The registration deadline for the upcoming 16th Inuit Studies
Conference, "Imagining Inuit Imagining," has been extended to Friday, 10
October 2008. The conference will be held 23-25 October, at St. John's
College, at the University of Manitoba, Canada.
The theme of the 16th Bi-Annual Inuit Studies Association Conference is
"Imagining Inuit Imagining." The conference will focus simultaneously on
investigations of Inuit culture marking the place of Inuit within the
western imagination (imagining Inuit), discussion and reflection on
Inuit imaginative productions (Inuit imaginings), and examination of the
place of Inuit imagination in Qallunaat constructions or the way in
which Inuit imagination is imagined (imagining Inuit imagining).
Imagining is to be taken in its broadest sense, not only as a reference
to creative works but also how both Qallunaat and Inuit imagine each
other through theory. Sessions will span academic disciplines, crossing
the social sciences and humanities, to arrive at a deeper understanding
of Imagining Inuit Imagining. As Inuit become vocal within the academic
community and formulate their own understandings of themselves in the
world, Inuit are Imagining Inuit. The scholarly community is responding
to this changing reality by Imagining Inuit in new and exciting ways.
Invited keynote speakers include:
- Bernard Saladin d'Anglure
- Zacharias Kunuk
- Peter Irniq
The registration deadline for this conference has been extended to
Friday, 10 October 2008.
