Dear Colleagues,
the deadline for submitting papers to the Auckland conference is very very
soon (see message below).
There is still some place in the pannel "Risky Environments: ethnographies
and the multi-layered qualities of appropriation"
http://www.nomadit.co.uk/asa/asa08/panels.php5?PanelID=433

Best regards
Laurent

Conversation: Auckland Conference - deadline update
Subject: [AASNet] Auckland Conference - deadline update

Dear Colleagues, 

Our joint conference now has about 380 paper proposals. While not
wishing to be too rigid about the May 1st deadline for paper
submissions, we do need to close this off soon. I know that we are
usually more flexible with conferences in this part of the world, but in
this instance we have a lot of people submitting papers from overseas
and there are some key funding deadlines coming up. The May 19th
deadline for convenors to make decisions on papers was fixed largely to
ensure that our overseas colleagues will get a response on their
abstracts in time to apply for travel funds. We feel the deadlines
should be the same for everyone.

We also have to deal with a number of requests for larger panels: the
conference committee will try to do this within the next few days. In
the meantime, we'd like to set Wednesday 14th May as a truly FINAL
deadline for paper submissions (after which Rohan will close the
submission process). This still gives everyone a few days' grace in
which to get abstracts submitted, but also leaves panel convenors with a
little time in which to finalise their decisions and let people know
whether their papers have been accepted, in time for THEM to meet the
funding deadlines. I hope this sufficiently balances everyones needs!

kind regards, 

Veronica Strang
