Regional SBA Writing Affiliation Groups – In celebration of the 15 year anniversary of the Society of Black Archaeologists in 2026, we are organizing writing groups to celebrate our collective power in knowledge production, while at the same time gathering across different regions to curate the next era of SBA scholarship. We hope to engage with members from across the writing spectrum reaching students, emerging scholars, advanced career writers, and those new to the writing process in the world of archaeology. This is about building regional hubs to write together and generate something new to mark this milestone in SBA history! Launching in Fall 2024.

NINO Annual Meeting | Call for Papers

By

On September 16, 2024

In CFP

 

The NINO Annual Meeting offers an opportunity for advanced students and researchers of the Near East (ancient to the early modern) in the Netherlands to meet and exchange ideas about ongoing and envisioned research projects. The event is co-organized by the Netherlands Institute of the Near East (NINO) and an alternating host institution. This year the meeting is hosted by the University of Groningen, on the topic: “Heritage and politics in the Middle East: Historical Perspectives.”

The study of the Near East has historically been entangled with politics, from those of early modern states and empires, to those of foreign institutes, universities, and museums. This annual meeting focuses on heritage politics of the Middle East from a historical perspective. How have the studies of historical sources, archaeological remains, and texts from the past, been involved with early modern state formation, (de)colonization, cultural diplomacy, economic policies, memory practices? How was this involvement received by people living in the Middle East, and heritage institutions abroad? And today, how is it represented in the curricula of degrees focusing on the Middle Eastern past? How does it influence fieldwork and archive practices?

The committee is currently accepting 20 min. papers on studies pertaining to this topic. In addition, they invite 5 min. research introductions on any ongoing and envisioned research on the Near East. Junior scholars (MA, PhD) are particularly welcome to apply.

Please register via email if you wish to attend, present during the lightning session, or present a longer paper on the topic of Heritage and Politics.

Please include the following information:

  • Surname
  • Name
  • Title
  • Affiliation
  • E-mail address
  • I would like to attend and give a 20’ paper
    • Title of paper
  • I would like to attend and present a 5’ presentation in the lightning session
    • Title of lightning session
  • Abstract (250 words)

Please register by email to ninoconf25@gmail.com by November 1, 2024.
