The Society for Cultural Anthropology is hosting its first virtual conference for Displacements and CAM/MAC is hosting a node on Friday April 20 from 11:00-18:00. Come out for free access to the presentations.
We will host in our office (FSS 10035). However, if we get enough responses we will find a bigger room. Pot luck (refreshments encouraged but not required).
If you want to see more, please feel free to register for the whole conference. This will give you full individual access to the conference program and interactive features. The cost is only $10 USD.
We are thinking of some ideas of interesting things we can do. If you have any ideas, please let us know!!
See full program here.
Questions and inquiries, please contact Heather at hbuis074@uottawa.ca.
