This is a reminder that submissions to the Material Culture, Craft & 
Community: Negotiating Objects Across Time and Space Conference are due 
OCTOBER 10, 2010.

20-21 May 2011
University of Alberta
Material Culture Institute

This interdisciplinary conference will explore the varied expressions of 
craft -- material, cultural, social -- in past and present societies. 
Craft practice has a rich history and remains vibrant today, sustaining 
communities while negotiating cultures. Craft-made goods were, and are, 
created for domestic or institutional use, for local or international 
markets. They express gender roles and cultural aspirations, sustain 
economies, and express aesthetic values and skills of making. Craft 
practice has long defined communities and groups, and continues to do so 
in the midst of global trade networks. Moreover, the flow of ideas, 
goods, and peoples animate the making, circulation, and meaning of craft 
goods. These and other issues will be addressed over the course of the 
conference.

Keynote Speaker:
Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, Harvard University

Confirmed Speakers:
Eiluned Edwards, London College of Fashion, UK

Edward S Cooke, Yale University
Janice Helland, Queen's University, Kingston
Laura Peers, Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford
Ruth Phillips, Carleton University, Ottawa
Call for Papers:
Paper proposals and full panels are invited on topics ranging from the 
history to present practice of craft, issues of production, use, and 
trade of craft, and the construction and interpretation of the meanings 
of craft, in the context of personal interactions, local communities, 
national groups, modes of international circulation, and forms of 
cultural context.

Graduate students are encouraged to apply with either single papers or 
panels. Three graduate proposals will be selected for a special graduate 
plenary session, in addition to those papers selected for concurrent 
sessions.

Proposals are invited from all disciplines. The proposal package should 
include a paper summary of 150-200 words and a two-page CV. Proposals 
must be received by 10 October 2010.* The program will be announced 1 
November 2010. Registration will open on 15 December 2010.
