This conference invites papers that sit with this troub le in order to engender new ways of thinking and theorizing the “field.” S ome of our questions include:\n \n - How do we find and make sense of the co ntexts we step into?\n - How does “research” emerge downstream from the fie ld? Conversely\, how does the field prefigure and unsettle the research we think we want to do?\n - What ethnographic possibilities emerge when we co nceive 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 vant age points of the “field.” Possible themes of discussion include but are n ot limited to: labor\, environment\, politics\, embodiment\, subjectivity\ , art\, archaeology\, and affect. While Perimeters welcomes academic paper s\, we also invite creative responses to fieldwork\, such as poetry\, pros e\, 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:20260321T130000Z DTEND:20260321T223000Z LOCATION:To be advised SUMMARY:Perimeters Graduate Conference URL:/anthropology/channels/event/perimeters-graduate-c onference-368430 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
