Fellow anthropologists -- a colleague sent this notice to me. I forward
it for those who are interested ... seems like a good venue for those
involved in the "historical turn" in anthropology.

JOINT NEALE AND COMMONWEALTH FUND CONFERENCE, 1997
THE BRITISH ENCOUNTER WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, c 1600-1850
The Department of History at University College London will host
a major international conference on "The British encounter with
indigenous peoples, c1600-1850" in early 1997. This will be a
joint meeting of two established annual colloquia, the Neale
Colloquium in British history and the Commonwealth Fund
Colloquium in the history of the Unites States.
In addition to two key-note lectures, panels and workshops will
be organised around the following themes:
ecological history and the "disease frontier"
the commodification of land and goods
imperial and subaltern legal systems
cultural perceptions and ideological
constructions
the racialisation of native peoples
religion
gender relations
military and diplomatic relations
relations between slaves, indentured servants and
natives
Papers will be precirculated in order to facilitate discussion,
and a selection will be published. The Steering Committee of the
joint conference will welcome proposals for panel sessions and
individual papers by 1 January 1996. Proposals for individual
papers should be no more than a single side; a separate, brief,
curriculum vitae should be attached. It is anticipated that there
will be some subsidy for accommodation and travel. Panel
proposals, of three or four papers plus commentator, should
include the addresses and particulars of all participants.
Proposals should be mailed to either Martin Daunton or Rick
Halpern at Department of History, University College London,
Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom. Requests for
further information are best handled via e-mail:
m.daunton@ucl.ac.uk or ucrahex@ucl.ac.uk
