CONF./CFP- Workshop on Anthropology of Socialist and Postsocialist Societies

Call for Papers

Anthropology of Socialist and Postsocialist Societies

New Directions in Post-Socialist Research

The Departments of Anthropology of University College London, and
Cambridge University, will host a workshop at University College London
on Monday, June 19, 2006 for anthropologists and other like-minded
academics, to hear and discuss papers on specific aspects of research in
socialist and post-socialist societies.

We anticipate part though not all of this year's workshop to focus on
socialism in the non-traditional areas, i.e., beyond the space of the
former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Though submissions are not
restricted to these areas, they will be particularly welcomed, in an
attempt to theorise the effects of Soviet post-socialism on the
non-Soviet socialist world.

Please send:

1) abstracts for papers if you are interested in presenting

Or:

2) your name and email contact info if interested in attending

To: Ruth Mandel at r.mandel at ucl.ac.uk

In the past, workshop papers occasionally have evolved into publications:

  - A special issue of Central Asian Studies, 1998, edited by Deniz
Kandiyoti and Ruth Mandel
  - Markets and Moralities: ethnographies of postsocialism, edited by
Ruth Mandel and Caroline Humphrey (Berg, 2002)

Limited funds may be available to subsidise students' transportation costs.
