Dear Fellow Graduate Students,
This is a call for papers for the Fall 2012 Medusa Seminar, which will take place on Friday, November 2nd from 9:30 to 12:30 am in the 2nd floor conference room. Mark your calendars!!
In case you've never been to a Medusa event, it is a seminar series put on by UofT Anthropology grad students, for each other. It is meant to provide the opportunity for us to present our work to our peers, and is an excellent opportunity both to solicit their feedback and to practice formal presentation skills. As you all know, there are a number of important anthropology conferences coming up, so the November Medusa seminar is especially intended to provide an opportunity for presenters to practice their presentations. That being said, you are welcome to submit an abstract and to present your work even if you are not planning to present at one of of the upcoming conferences.
There a few changes to the format of Meduse this year. The November event will feature panel presentations on specific themes as opposed to sub-disciplines. So, there is the potential to have papers from different disciplines on the same panel, and you can choose to attend the panels which are of interest to you.
Please submit your abstracts electronically to Kate Rice (kathleen.rice@mail.utoronto.ca) by Wednesday October 17th. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words. Finally, we need moderators too, so if you are interested in facilitating a panel, please let either Kate or Mathew Gagne know.
Also, the format for the Spring 2013 Medusa seminar will be substantially different from previous years. It will take place on Thursday the 21st of March and will be an all-day colloquium. Details to follow.
Send your papers! We know who you are and where to find you, and will totally guilt-trip you and call on favours if you don't step up to the plate (this last sentence delivered with either a saucy wink or tearful puppy-dog eyes, depending on which you're more susceptible to).
Your devoted Medusa Coordinators,
-Kate Rice & Mathew Gagne
