Call for Panels and Papers - ASNA 2012 Conference |

Southern African Anthropological Futures: Opportunities and Constraints Southern Africa was, in many ways, a significant crucible for the early twentieth century construction of especially British Social Anthropology; and it remains a research area of significant concern for some leading contemporary anthropologists based in the USA and in various parts of Europe, whilst others from elsewhere are now beginning also to undertake research here. Within the region, the early disciplinary leaders’ global presence gave way to a longish period during which the few who were most active in the discipline tended not to publish extensively with the result that that presence declined – other that is than amongst those who left the region. Yet that is no longer the case and, despite the still relatively small cohort of anthropologists in the region at present, there is an ever increasing range of work being produced with much of it having a global reach, and there are ever larger numbers of postgraduate students completing dissertations and theses within the discipline at local universities. |

Dear Colleagues It was good to see everyone at the ASNA conference at Stellenbosch recently. This email is a preliminary one to keep everyone apprised of developments in ASNA. After a rather shaky start to the AGM, (held 04.09) and the inability to elect a new council, because we were not quorate, we were able to run the elections for the new council at the conference dinner. Thanks to those of you who submitted to pressure and were willing to step up to the plate as new council members. I will not comment on the form the elections took, especially as the
council members were elected in short, sharp order... suffice to say that we have ensured the election of an excellent council who can continue to ensure the stability of the association and the conference and ensure the longevity of the journal. |
