8:00am-6:00pm

 The Department of Anthropology and The Student Association of Graduate
Anthropologists at the University of California, Riverside invites you to
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 *Approaching 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
complementary 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

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