>>CALL FOR PROPOSALS: “ASSEMBLING CALIFORNIA CULTURES”
>>California American Studies Association Conference, April 25-27, 2008
>>Soka University of America, Aliso Viejo, California
>>
>>The California American Studies Association 
>>(CASA) invites proposals for its upcoming 
>>conference. Part of an effort to revive our 
>>Association, which has not held a conference 
>>since 2003, this conference draws its theme 
>>from the title of John McPhee’s Assembling 
>>California and will emphasize interdisciplinary 
>>approaches to California’s cultural 
>>landscape—past, present, and future. Special 
>>attention will be given to proposals that 
>>consider California as the nexus for study on a 
>>wide range of topics including but not limited 
>>to immigration, ethnicity, borderlands, 
>>imagined space, ecology and the built 
>>environment. Proposals reflecting 
>>multidisciplinary and collaborative inquiry 
>>into local, regional, transnational, and global 
>>issues are welcomed from community scholars, 
>>faculty, artists, activists, and students at 
>>all levels of study, from within California and 
>>other regions. CASA encourages panels that 
>>focus on how activists participate in 
>>"assembling” and “reassembling” California, 
>>especially mixed panels of scholars and 
>>activists that encourage dialogue and 
>>explicitly connect theory and praxis. In 
>>addition, at least one panel will be dedicated 
>>to undergraduates and one panel to secondary school educators.
>>
>>In the spirit of CASA's mission to promote 
>>collegial dialogue, disseminate current 
>>research, and stimulate further study, we 
>>invite submissions in all relevant fields, 
>>particularly but not restricted to the 
>>following themes (or any combination of them):
>>*Global, pacific, and transnational perspectives on California
>>*Narratives of California
>>*Ethnicity and race
>>*Scholar activism and/or public intellectuals
>>*Sexuality and gender
>>*Peace, non-violence, and anti-war movements
>>*Labor and working class cultures in California
>>*Immigration
>>*Marginalized voices in California Cultures
>>*Comparative colonialism
>>*Social ecology
>>*Human geography
>>*Early and contemporary historical periods
>>In addition to the fields and disciplines that 
>>are often the constituency of American Studies 
>>programs, approaches to the theme may include but are not limited to
>>*Visual arts
>>*Music
>>*Dance
>>*Performance
>>
