The Mind of the Chimpanzee
An international multidisciplinary conference on chimpanzee cognition
March 22–25, 2007
Lincoln Park Zoo, Chicago, Illinois
Hosted by the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes
In light of recent advances made in studies of chimpanzee cognition, the
publication of the fully sequenced chimpanzee genome and the
catastrophic destruction of chimpanzee populations around the world, the
time is right to convene an international conference focusing on the
mind of our closest living relative.
In the tradition of the “Understanding Chimpanzees” conferences, which
started 20 years ago, “The Mind of the Chimpanzee” conference will bring
together the top experts in the fields of chimpanzee cognition and
conservation as well as the “next generation” of chimpanzee researchers
in order share new research findings, generate new collaborative
research partnerships and examine how studying chimpanzee cognition
impacts chimpanzee conservation. The Lester E. Fisher Center for the
Study and Conservation of Apes is proud to host this historic event
organized by Dr. Elizabeth Lonsdorf and Steve Ross.
The three-day conference has garnered the support of some of the world’s
most eminent primatologists. The steering committee is made up of Dr.
Frans de Waal (Living Links Center of Emory University), Dr. Tetsuro
Matsuzawa (Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University), Dr. Andrew
Whiten (Center for Social Learning and Cognitive Evolution at University
of St. Andrews), Dr. Lisa Parr (Yerkes Primate Center at Emory
University), Dr. Brian Hare (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology), Dr. Tatyana Humle (University of Wisconsin at Madison),
and Dr. Crickette Sanz (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary
Anthropology). Dr. Jane Goodall and Dr. Paul Heltne are serving as
Conference Advisors.

4)  SUMMER STUFF:
4A)  Field experiences in the Russian European North
"Social Production of Space: Field experiences in the Russian European
North"
The course targets PhD students and recent PhDs and is designed as a
two-week journey in the North-Western Russia: from St. Petersburg
through Karelia to Murmansk with lectures, seminars, and excursions to
several important sites along the way. Established scholars, young
scholars and PhD students will discuss current tendencies of social
sciences in conceptualizing space and power and will apply this
knowledge to the field experiences of the Russian North. This research
training course deals with the complex issues of social production of
space in the context of processes of industrialisation and globalization
in northern territories. How is 'the North' produced and consumed,
practiced and performed at different scales by different actors is the
main research agenda engaged during the two week field course. The
categories of 'space' and 'power', 'society' and 'nature', 'local' and
'global' and their intersecting relationships are the central themes to
be addressed.
We welcome PhD students and recent Post-docs from the disciplines of
social anthropology, sociology, human and cultural geography and
history, engaged in qualitative research and interested in the North
(not exclusively in the Russian North).
For participants from Nordic countries, Baltic States and North-Western
Russia all expenses will be covered by a grant from Nordforsk (the
Nordic Research Board); some partial financial support can also be
provided for candidates from other regions with projects strongly
related to the topic of the course.
To apply, please send the following documents in English before 15 March
2007:
1. curriculum vitae
2. statement about current research relevant to the theme of the school
(1-2 pages)
3. the names and e-mail addresses of two referees
Candidates will be informed in mid-April whether they have been accepted.
Course participants are expected to present a paper; papers (3000-4000
words) should be sent by the end of June to be distributed to the other
participants.

4C) study a variety of courses in Guatemala thru the University of Arizona
Dear Dr. Mucci,
The Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona has
partnered
with the Center for Mesoamerican Research (CIRMA) in Antigua, Guatemala, to
offer a summer and semester study abroad program with a strong Anthropology
focus.
As a faculty member of this program’s advisory committee, I am doing some
outreach for the program. I’ve sent an email to you with web links and
contact information, and I ask for your help in posting the detailed
email to
your Anthropology student listserv at Indiana Univeristy, and to the
undergraduate Anthropology club, if possible.
This an academically rigorous program, with many opportunities for
Anthropology
students to interact with Central American researchers and activists and
engage
in co-curricular activities in Guatemala.
The CIRMA program has a U.S. academic advisory committee comprised of
more than
two dozen prominent anthropologists, historians, political scientists and
others.
CIRMA offers personalized classes taught by Central American scholars.
Classes
are offered in anthropology, archeology, history, literature, and
politics, as
well as Spanish and Mayan languages. The program includes fieldtrips and a
colloquium series, as well as internship and volunteer opportunities.
Classes can be taken for undergraduate or undergraduate honors credit, and
sometimes for graduate credit. Students receive a University of Arizona
transcript, so credits are fairly easy to transfer.
Revenue from the program goes to help CIRMA maintain and expand its
excellent
library, one of the best in the region.
I've sent via email a detailed program description with web links and
contact
information. CIRMA and UACLAS would be very grateful if you could
forward the
detailed email to your undergraduate (and possibly graduate) listservs,
as well
as to any faculty you think might be interested in knowing about the
program.
This is an excellent new program that provides many opportunities for
Anthropology students. Thank you for helping to publicize the CIRMA Study
Abroad in Guatemala program. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have
any questions about the program.

Summer Study Abroad in Buenos Aires, July 1 – August 4, 2007
The GLOSAS (Global South Advanced Studies) Center and the University of
Hawai’i Study Abroad Program invite applications for the 2007 summer
session on http://faculty.oxy.edu/tobin/buenosaires07.htmCulture and
Performance.
Two parallel 5-week intensive courses are offered:
http://www.studyabroad.hawaii.edu/documents/BuenosAires07DNCE495course.doc
Tango, National Identity and Cultural Translations, Professor:  Marta
Savigliano. Introduction to tango history, tango styles, movement
analysis, and movement experience. This course explores the politics of
popular culture, tracing tango’s travels from the brothels of Buenos
Aires to the cabarets of Paris and the shako dansu clubs of Tokyo; from
Hollywood screens to Finnish popular festivals to Broadway stages.
Films and texts will be used to take a critical look at exoticism and
auto-exoticism.  Local and international struggles over tango’s meanings
and representations will be analyzed and discussed including gender,
sexuality, class, race, and national identity that interweave in the
making of different tango styles, tango bodies, and tango communities.
Tango studio classes (to learn tango argentino movement techniques as
currently practiced in dance clubs or milongas) are an integral part of
the course.  Studio classes, taught by professional tango dancers, will
be offered three times a week at introductory and intermediate levels.
(DNCE 495:  Topics in Dance-- 3 credits,  A-F only.)
And:
http://www.studyabroad.hawaii.edu/documents/BuenosAires07ANTH315course.doc
Machos: Latin American Masculinites, Professor: Jeff Tobin.  This course
encourages students to think critically about the concept of machismo by
reviewing a variety of ways of being manly throughout Latin America with
a focus on Buenos Aires.  Case studies include men's roles in tango
clubs, sames-sex tango practices, soccer fans, asado (Argentine
barbecue), and the military repression of 1976-1983. (Anth 315:  Sex and
Gender or WS 495: Selected Topics--3 credits, A-F only.)
