While Butler’s analysis of the body and its potentialities emerges from considerations of life and its uncertain value, recent scholarship on the body reveals that it is a politically charged space where seemingly fixed concepts of identity, ethics, and ability destabilize from normative discourses. As such, the conference, under the theme of Renewing/Reknowing, will consider ongoing conversations of bodily materiality, agency, and how we respond and/or are called upon to respond to the bodies of others. More specifically, the conference seeks to explore ideas regarding the body and its agency to call into question and expand our current understandings of responsibility, or response-ability, towards others. Our intention is not to reinforce conventional or normative constructions of the body or ‘able-body’; rather, we wish to reflect on the body as a densely packed space for thinking about and appreciating inter-human and inter-species relationships, agency and vulnerability. The Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Association, on behalf of the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, invites graduate and upper level undergraduate students to submit short abstracts (250-300 words) for presentations that engage with these issues and related issues from a range of theoretical and disciplinary approaches. Presentations may choose to address the following questions: 1. What does it mean to be a responsible, or response/able, body? 2. How do we understand the body as a figure that produces knowledge, and is itself a figure produced through contextually specific knowledge? What are our responsibilities, or response/abilities, towards others, including nonhuman animals? 3. How can the body, and associated ideas about its agency and vulnerability, be utilized as a conceptual tool for thinking about the moral status of others, including racialized, feminized, and animalized others? 4. How can the body, as a source of pain, pleasure and shared experience, perform as a medium for deconstructing mind/body dualisms? 5. How does the body present challenges to normative and restrictive understandings of identity, ethics, and ability? In keeping with the spirit of interdisciplinarity that such questions require, we welcome creative and critical presentations from all disciplines, including papers, performances, and artistic projects Please send your short abstract as an email attachment to taylor.scanlon@ubc.ca or spela.grasic@ubc.ca by February 15 2013. Include with this abstract a brief cover letter that includes your name and contact information. All files must be in .pdf, .rtf., .doc, or .docx format. We also welcome proposals for non-paper based presentations (poster, performance, or other artistic work).

This conference will investigate labyrinths from diverse cultural, aesthetic, and theoretical perspectives. Whether literal or figurative, labyrinths are markers of intricacy that can evoke feelings of panic, bewilderment, and failure, or present opportunities for adventure and problem-solving. You might consider the procedural labyrinths that we encounter daily (mass media, bureaucracy, academia), as well as the spatial labyrinths that we inhabit (libraries, hotels, department stores, casinos). This conference asks: How has our understanding of labyrinths as artistic symbols and social realities changed over time? What kinds of human and nonhuman relationships do they mobilize in different contexts? How do we navigate complexity, dead ends, and repetition, in different fields of study? We invite submissions for individual presentations, panels, and creative projects addressing the concept of labyrinths from any disciplinary perspective. Topics include, but are not limited to: -labyrinths in literature, performance, film, television, music, visual arts -urban/rural planning, urban/rural spaces, architecture -diaspora, migration, globalization, crowds -maps, navigation, critical cartography -underworlds, vaults, catacombs, sewers -detective plots, espionage, puzzle narratives, trickery -systems, rhizomes, networks -games, comics, transmedia stories -digital labyrinths, big data, social media -archives, manuscripts, engravings -complex temporalities, dreamspaces, distorted realities -lostness/confusion; enlightenment/achievement -stasis, repetition, cycles, aporias Please send your 150-word abstract, along with a brief bio, to labyrinths2013@gmail.com by December 1st.]]> http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/gradstudents/2012/11/labyrinths_navigating_complexi.html http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/gradstudents/2012/11/labyrinths_navigating_complexi.html Thu, 15 Nov 2012 09:42:35 -0600 here.

Pleasant, Yale University Prof. Jennifer Denetdale, University of New Mexico The Palestinian scholar Edward Said once asserted, "Stories are at the heart of what explorers and novelists say about strange regions of the world; they also become the method colonized people use to assert their own identity and the existence of their history." So it is that Indigenous peoples have continued to tell their narratives in spite of, and against, the cycles of colonialism that have shaped and informed their histories, shaped contemporary Native nations and communities, and a sense of self. This seminar will introduce students to the ways in which oral histories have informed Indigenous Studies, its theorizing and practice. We will examine selected events or topics in Native histories and cultures and examine how oral tradition has made significant contributions and interventions in Native Studies. Following the historian Waziwatawin Angela Wilson, we place Indigenous oral traditions within the category of oral history. As Native oral histories have shown, stories that were and still are conveyed orally relayed cultural values, continue to be sources of wealth, provide a sense of renewal within community and families, relate ideal relationships between the earth and humans, humans and non-humans, impart sacred knowledge, and embody healing qualities. These stories, which were originally transmitted orally from generation to generation, have proven to be powerful enough to deal with the world we live in today. Oral histories also have been preserved through the written word and were the staple of disciplines like anthropology. Because of non-Indian interests in Native oral history, today, there exists an impressive body of oral histories that now lie in repositories such at as the Newberry Library archives. This seminar will include an introduction to some of the collections at the Newberry that include oral histories, including interviews. Based upon readings on oral history and history, memory and oral history, and the politics of archival collections, students will become familiar with uses of oral history, including how they are significant to understanding Native perspectives, how they have been used to illuminate the study of nation, citizenship, and belonging, and their on-going importance as tools of resistance and renewal for Indigenous peoples. Our readings necessarily include interdisciplinary approaches that speak to race and gender as components of studying and using Indigenous oral histories. Authors whose work we will engage include: Alyssa Mt. Pleasant, Jennifer Denetdale, Susan Hill, Keith Basso, Waziyatawin Angela Wilson, Susan Miller, Antoinette Burton, Ann Laura Stoler, and Gerald Hausman. We anticipate pulling interviews from manuscript collections, including those from the John Collier, D?Arcy M?Nickle, and Donald Parman collections, and considering published oral traditions found in rare books authored by Elias Johnson and David Cusick. TO APPLY Each NCAIS institution is entitled to one slot in the three-day workshop. Students may participate in the workshop as part of an introduction to critical methodologies in American Indian Studies. Students should apply directly to their NCAIS Faculty Liaison by February 4, 2013. The selection process of each member institution's participant is according to the individual program needs and existing protocols of the member institution. Participants will be reimbursed up to $500 for travel and housing will be provided. -- McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies The Newberry Library www.newberry.org/mcnickle/ncais.html www.facebook.com/ncais.mcnickle The Newberry Library Fellowships in the Humanities, 2013-14 If you study the humanities, the Newberry has something for you!

SELECTION PROCESS: Following the initial review of applications, up to 16 candidates will be short-listed for further consideration. Applicants will be advised by November 19, 2012 if they have been selected as one of the short-listed candidates. Each of the short-listed candidates will be assigned one of the four pre-determined debate topics (see below) and will be required to research and write, individually and independently, a 1,000 word position paper arguing in favour or against, as instructed. Reading lists for each topic will be provided, along with a position paper template. Position papers must be submitted by December 17, 2012. Short-listed applicants may be re-assigned a debate topic for presentation at the GRA debates, to ensure appropriate debate pairings. The eight students whose position papers make the strongest argument for their assigned position, and are chosen to receive the award, will be notified by January 21, 2013. GRA DEBATES: Award winners will be required to present their positions at the GRA Debates hosted by DFAIT in Ottawa in early 2013. At the debates, an additional monetary award of $1,000 will be presented to the students who make the most effective arguments in support of their positions in each of the four debates. The debates will be subject to Chatham House Rule and a report of the GRA Debates, including the position papers presented, will be published online by The Simons Foundation. Please note that attendance at the GRA Debates is a mandatory requirement of the award. Domestic travel, accommodation and meal expenses will be provided by ISROP, in accordance with Government of Canada Treasury Board Guidelines. 2012-2013 GRA DEBATE TOPICS* Debate #1: Membership in the Nuclear Suppliers Group Be it resolved that the objectives of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) would be best achieved by expanding the Group to include the states which remain outside of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Debate #2: Transparency and Freedom of Information for Dual-use Research Be it resolved that proliferation and security concerns should not trump transparency and freedom of information when publishing dual-use biological, chemical, or nuclear research, when there are likely to be positive benefits for humankind arising from such research (e.g. recent studies with biological agents that could have both positive and negative public health implications). Debate #3: Commercialization of Space Be it resolved that the commercialization of space will provide a net benefit to space security, in terms of the secure and sustainable access to, and uses of, outer space, and freedom from space-based and space-enabled threats. Debate #4: Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Be it resolved that given the recent progress that has been made in the advancement of nuclear disarmament, the international community needs to focus greater attention on putting in place nuclear non-proliferation measures to address proliferation challenges, including by non-state actors and states of proliferation concern. * Positions will be assigned to the short-listed candidates; Each topic will require arguments “for” and “against”. Disclaimer: The views and positions expressed through the GRA programme are intended to stimulate academic debates as part of an annual youth education partnership jointly organized by The Simons Foundation and ISROP; the themes do not necessarily reflect the views of The Simons Foundation, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, or the Government of Canada. ]]> http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/gradstudents/2012/09/20122013_graduate_research_awa.html http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/gradstudents/2012/09/20122013_graduate_research_awa.html Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:51:05 -0600 DEADLINE: July 31st, 2012 Health Science Inquiry – 2012-­2013 General Positions Eligibility + Instructions: Canadian graduate student who is currently studying, graduated in 2012, or was a member of HSI in the past. You may apply for up to 2 positions (please list order of preference) by submitting a copy of your CV and brief statement of interest (optional) to healthscienceinquiry@gmail.com Reviewers (~20 positions) Reviewers will be responsible for critically evaluating and commenting on submissions received by the journal. Each review is expected to be detailed, with comments being made directly to the manuscript itself (using the Track Changes’ tool on Microsoft Word) and on a separate assessment form. The goal is to provide feedback to authors and shape each manuscript for publication. Each paper will go through at least one round of reviewing (by 2 different reviewers), and may be subjected to a second round of revision if deemed necessary. Reviewers will report to the Managing Editors, who will be assigning papers and relaying all communication to the authors in a blinded fashion. Senior Editors (~7 positions) Senior Editors will be responsible for commenting on submissions (commentaries) after authors revise their manuscripts based on feedback from the editorial review board. All submissions at this point should be close to publication, so the nature of the comments provided by Senior Editors are meant to be brief in addressing any serious flaws that these papers might still have. Senior Editors will also be reviewing News Articles in a similar manner, which will be written by News Reporters. Proof Readers (1-­‐2 positions) Proof Readers will do a final read-­‐through of all submissions (commentaries, invitational pieces, news articles) and accompanying text being published in the journal. News Reporters (8-­‐9 positions) News Reporters will be responsible for writing informative pieces on new and exciting research being conducted by Canadian scientists on the topic of interest (for the 2012 issue, the topic will be Obesity and Diabetes). As the focus will be on Canadian researchers, news reporters may be asked to conduct brief phone interviews with scientists to profile their work in greater detail. Canadian initiatives (non-­‐research related) relevant to the topic of interest may also be written about. It will also be the News Reporters’ role to select relevant topics within cancer and researchers of interest to write about and discuss their thoughts with the rest of the team. Communications Associates (5‐6 positions) Communications Associates will be assisting the Division Manager – Communications in delivering all outreach/communications goals of the journal. Sponsorship Associates (2-­‐3 positions) The Sponsorship Associates will work with the Division Manager – Sponsorship to oversee the entire sponsorship process – including the creation of a sponsorship package and disseminating sponsorship information to all departments of interest (with the help of the Communications team). Layout Associates (2-­‐3 positions) Layout Associates will be involved with all aspects of designing the electronic publication of the journal. ]]> http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/gradstudents/2012/07/call_for_health_science_inquir.html http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/gradstudents/2012/07/call_for_health_science_inquir.html Wed, 18 Jul 2012 14:49:50 -0600 Friday, July 20, 2012 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. University of Winnipeg, Room 2M70 Subversive Fairy Tale Films Jack Zipes, world-renowned expert on fairy tales and author of The Enchanted Screen: The Unknown History of Fairy-Tale Films (Routledge, 2011) will screen three experimental feminist fairy-tale films that counter the dumbed-down Hollywood versions of fairy tales.
