13th EASA Biennial Conference Collaboration, Intimacy &#38; Revolution- innovation and continuity in an interconnected worldDepartment of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Estonian Institute of Humanities, Tallinn University, Estonia 31st July - 3rd August, 2014Deadline: 27/02/2014Convenors Prof.William Beeman (University of Minnesota) Dr.Pedram Khosronejad (St. Andrews University)In spite of the difficulties of the terrain, it seems that students of the social sciences, especially anthropologists and ethnographers, are increasingly developing research projects and carrying out fieldwork on different aspects of modern and contemporary societies in the Middle East and Central Eurasia. The recent long wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and the rest of MENA countries, and increasing political, religious, and ethnic clashes in the different regions of the Middle East and Central Eurasia, signal that more geopolitical changes in these regions are forthcoming. Under such present conditions of conflict and transformation, anthropologists have plenty of work to do, and may yet contribute to a better understanding of complex problems and their resolution. Given these considerations, we call for papers which discuss the role and future of anthropology and anthropologists of the contemporary Middle East and Central Eurasia(Russia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, China! ).This proposal is a special panel for EASA Network of the Anthropology of the Middle East and Central Eurasia(Russia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, China) (AMCE)For more information regarding submission of papers and also the conference please visit:http://www.nomadit.co.uk/easa/easa2014/panels.php5?PanelID=2979http://www.easaonline.org/conferences/easa2014/index.shtml
