CALL FOR PAPERS
‚ÄúIDENTITIES AND TECHNOCULTURE‚Ä?
FRIDAY-SATURDAY, April 3-4, 2009
University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA
A 2-day conference about American culture and technologies that examines how new technologies dominate and define Americaness in the US and abroad. Key questions include:
How do social arrangements of new technologies shape aspects of ‚Äúidentity,‚Ä? including ethnicity, race, gender, sexualities, and class?
How does the diffusion of new technologies affect power relations?
How do human/machine relationships contribute to new expressive cultures?
The conference will feature three research strains: (1) Afrofuturism (how culture and technology frame African American experiences); (2) Identities and the Internet; (3) Technology and Culture before the Information Age. CESA/MAASA invites anyone interested in these and all related topics to submit proposals for 20-minute paper presentations, panels, or ‚Äúhands-on‚Ä? workshops.
WORKSHOPS will focus on and showcase an ‚Äúartifact‚Ä? (e.g., movie, Internet sites, TV show, documentary, comic book pages, radio broadcast, art exhibition, historic site). Immediately following the artifact experience, facilitators will lead a discussion. We invite proposals for any workshop ‚Äúartifacts‚Ä? and how an individual‚Äôs leadership of discussion would frame important questions. Workshops will serve as ‚Äúlaboratories‚Ä? about specific cultural instances of identities and technoculture.
We seek presentations that further the Center's aim of promoting scholarship on ethnicities and the arts and that reflect disciplinary and institutional diversity. We welcome ALL proposals interested in it. Graduate students are eligible for the Katzman-Yetman prize for best conference paper, which includes a $250 prize and review for publication by American Studies.
For each workshop, paper, or panel proposal, please submit:
• Name(s) of all participants
• Address, telephone number, and e-mail address for each participant
• Institutional affiliation(s), if any
• Title(s) of paper
• 250-word proposal
• 100-word biographical note for each participant

University of Iowa Center for Ethnic Studies and the Arts (CESA) and the Mid-America American Studies Association (MAASA) announce:
CALL FOR PAPERS
‚ÄúIDENTITIES AND TECHNOCULTURE‚Ä?
FRIDAY-SATURDAY, April 3-4, 2009
University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA
A 2-day conference about American culture and technologies that examines how new technologies dominate and define Americaness in the US and abroad. Key questions include:
How do social arrangements of new technologies shape aspects of ‚Äúidentity,‚Ä? including ethnicity, race, gender, sexualities, and class?
How does the diffusion of new technologies affect power relations?
How do human/machine relationships contribute to new expressive cultures?
The conference will feature three research strains: (1) Afrofuturism (how culture and technology frame African American experiences); (2) Identities and the Internet; (3) Technology and Culture before the Information Age. CESA/MAASA invites anyone interested in these and all related topics to submit proposals for 20-minute paper presentations, panels, or ‚Äúhands-on‚Ä? workshops.
WORKSHOPS will focus on and showcase an ‚Äúartifact‚Ä? (e.g., movie, Internet sites, TV show, documentary, comic book pages, radio broadcast, art exhibition, historic site). Immediately following the artifact experience, facilitators will lead a discussion. We invite proposals for any workshop ‚Äúartifacts‚Ä? and how an individual‚Äôs leadership of discussion would frame important questions. Workshops will serve as ‚Äúlaboratories‚Ä? about specific cultural instances of identities and technoculture.
We seek presentations that further the Center's aim of promoting scholarship on ethnicities and the arts and that reflect disciplinary and institutional diversity. We welcome ALL proposals interested in it. Graduate students are eligible for the Katzman-Yetman prize for best conference paper, which includes a $250 prize and review for publication by American Studies.
For each workshop, paper, or panel proposal, please submit:
• Name(s) of all participants
• Address, telephone number, and e-mail address for each participant
• Institutional affiliation(s), if any
• Title(s) of paper
• 250-word proposal
• 100-word biographical note for each participant

13th Annual Graduate Symposium in Romance Studies
The 13th Annual Graduate Symposium in Romance Studies held on March 7, 2009 at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities calls for papers relating to the theme "Performing Violence: Re-creating the ‚ÄúOther‚Ä? across Space and Ages". Abstracts Due: Nov 31, 2008.
13th Annual Graduate Symposium in Romance Studies
March 7, 2009 - University of Minnesota Twin Cities
Performing Violence: Re-creating the ‚ÄúOther‚Ä? across Space and Ages
Violence is often thought of in terms of destruction, trauma, and displacement. We will reframe the question by looking at what violence itself does or shows‚Äîits performance or execution. This symposium is centered first of all on how violence transforms the nexus of social relations, identity, and differences that constitute a particular community. The events and aftershocks of conquest and post-coloniality inform and reshape notions of cultural, ethical, and aesthetic standards by forcing the acknowledgment and incorporation of otherness into the domain of social discourses. Secondly, we consider how discourses‚Äîoral, textual, imagistic, linguistic, cinematic, performative, or other‚Äîoften enact violence as agents of socio-political, cultural, and/or ideological change. Rather than merely depicting the image of violence in a static, detached fashion, discursive violence may also serve as a rhetorical embodiment of the ‚Äúother‚Äôs‚Ä? confrontational position that exists simultaneously within and beyond the limits of normative representation.
Possible topics include but are not limited to:
rhetoric of ‚Äúotherness‚Ä?
counter-hegemonic discourses
identity, space, and nation in ‚Äúpost-modernity‚Ä?
theatricality and violence of representation
the politics of sacrifice and public spectacle
relationships of dominant/minority languages
baroque and neo-baroque manifestations of cultural difference and/or dissent
violence and metamorphosis
evolutions and revolutions
the bifurcated self, alienation, the self as ‚Äúother‚Ä?
vision and hearing: the limits of representation
Please send proposals for submissions, including your name, affiliation, contact information, paper title, and 150-word abstract to agsrs@umn.edu by November 31, 2008.

Young professional couple relationships in the city of
Dar es Salaam: Accounts and Reflections from the Field
Susan Mlangwa, Department of Sociology
‚ÄúIt was a study about them when I arrived in the field and I knew that was how it was going to stay. Me, listening to their life histories, asking questions, allowing them to explain and observing the way they do things etc. In doing this I was attempting to capture a closer to a full picture, of their lived experiences. Not only did I proceed well with this, I did so only to realize how much of a lifestyle they were trying to makes sense of is as much of a lifestyle I was trying to make sense of for myself! So‚Ķ‚Ķthen came the dynamics of focusing and refocusing on the researcher and the researched to be able to move forward‚Ķ‚Ķ‚Ķ..‚Ä?
(Susan’s reflection from the field).
In this presentation I give an account on how when a research topic in the field gets much interwoven with your own life. I share about the way I found myself a part of the investigation and the study became more of us then them. I reflect on what are the implications for such a development.

Hosted by The Institute for Global Studies and the University of Minnesota’s Human Rights Program
The right to organize and form trade unions has been recognized internationally for almost 100 years as a fundamental human right. How are US workers faring? Get a first hand account of the antiunion tactics employed by retail giant Wal-Mart. In the context of weak US labor laws do US workers stand a chance?
Carol Pier is the senior labor rights and trade researcher for Human Rights Watch. In 2007 Human Rights Watch published an investigative report, Discounting Rights: Wal-Mart’s Violation of US Workers’ Right to the Freedom of Association, authored by Pier to illuminate the anti-union tactics of Wal-Mart and the failings of the US labor law system. Pier will speak on issues facing US labor law, including weak statues and inadequate enforcement.

Telling Stories
The book Telling Stories by Jennifer L. Pierce, Mary Jo Maynes, and Barbara Laslett was published.
Telling Stories: The Use of Personal Narratives in the Social Sciences and History by Mary Jo Maynes, Jennifer L. Pierce, and Barbara Laslett
About Telling Stories: The Use of Personal Narratives in the Social Sciences and History
In Telling Stories, Mary Jo Maynes, Jennifer L. Pierce, and Barbara Laslett argue that personal narratives-autobiographies, oral histories, life history interviews, and memoirs-are an important research tool for understanding the relationship between people and their societies. Gathering examples from throughout the world and from premodern as well as contemporary cultures, they draw from labor history and class analysis, feminist sociology, race relations, and anthropology to demonstrate the value of personal narratives for scholars and students alike.
Telling Stories explores why and how personal narratives should be used as evidence, and the methods and pitfalls of their use. The authors stress the importance of recognizing that stories that people tell about their lives are never simply individual. Rather, they are told in historically specific times and settings and call on rules, models, and social experiences that govern how story elements link together in the process of self-narration. Stories show how individuals' motivations, emotions, and imaginations have been shaped by their cumulative life experiences. In turn, Telling Stories demonstrates how the knowledge produced by personal narrative analysis is not simply contained in the stories told; the understanding that takes place between narrator and analyst and between analyst and audience enriches the results immeasurably.
Praise for Telling Stories: The Use of Personal Narratives in the Social Sciences and History
"Each of these authors brings a wealth of insight and experience to this discussion of the distinctively illuminating arguments that can be drawn from personal narrative materials. Theoretically sophisticated and grounded in an intriguing array of empirical works, Telling Stories will be an indispensable resource for those interested in any variety of life-story research."
--Marjorie DeVault, Syracuse University, author of Liberating Method: Feminism and Social Research
"Telling Stories is an invaluable guide to making sense of personal narratives across two key disciplines: social science and history. This clear, thoughtful, and comprehensive guide to key issues and their interpretation--questions on agency, subjectivity, intersubjectivity, the complexity of narrative genres--is essential reading as we work to comprehend this key source in the production of knowledge."
--Faye Ginsburg, David B. Kriser Professor of Anthropology; Director of the Graduate Program in Culture and Media; and Director of the Center for Media, Culture & History, New York University
"Telling Stories provides an instructive and usable map of approaches to working with personal narratives. The authors' careful readings of a number of key texts are clear and graceful."
--Michael Frisch, University at Buffalo, SUNY
"Telling Stories supports the value of the narrative turn and offers well-grounded advice to would-be narrative historians."
--Arthur W. Frank, University of Calgary

The Policy and Review Council for Language, Literature and Arts is seeking graduate student representatives. The P&R Council meets twice per year: once on Tuesday, Nov. 4, from 3-5pm, and again in the spring (date TBA).
Dear fellow graduate students,
If you are interested in the inner workings of your graduate program and other related programs, the Policy and Review Council for Language, Literature and Arts needs you! This is an awesome way to learn about and directly influence the issues that affect grad students and programs behind the scenes.
The P&R Council meets twice per year: once on Tuesday, November 4, from 3-5pm, and again in the spring (date TBA), with an optional large assembly meeting on Wednesday, October 22, from 3-5pm.
Graduate School Deans Gail Dubrow and George Green are almost always in attendance at these meetings, and issues of curriculum and department-specific and graduate school-wide policies are discussed. As student representative chair, I am in charge of filling all 7 student seats on this council, so please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested in becoming a member (or alternate) of the P&R Council. Also let me know if you know any other students who might be interested.
Here's a link to the P&R council previous meeting minutes, if you're interested: http://www.grad.umn.edu/faculty-staff/governance/p-r_councils/Language_Literature-Arts/index.html

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute is Offering an Honorarium
The U of M's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) in an effort to encourage CLA graduate student involvement is offering a $1000 honorarium to CLA graduate students. OLLI is a membership-based learning community of older adults who attend seminars, talks, and other events. Application deadline for teaching a six week course in the winter: Oct. 20, 2008. Deadline for the eight week spring 2009 course: Jan. 5, 2009. Deadline for the eight week fall 2009 term: June 24, 2009.
The U of M's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) in a effort to encourage CLA graduate student involvement with OLLI, is this year offering a $1000 honorarium to CLA graduate students selected as OLLI course leaders. OLLI is a membership-based learning community of older adulty who attend seminars, talks, and other events organized by the institute throughout the year. Most OLLI instructors are volunteers chosen from academics to retired CEOs, writers or community organizers.
OLLI classes meet once a week for six or eight weeks and typically consist of a mix of lecture and discussion format. There are no tests and required readings are minimal. OLLI participants are typically highly motivated and well-educated older adults, and instructors should expect a high level of engagement from OLLI participants. Please visit the website at http://www.cce.umn.edu/olli/ for more information.
The application deadline for teaching a six week course in the winter is October 20, 2008.
The deadline for the eight week sprin 2009 term is January 5, 2009.
The deadline for the eight week Fall 2009 term is June 24, 2009.
I believe that leading an OLLI course can provide a unique learning and professional development opportunity for our graduate students that is distinctly different from what they encounter as graduate instructors in the undergraduate classroom. It is, of course, important that teaching in the OLLI program does not unduly impede students' academic progress and interested students will therefore need the endorsement of their advisor to participate in the program.
Contact Steve Benson, the institute's director at benso006@umn.edu or (612) 624-7847 if you have any questions.
The U of M's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) in a effort to encourage CLA graduate student involvement with OLLI, is this year offering a $1000 honorarium to CLA graduate students selected as OLLI course leaders. OLLI is a membership-based learning community of older adulty who attend seminars, talks, and other events organized by the institute throughout the year. Most OLLI instructors are volunteers chosen from academics to retired CEOs, writers or community organizers.
OLLI classes meet once a week for six or eight weeks and typically consist of a mix of lecture and discussion format. There are no tests and required readings are minimal. OLLI participants are typically highly motivated and well-educated older adults, and instructors should expect a high level of engagement from OLLI participants. Please visit the website at http://www.cce.umn.edu/olli/ for more information.
The application deadline for teaching a six week course in the winter is October 20, 2008.
The deadline for the eight week sprin 2009 term is January 5, 2009.
The deadline for the eight week Fall 2009 term is June 24, 2009.
I believe that leading an OLLI course can provide a unique learning and professional development opportunity for our graduate students that is distinctly different from what they encounter as graduate instructors in the undergraduate classroom. It is, of course, important that teaching in the OLLI program does not unduly impede students' academic progress and interested students will therefore need the endorsement of their advisor to participate in the program.

Requests for Funds
The Department of Americans Studies will be handling requests for funds for research and to travel to conferences differently than in the past. This change will be effectively immediately.
Dear Graduate Students,
The Department of Americans Studies will be handling requests for funds for research and to travel to conferences differently than in the past. This change will be effectively immediately. All students will be allowed to access up to $1500 in total from the American Studies Research and Conference Travel funding pool over the course of your graduate career. Any individual request will be limited to $500. Because these funds are limited, we continue to encourage you to apply for outside sources of funds as often as possible and to rely on this funding only when you are unable to secure outside funding. Good sources for outside funding include conference organizations and "best paper" competitions. Also, here are some University web sites that may offer conference travel funding:
http://www.gapsa.umn.edu/grants/travel.htm
http://www.cogs.umn.edu/awards.html
http://www.grad.umn.edu/current_students/funding/
http://gwss.umn.edu/graduate/scholarships.htm
http://www.international.umn.edu/funding/travelgrant/application.php
Please note: because we are dealing with a new financial system, we may have to slightly adjust the process for requesting access to funds. However, we have prepared a process (attached) for accessing conference travel funds because we know that many of you are traveling to present papers soon. We are working on a process for research funding, and will send that out to everyone soon. Our plan allows you to request funding as soon as the criterion for each allocation is met - you do not have to wait for a specific call.
If you have any questions about the new process, or feedback on how the process is working, please let Colleen know so that we can re-examine it. If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Elaine

Request to Access Conference Travel Funds
************************************************************************************************************************
CONFERENCE TRAVEL FUNDS: You may apply for travel to a scholarly conference to present a paper. The total funding available to you is limited to $1500 from the American Studies conference travel and research funding pool, and the maximum allowance to attend any one conference is $500. Students may apply for more than one conference, but additional awards will be made only if the maximum award has not been claimed. We expect, as is professionally appropriate, that no one gives the same paper at more than one conference. Criteria for conference travel funding:
1) are traveling to present research at a conference and have proof of acceptance
2) are in good standing
3) have not exceeded $1500 in total funding from the conference travel and research funding pool
In order to apply for conference travel funds please submit an application in hard copy to Marie Milsten Fiedler -- 104 Scott Hall -- including the following information:
1. Name, adviser and Student ID#
2. Conference Attending (include where and when)
3. Paper Title and paragraph synopsis
4. Amount requested (not to exceed $500)
5. ATTACH Proof Of Acceptance

Submitting Dissertations Electronically
Effective Oct. 2008, doctoral students who submit their dissertations electronically will no longer be required to submit a paper copy to the Graduate School, or pay the related $20 binding and shipping fees.
The GSSP staff is pleased to announce recent improvements to the Electronic Dissertation (ED) submission process, which has been an option for doctoral students since 2006. Effective October 2008, doctoral students who submit their dissertations electronically will no longer be required to submit a paper copy to the Graduate School, or pay the related $20 binding and shipping fees. Additional conveniences include on-line payment of the required publishing fee, and the opportunity to make their dissertations available via the University’s Digital Conservancy http://conservancy.umn.edu/dissertations/
To publicize the above changes, we recently sent an email notification to all currently registered doctoral students. In addition, we soon will be sending hard-copy notices concerning the latest ED submission improvements to your graduate program office and ask that you post these notices near/within your office to help us publicize the ED submission process. In that mailing you will also receive for your reference a revised version of the Graduate School‚Äôs ‚ÄúPreparing the Doctoral Dissertation‚Ä?, which includes information about formatting, submitting, and publishing the dissertation. An electronic version of this document is available at http://www.grad.umn.edu/current_students/forms/gs16.pdf
Thank you for your help with sharing the information about the ED submission process. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the GSSP office at gsdoc@umn.edu.
