AMERICAN NATIVE PRESS ARCHIVES:  the American Native Press Archives' website carries a number of features of interest to students and scholars in American Indian studies. These include a bibliography, hard-to-find texts, indexes to Native newspapers, and other features.
        The bibliography of Native American writers, 1772 to the present, aims to be comprehensive. 13,000 plus citations are annotated, and the bibliography is searchable by author, title, subject, time period, and tribal affiliation. This fall, First Nation writers from Canada will be added as well. The bibliography is open, that is, new citations are being added all the time.
        Native Writers Digital Text Project is another feature on the website. Introduced in summer, 2000, the project's purpose is to publish hard-to-find texts by American Indian and Alaska Native writers. The first digital texts that are available online are the poems of John Rollin Ridge and selected works of Charles Gibson. Ridge is the nineteenth-century Cherokee novelist, journalist, and poet whose verse has been out of print for over a hundred years. Gibson is the Muscogee humorist, folklorist, and historian of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries whose works appeared in newspapers and magazines.
In another activity, the archives is preparing indices to important Native newspapers and other serial publications. Among the first to go on line is an index to the complete run of the Cherokee Phoenix, the first tribal newspaper, published at New Echota, Cherokee Nation, from 1828 to 1834.
        Other features have appeared on the website over the past few years and still accessible, including those on Indian-Black history and Sequoyah, the inventor of the Cherokee syllabary. Currently, a chronicle of Indian removal is being prepared, including texts of contemporary news and other accounts of what later became known as the Trail of Tears.
Please come to www.anpa.ualr.edu for these features and other information. Comments and suggestions are welcome: contact

FIVE COLLEGE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Dissertation Fellowships

Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith colleges and the University of Massachusetts Amherst are members of the Five College consortium, which supports extensive academic and administrative collaborations among the campuses. The five campuses are located in western Massachusetts, each within 12 miles of the others. The Five College Fellowship Program provides year-long residencies at one of the member campuses for doctoral students completing dissertations. The chief goal of the program is to promote diversity in the Academy while familiarizing Fellows with the five institutions. The program's intention is to support scholars from under-represented groups, and/or scholars with unique interests and histories, whose engagement in the Academy will enrich scholarship and teaching.

Each Fellow is hosted within an appropriate department or program at Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College or Smith College. (At Smith, recipients hold a Mendenhall Fellowship.) Fellows are provided research and teaching mentors and connected through the consortial office to resources and scholars across the five campuses, which include UMass Amherst. The office also supports meetings of the Fellows throughout the year. The Fellowship includes a stipend of $30,000, a research grant, health benefits, office space, housing or housing assistance, and library privileges at all five campuses. While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation, most Fellows teach at the hosting institution, but never more than a single one-semester course. Date of Fellowship: August 31, 2010 to May 31, 2011 (non-renewable). Stipend: $30,000. Review of applications begins: December 1, 2001. Awards announced in March 2010.

NEWBERRY LIBRARY
FELLOWSHIPS IN THE HUMANITIES 2010-2011

The Newberry's fellowships support humanities research in our collections. Our collections are wide-ranging, rich, and sometimes a little eccentric. If you study the humanities, chances are good we have something for you. We promise you remarkable collections; a lively interdisciplinary community of researchers; individual consultations on your research with staff curators, librarians, and scholars; and an array of scholarly and public programs.

Long-Term Fellowships
These awards support research and writing by scholars with a doctorate. Their purpose is to help fellows develop or complete larger-scale studies that draw on our collections, and to foster intellectual exchange among fellows and the Library community. Fellowship terms range from six to eleven months with stipends of up to $50,400. Long-term applications are due January 11, 2010. Major long-term fellowship funding is provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and Dr. Audrey Lumsden-Kouvel.

Short-Term Fellowships
Ph.D. candidates and scholars with a doctorate are eligible for short-term travel-to-collections fellowships. Their purpose is to help researchers study specific materials at the Newberry that are not readily available to them elsewhere. Short-term fellowships are usually awarded for a period of one month. Most are restricted to scholars who live and work outside the Chicago area. Stipends are $1600 per month. New: We invite short-term fellowship applications from teams of two or three scholars who plan to collaborate intensively on a single, substantive project. The individual scholars on a team awarded a fellowship will each receive a full stipend of $1600 per month. Teams should submit a single application, including cover sheets and CVs from each member. Short-term applications are due March 1, 2010.

NATIVE AMERICAN & INDIGENOUS STUDIES ASSOCIATION / NAISA

The NAISA Council invites scholars working in Native American and Indigenous Studies to submit proposals for individual papers, panel sessions, or roundtables. All persons working in Native American and Indigenous Studies are invited and encouraged to apply. Proposals are welcome from faculty and students in colleges, universities and tribal colleges; from community-based scholars and elders; and from professionals working in the field.

PLEASE NOTE: The Council is limiting submissions this year to one proposed session per person.

Thus, each person can only be part of one proposal of any kind and the Council reserves the right to disqualify proposals that include individuals who are part of more than one proposal. Someone may, however, be proposed to both present or comment and chair in the same session. Also, the Council may recruit panel chairs and commentators from people on successful proposals. Finally, please note that all those accepted to the program must be a NAISA member, or join.

Go to naisa.org for more information about NAISA; go to http://naisa.ais.arizona.edu/ for instructions for submitting proposals & information about the Tucson 2010 Meeting. Only complete proposals will receive consideration. DEADLINE for proposal submission is December 1, 2009.

BLACK MAGNOLIAS LITERARY JOURNAL

Black Magnolias Literary Journal announces this Call to all interested parties to contribute to a special issue on "Indianess in the landscape of the Americas" to be published in a special winter 2010 issue of Black Magnolias Literary Journal, which is a quarterly that uses poetry, fiction, and prose to examine and celebrate the social, political and aesthetic accomplishments of African and African American peoples with an emphasis on Afro-Mississippians and Afro-Southerners.

This special issue will use literature to explore inter-cultural and inter-regional issues around the idea of "indianess." Work by writers engaged with "indianess" as a citizen of the first world/nation, as a person claiming native ancestry, or as a keeper of the "medicine" are especially welcome. We also invite work from American Indian Literature / Native American Studies teachers/scholars. Inquiries and submissions by email as a WORD or RTF attachment should be sent with a 50-100 word bio and a permanent mailing address to guest editor Chezia Thompson Cager c/o editor C. Liegh McInnis at psychedeliclit@bellsouth.net and send two hard copies of text with bio and mailing address to Chezia Thompson Cager c/o Maryland Institute College of Art, Department of Language, Literature and Culture, 1300 Mount Royal Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21217 by December 1, 2009. Copyright of all work remains with the authors and selected authors will be asked to sign a form giving the publisher the right to publish his or her work in this particular issue. Payment is one copy of the journal.

This Call acknowledges the historical inaccuracy of the linguistic English designation of Indian, as the people Columbus found trying to navigate to the East. What he found in the Caribbean were the fierce Carib people and other indigenous people with their own names. What first Spanish and then English settlers later "discovered" were indigenous people in this hemisphere, constituting what we call in English the New World but for which indigenous people had their own names in their own languages. This special issue seeks to show that as the first Americans, Indians were the original inhabitants of the New World with evolved confederacies, a high culture, and written laws: and that their adoption/inclusion of Africans who came here before the Atlantic Slave Trade and after, constitute the first real egalitarian governed societies in the New World. A renown Native American Studies scholar says, "the origin of the term 'Indian' for indigenous people in this hemisphere is up to debate and frankly George Carlin's riff on it - 'una gente en dios being collided into Indios' - is a good a guess as any."

Please submit, poems, stories, chants, songs, flash-fiction, articles analyzing Native American writing or critiquing their critics, and literary bibliographies for specific classes as well as film reviews to this issue of Black Magnolias Literary Journal that wants to broaden the defining discussion of the nature of "indianess" and how we identify it in ways other than, in Gerald Vizenor's words, the racist arithmetic that marks the English (or Spanish) accountability for both recording who was and who can be an Indian, as well as defining the cultural parameters of Indian behavior. We are particularly interested in the work and unsung voices of Black Indians. This special issue is meant to be a re-discovery of the language of "indianess" - so that literary works in indigenous languages and translated into English will be published together. We are also especially interested in literary work that, in Paula Gunn Allen's words, helps the reader to "understand how the construction of racial [ethnic] identity is a matter of cultural assumptions based on a number of traditional beliefs: whatever they happen to be - however they happen to work to define "indianess."

SOUTHEASTERN INDIANS THROUGH TIME: Land, Geography, and Environment
19-20 February 2010 / Athens GA

The Institute of Native American Studies at the University of Georgia ("UGA") invites proposals for a conference on the Native peoples of what is today the Southeastern United States, to be held at UGA in Athens, GA, February 19-20, 2010. Cheyenne-Arapaho filmmaker Chris Eyre will be a featured guest. He will be showing and discussing his documentary "The Trail of Tears," part of the series We Shall Remain on American Experience.

Proposals should be for presentations of 15-20 minutes concerning the tribal nations with historical ties to the Southeast in relation to one or more of the three terms in the conference subtitle. Emphasis should be on change through time. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: sacred sites; environmental ethics and attitudes; relationships to the environment through food, medicine, ceremony, and myth; relationship to flora and/or fauna; reactions to temporal and spatial changes in environment and landscape; climatic changes; recombinant neo-tribes and their ties to specific lands; the process of geographic naming and appropriation thereof; protection and management of tribal lands; legal battles for land and land integrity; the evolution from so-called "pre-historic" tribes to contemporary tribal nations; the effects of removal and dispossession; and historical reconstruction. No specific discipline is required. Proposed papers can be from any disciplinary perspective, including anthropology, archaeology, ethnobotany, history, landscape architecture, law, literature, and religious studies, among others. It is the organizers' hope to publish the proceedings as an edited volume.

Proposals should be no more than 250 words and should be typed and double-spaced. Selection will be based on quality, originality, and significance, as well as fit with other presentations. Deadline for submissions is December 1, 2009. Submitters will be notified by January 1, 2010. Although no honoraria will be paid, a limited amount of funds are available to assist with travel and expenses. These will be allotted on a competitive basis and will favor graduate students.

Proposals or questions should be sent to Professor R. Alfred Vick at ravick@uga.edu or by mail at 609 Caldwell Hall, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602.

FIRST WOMEN AND THE POLITICS OF LOOKING: Gender, Indigeneity and Representation

Please see the link below for the call for papers for an edited anthology on the representation, and especially the self-representation, of Indigenous girls and women in the arts -- in works of art, film, music, literature, or other forms of cultural production. The editors are particularly interested in articles that address questions of cultural imagination, resistance, recuperation and the complex politics of representation within the fraught spaces of cultural and geopolitical contexts that may be considered variously colonial, post-colonial and neo-colonial. Some of the questions that contributors might address include: How are Indigenous girls and women both traditionally and non-traditionally signified in either Indigenous or non-Indigenous cultural production? How do such significations vary in mainstream cultural products compared with avant-garde or experimental work? How do artistic and theoretical contributions by Indigenous girls and women intervene - if they do - in cultural understanding of gendered indigenous lives? Are the "appropriation of voice" debates still meaningful in an era of heightened production by Aboriginal women artists, film-makers, writers and theorists? How does collaboration between non-Indigenous and Aboriginal individuals or communities work in relation to the representation of girls and women broadly, and what are its cultural and political implications? How do the histories and genealogies of Indigenous representation affect contemporary cultural work? What are the implications of generic choices, including autobiography, ficto-criticism, fiction and varieties of non-fiction? How do Aboriginal women speak differences of class, sexuality, age, location and other forms of identification in ways that can be heard and understood across a collective cultural imagination?

The working title for the book is First Women and the Politics of Looking: Gender, Indigeneity and Representation, and information about the anthology and the CFP is available at http://www.h-net.org/announce/show.cgi?ID=171655. 500-word abstracts should be submitted by December 1, 2009, to any one of the following editors/addresses: Dr. Wendy Gay Pearson, Film Studies, University of Western Ontario (wpearson@uwo.ca) or Dr. Kimberly J. Verwaayen, Women's Studies and Feminist Research, University of Western Ontario (kjverwaa@uwo.ca) or Dr. Ernie Blackmore, Woolyungah Indigenous Centre, University of Wollongong (ernie@uow.edu.au) or Dr. Renée Bédard, Native Studies, University of Western Ontario (renee.bedard@gmail.com).

HOWLING FOR JUSTICE: CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON LESLIE MARMON SILKO'S ALMANAC OF THE DEAD

Contributions are sought for a collection of essays offering a wide range of critical responses to Leslie Marmon Silko's Almanac of the Dead (1991), from its socio-cultural, historical and political context, to its popular and critical reception. Given the critical attention afforded Silko's other novels - the publication of a casebook on the 1977 novel Ceremony (Oxford UP, 2002) and a recent collection on the 1999 novel Gardens in the Dunes (Pisa UP, 2007) - a collection focusing solely on Almanac clearly addresses not only the critical silences and hostility of some of the scholarly responses to the text, but also a real gap in the critical work on Silko's oeuvre.

Since the text focuses on inter-cultural and inter-national boundaries, conflicts, relationships and alliances, contributions from scholars outside North America are also welcomed, to reflect not only key textual concerns, but also the international impact of the text itself.
        A wide spectrum of responses to the text are therefore invited. Topics of interest might include, but are by no means restricted to:
         * New theoretical approaches
         * Environmental or ecocritical analyses
         * Interdisciplinary and/or 'non-literary' analyses
         * Comparative approaches
            * Critical and/or readerly responses to the text since its publication
         * The inter-national or trans-national
         * The Dead and/or death
         * Justice
         * 'Texts' within the text
         * Community
         * Home and/or homelessness
         * Story
         * History and/or the intersections between literature and history
         * Violence
         * Gender
         * Sexuality
         * Dreams and dreaming
         * Corruption
         * Illness and/or suffering
         * Oppression
         * Memory
         * Healers and/or healing
         * African-Native Americans
         * Maps and mapping
         * Borders and border-crossing
         * Land, land-use and resources
         * Enforced diaspora and/or removal
         * Power, and the workings of power
Please send abstracts of 250-300 words (as an email attachment) and a brief CV, plus any queries to Rebecca Tillett (r.tillett@uea.ac.uk) by Monday, 7 December 2009. Completed essays will be 7-9,000 words, including notes and works cited, and in Chicago style/format, with a final submission deadline of Monday, 28 June 2010.

CENTERING ANISHINAABEG STUDIES: UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD THROUGH STORIES
Editors: Jill Doerfler, Heidi Kiiwetinepinesiik Stark, Niigonwedom James Sinclair

Describing how to understand Anishinaabeg cosmology and epistemology in his 1976 book Ojibway Heritage, Basil Johnston writes that "it is in story, fable, legend, and myth that fundamental understandings, insights, and attitudes toward life and human conduct, character, and quality in their diverse forms are embodied and passed on" (7). As scholar Gerald Vizenor remarks in a 1992 interview with Laura Coltelli: "You can't understand the world without telling a story. There isn't any center to the world but story" (156).

Responding to calls for tribally-centered critical approaches in American Indian Studies/Native Studies, this critical anthology focuses on Anishinaabeg (Ojibwe/Chippewa) Studies and the ways in which stories might serve as a center for the field. We invite engagement with and employment of the term "story" in its multifaceted meanings. Simply put, the essays in this book will explore and engage with the following questions:

• Can the field called "Anishinaabeg Studies" use "story" as a center? How?
• How can stories serve as a methodology within the field of Anishinabeg studies? What kinds of questions can be posed/answered through the use(s) of story?
• What are the parameters of an Anishinaabeg "story" and how does it participate in ongoing Anishinaabeg knowledge production?
• What political, ceremonial, and/or intellectual roles does "story" play in the articulation and interests of Anishinaabeg communities?
• In the current climate of globalization, what are the roles of "story" in moderating multi-dimensional struggles for tribal sovereignty, "traditionalism," and cultural innovation?
• How might the knowledge embedded within stories be applied to 1) understand the complexities contained within written/oral histories 2) structure social and political institutions, and/or 3) address contemporary challenges facing Anishinaabe communities.

Essays from a wide array of disciplines (including but not limited to history, law, English, anthropology, ecology, linguistics, astronomy, and geography) are desired. Work may consist of an evaluation of practiced critical approaches in the field or exemplify a new approach through an analysis of an Anishinaabeg-authored "story." Contributors are encouraged to examine "texts" in their culturally-specific historical, political, and subjective contexts. Besides conventional, scholarly essays, provocative work that combines Anishinaabeg storytelling and critique are also welcomed. Due to the nature of the anthology, essays authored by Anishinaabeg are encouraged.

Abstracts must be between 500-750 words and be e-mailed by December 15, 2009. Please include a one-page curriculum vitae/bio. Once accepted, completed essays will be between 5000-7500 words in length, and contributors are asked to keep this in mind.

Please e-mail all submissions to hstark@d.umn.edu under the subject line: "Centering Anishinaabeg Studies." Questions may be emailed to the editors at: Jill Doerfler (The University of Minnesota - Duluth, doerflj@umn.edu), Heidi Kiiwetinepinesiik Stark (The University of Minnesota - Duluth, hstark@d.umn.edu), Niigonwedom James Sinclair (The University of British Columbia, niigon@interchange.ubc.ca).

JOURNAL OF TRANSNATIONAL AMERICAN STUDIES
Charting Transnational Native American Studies: Aesthetics, Politics, Identity

The special forum of JTAS (Journal of Transnational American Studies) invites contributions pertaining to the topic: "Charting Transnational Native American Studies." Deadline for full consideration: extended deadline to December 15, 2009. Guest-edited by Philip J. Deloria (University of Michigan), Hsinya Huang (National Sun Yat-sen University), John Gamber (Columbia University), and Laura Furlan (University of Massachusetts, Amherst).

In the context of an increasingly transnational globe, the master narratives of time and place have been open to various rethinkings. In hemispheric American indigenous cultures, central coordinates for the construction of individual and collective identity have emerged around spatial notions of homeland, territory, migrancy, diaspora, and removal. Equally critical have been complex understandings of layered, recurrent, multidimensional, and sacred time. These ways of thinking space and time have originated from multiple contexts, including tribal, cross-tribal, hemispheric and global exchange. They demonstrate multiple and longstanding forms of both tribal-national and transnational orientation. At the same time, methodological borderlines between inquiries into cultural impact, identity and politics, on the one hand, and analyses of literary, aesthetic and stylistic qualities, on the other, are also being redrawn, diversifying and complicating a discussion concerning the current place of Native Studies at large. These conversations are themselves explicitly transnational in nature--though perhaps not always visible in that form. This forum seeks to present work in transnational Native American studies and investigate the transnational dimensions of the field itself. Nationalistic approaches, which have come to the fore in a number of areas of Native American studies, have clear pragmatic importance for American Indian people and nations. Intellectually productive as well, such approaches nonetheless run the risk of oversimplifying complex tribal identities, erasing broad networks of interaction and community, and smoothing indigenous histories that have always included transnational elements. How might we think about the relation between nation and sovereignty, and how do we consider those concepts in relation to "post-sovereignty" arguments that position them within a colonizing Western frame? What are the critical genealogies of indigenous nationhood? More important, what does it mean to put such questions in a transnational frame - not only in terms of the global flow of people, ideas, and capital, but also in relation to the political and aesthetic situations defined by particular tribal nations? In what ways have indigenous conceptions of nationhood--and the movements between nations - challenged and complicated European and other colonial understandings of the nation? What kinds of advantages and disadvantages inhere in comparative global approaches to indigeneity, particularly in relation to tribal and national narratives that have been central to much of American Indian studies? How do indigenous American artistic expressions establish, reshape, challenge, and/or complement the formation of communities and collective cultural and literary entities? How, in these processes, do longstanding notions of homeland and nation interact with new modes of community formation and literary expression, drawn across spatial and temporal borderlines?

This special forum seeks to address some of the issues surrounding place and mobility, aesthetics and politics, identity and community, and the tribal and the global indigenous, all of which have emerged in the larger frameworks of transnational American Studies. We wish to contextualize Native American literatures and histories not only across national boundaries but also across the disciplines of literary and cultural studies. The editors of Journal of Transnational American Studies thus invite contributions that explore the consequences of transnationalism for Native American Studies, American Studies, and for the field of literary and cultural criticism in general.

FACING EAST: LITERATURES OF INDIGENOUS NEW ENGLAND
Proposed special issue of SAIL

Margo Lukens, University of Maine (Margaret_Lukens@umit.maine.edu)
Siobhan Senier, University of New Hampshire (ssenier@unh.edu)

Indigenous New England remains under-represented and under-theorized across the many disciplines of Native American Studies. In the study of literature, just about the only Native writers from this region to get any acknowledgement are the earliest ones (e.g., the obligatory Occom and Apess, who appear in many anthologies and syllabi). The tendency to weight literary study toward such early figures only reinforces the idea that Indians "vanished" from the northeast long ago.

In fact, New England's identity as a region is predicated on that very myth. Local tourism makes gleeful use of "Indian" place names and countless memorials to apocryphal chiefs who hurled themselves off cliffs. In turn, the United States imagines itself as a community by borrowing from this image; with Indians effectively out of the northeast, it is that much easier to install the Puritans as our "first" Americans.

We therefore seek papers and contributions that will illuminate the rich and continuous literary output of Native people in New England -- from 1930s newspapers like The Narragansett Dawn, to contemporary writers like Abenaki poet Cheryl Savageau and Mohegan historian/novelist Melissa Tantaquidgeon Zobel, to the brand-new Passamaquoddy-Maliseet dictionary, full of sentences that tell stories. We hope to privilege pieces that focus on literature from the 20th century and forward (although we certainly welcome work on earlier periods as well); and we aim to place Native community-based scholarship alongside more conventionally university-based research.

The struggles of New England's indigenous people for recognition (federal and otherwise) are as complicated today as ever. The recent Supreme Court ruling in Carcieri v. Salazar, which held that the Narragansett cannot put valuable lands in trust because they were not acknowledged as a nation by the federal government at the time of the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act, is a case in point.

The new scholarship in indigenous literary nationalisms has had many salutary results. We would like, however, to use that scholarship as an opportunity to keep deconstructing, reconstructing, complicating and interrogating the very idea of a "nation." In other words, this is a good time to start looking in earnest at the literatures of peoples who might not always have federal recognition, reservations, or a particular blood quantum--all colonial constructs that constrain, even as they enable, nationhood. Indigenous New England, and its literature, is promising terrain in which to have such conversations.

Deadlines: Title and 250-word abstract/paper proposal by 30 December 2009; final essays by June 30, 2010.

POST-COLONIAL DISCOURSE, ETHNICITY, AND RACE IN THE UNITED STATES: THE PAST AND THE PRESENT
May 13 - 14, 2010 / University of Warsaw, Institute of English Studies

We are proud to announce a conference that addresses a changing relation between the discourse(s) on post-colonialism and ethnicity/race in the United States. Our special key-note speaker is Professor Gerald Vizenor.

If the 1950s witnessed the forging of a link between anti-colonial struggles world-wide and ethnic movements in the United States, intellectuals of later decades have challenged what they perceived to be a simple way of relating race and ethnicity in the States to the global post-colonialism. Nowadays scholars from various ethnic groups in the United States either suppress commonalities between post-colonialism and ethnicity/race or enthusiastically endorse postcolonial studies as offering a useful paradigm to discuss political dominance, victimization and resistance to hegemonic power.

Enthusiasts argue that post-colonial discourse provides a way out of American exceptionalism, encourages seeing parallels in the world outside the United States and leads to the strengthening of global solidarity, coalition building and comparative research. They point out that both post-colonial and ethnic studies have resorted to similar concepts such as double-consciousness, multiple identities, hybridity and/or contamination, and a "third space" that is neither essentialist, nationalist culture zone nor assimilation. Enthusiasts frequently use post-colonial studies to theorize the cultural space of exchange and resistance between the centre and the periphery, and among different ethnic groups.

Skeptics point out that applying post-colonial discourse in ethnic studies may lead to reductionism and offer a faulty perspective on ethnic identity. They warn against the danger of a hasty enunciation of the end of ethnicity in an inexorable victory of hybridity and point out that a principled rejection of ethnic difference, congruent with a post-ethnic paradigm, is at odds with an everyday practice in which racial and ethnic differences still matter.

We welcome submissions from the field of American Studies thus encourage presentations which would use insight from political social, religious, cultural, media and literary studies. We invite papers that refer both to earlier historical periods and those that are interested in diagnosing the present moment. Theoretical analyses and case studies are equally welcome. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:
        * Post-colonial and ethnic identities
        * Post-colonialism and ethnic histories
        * Re-writing national narratives
        * Post-colonialism and/or ethnic criticism
        * the problematics of the term "post-colonialism"
        * Diaspora spaces and communities
        * Nationalism/transnationalism/tribalism/sovereignty
        * Domestic and (neo)colonial violence
        * Decolonization and resistance
        * Resistance to (neo)colonial discourse (law, politics, economy, medicine)
        * Post-colonial bodies
        * Border studies

Please send an abstract of 400 words by 10 January 2010 to Dr. Ewa Luczak e.b.luczak@uw.edu.pl or Dr. Joanna Ziarkowska j.ziarkowska@uw.edu.pl.
