Anthropological Association of the Philippines
and
Saint Louis University, Baguio City


Dear Colleagues, 

Please find below (and attached) the Final Call for Papers for the upcoming 36th UGAT Annual Conference in St. Louis University, Baguio City on Oct 23-25 2014, with the theme  “Trajectories of the “Anthropological” in the Philippines”.  We hope that you can share this information to your friends and colleagues who may be interested in participating.

36th Annual Conference
TRAJECTORIES OF THE "ANTHROPOLOGICAL" IN THE PHILIPPINES 
23-25 October 2014
Baguio City

This year’s annual conference shifts its attention from anthropology as a discipline to the “anthropological” as a stance.  The “anthropological” is invariably articulated in the problematics of “contextual analysis, mediations, and interventions,” broadly construed, in much of historical, social, economic, political, and cultural inquiries on the complexities of life across various times and places. In other words, the conference tries to locate the anthropological moment in the understanding and transformation of the vast lifeworld. It also acknowledges and assesses conceptual, methodological, and practical contributions of the “anthropological” deployed by practitioners in the fields of the natural and social sciences, law, philosophy, education, medicine, humanities, media studies, and so on, in the local and global contexts of the Philippines. 

We, therefore, invite individual paper, poster, short film/video, and panel proposals explicating how the “anthropological” is reflexively, ethically, and methodologically engaged in various fields of endeavour, for what purposes, and with what consequences.  Topical arenas include, but are not limited to, the following, with a particular inflection of the anthropological stance:
  • Seminal Figures: Anthropological Stance in the Philippines
  • Social Sciences
  • Natural Sciences
  • Philosophy
  • Law 
  • Arts and Humanities
  • Media Studies
  • Human Movement
  • Education
  • Social Work and Community Development
  • Folklore Studies
  • Philippine Studies
  • Business
  • Medicine
  • Missiology
  • Urban Planning
GUIDELINES ON ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS

  1. Abstracts should be 250 words and should be written in a style that is accessible to non-academic audiences. The topical arena(s) into which the abstract falls may also be indicated.
  2. Submissions should include the author’s name, institutional affiliation and complete contact information (e-mail address, telephone number, and mailing address).
  3. Please send abstracts to ugat.conference@gmail.com by August 25, 2014.
  4. Students intending to join the Student Paper Competition must indicate this in their submission. The winning entry will automatically be considered for publication in the Aghamtao, the official journal of UGAT.

For other inquiries, please contact the UGAT Conference Secretariat at + 63 0920-9823179 (Eizel P. Hilario) or  + 0927-2081829  (Hector Guazon) or ugat.conference@gmail.com.
