRAI has no rule about this; however many convenors are keen to pre-circulate completed papers. To facilitate this and save on loads of email traffic, authors can upload PDFs of their papers within Cocoa, which will then show as a downloadable file beneath their abstract on the public workshop page on this site. It is your choice whether you instruct your presenters to make use of this. Timing of presentationsConvenors are reasonably free to run their sessions as they like, but the norm is to allot each presenter a maximum of 20 minutes (for presentation and questions/discussion). The key is to respect the fact that many presenters have travelled a long way in order to be able to contribute and clearly need time to set out their argument. We are unable to represent specific intra-workshop timings in our programme. Delegates reading the conference book will have to work on the assumption that papers will be evenly distributed through the workshop. Clearly you may wish to amalgamate discussion time, but where possible please try to stick to this even distribution. Communication between authors/convenorsConvenor/author email addresses are not shown on the workshop pages for anti-spam reasons. However there is an in-built secure email messaging system. If you cannot work that, please email Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. to obtain relevant email addresses.
