Call for Papers

*Approaches to Change and Continuity:* *Life Histories of Ideas*

February 6, 2010

University of California, Riverside



Highlander Union Building (HUB) – Third Floor

8:30am-5:00pm



Abstract Submission Deadline: January 8, 2010



The Department of Anthropology and The Student Association of Graduate
Anthropologists at the University of California, Riverside invites you to
submit your abstracts for the 30th Annual James C. Young Colloquium.  The
colloquium, to be held on February 6, 2010, is an excellent opportunity to
present your ideas and to engage in a dialogue with students and faculty
from a variety of disciplines, departments, and campuses.



The theme of the 30th Annual James C. Young Colloquium is *Approaches to
Change and Continuity:* *Life Histories of Ideas*. Through interaction with
ideas, and the places, objects, and people they embody, human beings
generate temporal continuity while simultaneously creating and recreating
meaning. As ideas are evoked and reinterpreted by individuals, multiple
diverse meanings are constructed. A life history of an idea is a
biographical approach that elucidates processes of change and continuity and
reveals ancient and modern thoughts, places, experiences, and people.
Engaging an idea from a life-historical perspective explores the connections
between places and times, humanizes the past, and explores social impacts on
the past and present. Life histories are forums for cross-theoretical and
interdisciplinary discussion, and benefit from multiple approaches offering
complimentary insights. The Student Association of Graduate Anthropologists
welcomes submissions that explore topics through a life-historical lens from
undergraduate and graduate students of all disciplines

Please submit abstracts of no more than 250 words, using the attached form,
in WORD.doc format by *January 8, 2010 *to the James Young Committee at
JamesYoungColloq at gmail.com *Electronic applications only please!*

*Equipment:* Projectors and laptops for PowerPoint will be provided in each
conference room (Please make sure your Powerpoint presentation is compatible
with versions 97, 2003, or 2007 for PCs or version 2008 for Mac).  Most
memory media should be supported, but it is always a good idea to bring your

For further Information, please direct all inquiries or questions to the
committee at JamesYoungColloq at gmail.com.
