Durham, NH (University of New Hampshire, Durham)
September 17th - September 18th, 2010 The theme is partnerships between universities and indigenous communities. We seek to initiate a conversation among academics and community activists who wish to move beyond (or who have already moved beyond) the "expert" model, whereby academics "study" Native communities or Native "guests" make isolated appearances on campus. What obligations do universities have to local Native American communities? How can Native activists partner with academics to produce (and protect) new knowledge? What have been some of the challenges and rewards of academic/community partnership? Learn More

The U.S. financial crisis of 2008 quickly became a global economic crisis. In Latin America, the crisis was both reminiscent of previous crises but also different, in terms of transmission mechanisms, impact, and responses. Understanding the effects of the crisis, and the varied responses to it, calls for insights from multiple disciplines. Recovery, when it comes, will be shaped by the way citizens, governments, and international organizations understand the causes and consequences of the crisis itself.

Denver, Colorado
November 11th - November 14th, 2010 Registration Deadline: September 30th, 2010
In response to wide demand, NWSA 2010 builds on conversations that began in Atlanta at the 2009 conference. Difficult Dialogues II will explore a range of concepts and issues that remain under theorized and under examined in the field of women’s studies.
Although the problem of omissions, silences, and distortions in women’s studies has been analyzed for decades, too often feminist scholarship continues to theorize on the basis of hegemonic frameworks, false universals, and a narrow range of lived experiences. The legitimate terrain of feminist theory, inquiry, and politics remains contested.
The Difficult Dialogues theme builds on Johnnella Butler’s essays (beginning with her 1989 article in the Women’s Review of Books) about the contested relationship among and between black studies, ethnic studies, and women’s studies in the US academy. Butler pinpointed a reluctance to engage questions of gender and sexuality in black studies and ethnic studies, and a reluctance to engage with questions of race and class in women’s studies. - Exploring the Red Atlantic Conference
Athens, Georgia (University of Georgia)
November 12th - November 13th, 2010 Proposal Deadline: September 17th, 2010

Moreover, Europeans and colonists defined themselves by comparison with and in opposition to Natives. They even sought indigeneity in hybridized identities, as reflected in works of literature like The Female American and Susanna Rowson’s Reuben and Rachel. We invite submissions on any aspect of the Red Atlantic from its beginnings to 1900. Submissions may reflect any disciplinary perspective. Abstracts should be typed double-spaced and be no more than 250 words. They should be sent to INAS@uga.edu - 67th Annual Convention of the National Congress of American Indians

Amherst, Massachusetts (University of Massachusetts)
June 9th - June 12th, 2011 “GENERATIONS: Exploring Race, Sexuality, and Labor across Time and Space” The choice of “Generations” reflects this transnational intellectual, political, and organizational heritage as well as a desire to explore related questions such as:
* How have women’s generative experiences – from production and reproduction to creativity and alliance building – varied across time and space? How have these been appropriated and represented by contemporaries and scholars alike?
* What are the politics of “generation”? Who is encouraged? Who is condemned or discouraged? How has this changed over time?
* Is a global perspective compatible with generational (in the genealogical sense) approaches to the past that tend to reinscribe national/regional/racial boundaries?
* What challenges do historians of women, gender, and sexuality face as these fields and their practitioners mature?
To engender further, open-ended engagement with these and other issues, the 2011 conference will include workshops dedicated to discussing pre-circulated papers on questions and problems (epistemological, methodological, substantive) provoked by the notion of “Generations.” - Indigenous Peoples and Museums: Unraveling the Tensions
