CFP: Armenian Studies and Material Objects, 10th Annual International Graduate Student Workshop

Deadline: November 30, 2018

April 26 and 27, 2019; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

Inspired by the interdisciplinary possibilities and the innovative scholarly avenues that the study of materiality can open in the field of Armenian Studies, the Tenth Annual International Graduate Student Workshop will focus on the theme of material objects. The exploration of culture, society and politics through material objects will provide opportunities to reflect on the ordinary or the everyday practices and experiences of Armenian communities across space and time. 

The Armenian Studies Program invites early-career scholars (graduate students or those having received a PhD within the last three years) to submit abstracts of their works that critically examine and expand on the multiple meanings of materiality. In addition to the disciplines of anthropology, history, literature and political science, this workshop will engage fields such as Design and Textile Studies, Media and Film Studies, Art and Architecture, Archaeology and Museum Studies, that have remained at the margins of Armenian Studies.
