THE CONFERENCE
The CANADIAN ANTHROPOLOGY SOCIETY invites you to participate in its 23rd=20
Annual Meeting, to be held in conjunction with the Learned Societies=20
Conference at Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario, 26 - 28 May=20
1996.=20
The broad theme of the Meeting is Creation, Loss, Re-creation:=20
Approaching the Millennium, which we hope will provoke reflection on some
of the most important issues of our times. For those who choose not to
address this theme, however, submissions may focus on any aspect of
sociocultural anthropology. CASCA encourages and welcomes a diversity of
perspectives and forms of participation. In our experience, organized
symposia and interactive workshops produce the most intellectually
satisfying sessions. Therefore, we urge you to consider organizing a
session.=20
TYPES OF PRESENTATIONS

A.=09Symposia include papers and discussion organized around a theme.=20
