SUNTA Invited Panels and Roundtables for the 2012 Annual Meeting of the AAA in San Francisco
The Society for Urban, National, and Transnational Anthropology (SUNTA) calls for submissions for Invited Panels and Roundtables for the 2012 Annual Meeting of the AAA in San Francisco, November 14-18, 2012. We weclome submissions relevant to SUNTA’s broad interests in the theories, problems, processes, and institutions of urban, national and transnational life. SUNTA appreciates that urban life and problems in the modern world are interrelated with national and transnational institutions, processes, and forces. SUNTA, therefore, particularly focuses on these interrelationships as they affect and are affected by the everyday social and cultural lives of people living, acting, and struggling in cities. This year’s Annual Meeting theme – Borders and Crossings – should be one of broad interest to SUNTAites.
Procedure: For your panel to be submitted to SUNTA for invited panel or roundtable status, the panel abstract and participants’ paper abstracts must be submitted directly through the AAA web site at www.aaanet.org no later than March 15. The website will be open for submission on February 15.
As in previous years, we welcome your informal consultation with the SUNTA Program Chair before and during the formal submission of your abstracts to the AAA, and encourage you to do so before March 15. However, also be sure to formally submit to www.aaanet.org by March 15. Feel free also to let us know what other AAA societies you would recommend for co-sponsorship of your invited panel or roundtable.
You are welcome to contact SUNTA Program Chair Nancy Abelmann with inquiries at nabelman@illinois.edu.
