Job Announcement for UCT Department of Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities Professor The University of Cape Town seeks an outstanding academic to lead the Department of Social Anthropology, which is one of the oldest and most prestigious departments in South Africa. Established in 1922, it has been the home to many distinguished scholars. The incumbent will be expected to take on the headship of the department for the next three years at least, and provide intellectual leadership, locating the work of the department within a South African context, the African continent and globally. Appointment will be as soon as possible. The Department has a strong record of teaching and research in social-cultural anthropology with a political-economic emphasis, focusing particularly but not exclusively on Southern Africa. Our present expertise is in medical anthropology, the anthropology of development, migration, ethnicity, identity, diaspora, gender and sexuality, violence and social justice, memory and narrative, and the anthropology of knowledge. We seek a leading scholar in socio-cultural anthropology with a strong research profile and an internationally recognised publication record; experience in academic leadership; considerable graduate and undergraduate teaching and supervisory experience (especially at the PhD level); strong administrative ability and experience; and a track record of participation in international scholarly networks, including the global South. |

Anthropology in Southern Africa, and beyond:
Connections & Transformations
The 2008 annual conference of Anthropology Southern Africa(ASnA) calls on scholars and graduate students of Anthropology to rethink the relationships between anthropological practices within the Southern African sub-region, the wider African context, and globally. We welcome paper proposals from local and international scholars and graduate students; the organizers are particularly interested in contributions that explore relations among and between anthropologists and “anthropologies of the South”, with reference to the 1997 debate in Critique of Anthropology, and more recently, to the World Anthropologies Network (WAN) (Ribeiro & Escobar 2006). |
