This conference invites papers that sit with this tr ouble in order to engender new ways of thinking and theorizing the “field. ” Some of our questions include:\n \n - How do we find and make sense of the contexts we step into?\n - How does “research” emerge downstream from the field? Conversely\, how does the field prefigure and unsettle the research we think we want to do?\n - What ethnographic possibilities emerge when we conceive the field not just as place\, but as process or practice?\n \n We are looking for abstracts that grapple with these questions from diverse v antage points of the “field.” Possible themes of discussion include but ar e not limited to: labor\, environment\, politics\, embodiment\, subjectivi ty\, art\, archaeology\, and affect. While Perimeters welcomes academic pa pers\, we also invite creative responses to fieldwork\, such as poetry\, p rose\, and film.\n \n Send paper abstracts (~150 words) with a writer bio (~ 50 words) by January 1\, 2026 to: perimeters.conference [at] gmail.com.\n DTSTART:20260221T140000Z DTEND:20260221T233000Z LOCATION:Thomson House\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1Y2\, 3650 rue McTavish SUMMARY:Perimeters Graduate Conference URL:/anthropology/channels/event/perimeters-graduate-c onference-368430 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
