Abstracts will be reviewed when received by the deadline and chosen authors notified in a timely manner. Completed papers will be due by Monday, March 1st, 2010.

CFP: Centering Anishinaabeg Studies Book
Call For Papers:
Centering Anishinaabeg Studies: Understanding the World Through Stories
Editors: Jill Doerfler, Heidi Kiiwetinepinesiik Stark, Niigonwedom James Sinclair
Describing how to understand Anishinaabeg cosmology and epistemology in his 1976 book Ojibway Heritage, Basil Johnston writes that “it is in story, fable, legend, and myth that fundamental understandings, insights, and attitudes toward life and human conduct, character, and quality in their diverse forms are embodied and passed on” (7). As scholar Gerald Vizenor remarks in a 1992 interview with Laura Coltelli: “You can’t understand the world without telling a story. There isn’t any center to the world but story” (156).
Responding to calls for tribally-centered critical approaches in American Indian Studies/Native Studies, this critical anthology focuses on Anishinaabeg (Ojibwe/Chippewa) Studies and the ways in which stories might serve as a center for the field. We invite engagement with and employment of the term “story” in its multifaceted meanings. Simply put, the essays in this book will explore and engage with the following questions:
Call for Papers: Law and Lit at CUNY — 2010
Kevin Maillard at Faculty Lounge has posted a call for papers for CUNY’s Law and Literature symposium. As the organizers and hosts of the only (so far) symposium on American Indian Law and Literature (our 2007 Indigenous Law Conference), and contributors to the only (so far) special symposium issue of a law journal dedicated to American Indian Law and Lit (American Indian Law Review’s volume 33, issue no. 1), we sincerely hope to see some American Indian law and lit papers at CUNY.
NGĀ PAE O TE MĀRAMATANGA INTERNATIONAL INDIGENOUS CONFERENCE 2010

Mātauranga Taketake: Traditional Knowledge
|
This conference addresses the question of difference. What are the costs to communities and society of failing to understand others? Can we reflect on our own assumptions and practice, our shared past and present and imagine and pursue a better future for individuals and the greater collective? The conference will provide opportunities to discuss strategies for engaging, understanding and accommodating difference in order to build relationships that address social, economic, resource, and environmental risks associated with failure to understand sufficiently the differences among indigenous and non-indigenous communities and societies. Given the diversity present in those attending the conference there will be many opportunities to learn from diverse contexts around the world about efforts to engage across the inter-face between indigenous and non-indigenous communities, across all disciplines, from individuals to societies, governments and nations. The intention is to move beyond identifying and understanding problems toward creative solutions that meet the needs of present and future generations. The conference provides the opportunity to develop a broader understanding by seeing and hearing things outside our own scope, to make connections across boundaries, and to formulate partnerships across new interfaces.
