AnthroMob at EASA 2018: Call for new Conveners and Workshop Proposals

Dear AnthroMob members,

The EASA 2018 conference in Stockholm is fast approaching, and with it our = AnthroMob Network Meeting (Wednesday 15th August, 5-6.45 pm; location detai= ls will be confirmed shortly).

Among the important tasks on the agenda for our meeting will be following:

1- The approval of (a) new co-convener(s) for the AnthroMob network

2- The decision regarding our next AnthroMob Workshop 2019 (where, when, an= d on which topic)

1- As conveners of the network, we encourage you to think of proposing your= candidature to become a co-convener of AnthroMob. Holding such a position = is both rewarding and full of potential. Quite flexible and adaptable in sc= ope and content, the task of being an AnthroMob convener includes, in its b= roadest understanding, the coordination of AnthroMob-related events and act= ivities, be it online and offline.

2- Among AnthroMob events and activities, perhaps the most significant to d= ate is the convening of its biannual Workshop, which takes place in alterna= te years from EASA conferences (the next one will be in 2019). To have an i= dea of what a Workshop can be like, you can look at the previous one we con= vened in Cologne, which was jointly o= rganized with the Media Anthropology Network of EASA. We encourage you to s= tart thinking whether you would be interested in making suggestions for our= next Workshop, in terms of where, when, and on which topic it could be.

We thus call on expressions of interests regarding both convenorship (1) an= d/or workshop organization (2).

The deadline for sending your candidature and/or workshop proposal is July = the 31st (or earlier if possible). This will help us plan in advance and ma= ke due arrangements in view of our forthcoming meeting in Stockholm in Augu= st.

You are of course all welcome to contact us before to ask for more details = about what these tasks may involve and the possibilities they offer, as wel= l as to exchange further on your ideas and proposals.

You will hear from us again in the weeks to come, and up to our meeting in = Stockholm in August, with further details on network activities and events.

In the meanwhile, we look forward to receiving your candidature and your pr= oposals, and wish you all a good start of the summer!

Best wishes,

The AnthroMob Conveners
