EXPLORING DIFFERENCES

The Fourth annual AGSA symposium theme “Exploring Difference” is intended to provide an opportunity for scholars, who conduct research in anthropologically related work, or other disciplines to expand on how the diversity that is part of the world environment impacts us daily. While this theme has a focus on the four sub-disciplines of anthropology – Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Social Cultural Anthropology- we encourage papers from other fields with anthropological themes or methodologies. Scholars from Area Studies, African American African Diaspora Studies, Biology, History, Communication and Culture, Comparative Literature, Drama, English, Folklore and Ethnomusicology, Gender Studies, Geography, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, Sociology, Theatre, and other relevant fields of study are encouraged to apply. 
We also encourage the submissions of papers or panels by undergraduate students as there will be a special panel reserved for undergraduate presentations. 

*Deadline for proposals: December 18, 2009*
 
Submissions of pre-organized panels are also welcome. Proposed panels will include three or four paper presentations or can be panel discussions. Individual papers will be assigned to a suitable panel. All papers should be no more than fifteen minutes in length (7-8 pages). Only one paper per participant is allowed. 

*Submission Requirements* 
• Individual proposals should include a 100-word abstract (including AV needs), and a cover sheet containing name, email address, and institutional affiliation 
• Panel proposals should include a session title, the name of a contact person for the session, abstracts for each proposed paper (including AV needs), as well as a cover sheet containing the names, email addresses, phone number and institutional affiliation of each participant 

All proposals should be sent via email as an attachment to Lisa Becker ([log in to unmask]) or Lewis Jones ([log in to unmask]) 
*This symposium is open to graduate and undergraduate students in any field*
