Dear Ron
Were you maybe referring to the Society for Applied Anthropology
Conference - which will actually be held next April, but the submission
deadline is October 15...
If so, here is the announcement. Archaeologists are particularly
encouraged to participate.
HERITAGE, ENVIRONMENT & TOURISM
Meetings of the Society for Applied Anthropology
La Fonda Hotel, Santa Fe, New Mexico
April 5-10, 2005
The Santa Fe meetings provide an excellent locale for exploring the
closely related themes of Heritage, Environment & Tourism. In its own
right, heritage has become a major focal point for national, regional
and local development initiatives. As heritage is seen to have both
external and internal value, how can we participate in such areas as
heritage development and resource management while still defending the
rights of communities and other groups to control how their heritages
are represented? In a similar manner, the environment is increasingly
being viewed as a kind of "natural heritage," implying a strong
association between environmental conservation and human associations
with the environment. What does this tendency suggest in terms of
understanding and negotiating different stakeholder interests related to
particular acts of environmental decision making? How are different
ideals associated with natural heritage reflected in environmental and
natural resource management policies and practices? How do
environmental issues relate to health concerns? Finally, tourism, as
one of the world's largest industries, is increasingly being cast in the
terms of both cultural and natural heritage. What does the increased
popularity of such tourism "niches" as heritage tourism and ecotourism
imply for the conservation of local heritage practices and the
preservation of popular "natural" places? What are the roles played by
museums in the presentation of heritage and the promotion of cultural
tourism?
In keeping with the Society's interdisciplinary roots, the Program
Committee invites the participation of a wide variety of professionals,
including anthropologists, archaeologists, geographers, sociologists,
folklorists, public historians, tourism researchers and practitioners,
natural scientists working on environmental issues, museum
professionals, and other professionals in the areas listed below. We
encourage the active involvement of anthropologists and other
professionals who are employed outside of academia. Symposia and
individual papers are also invited and actively encouraged in all other
areas of applied endeavor, such as health and medicine, agriculture and
rural development, education, migration and resettlement, business and
corporate issues, language, urban and regional development,
community-based and participatory models for practice, applied research
methods and planning approaches, and diversity and human rights
initiatives.
Registration and proposal submission information is available at the
Society's website, www.sfaa.net. For additional information or to make
