Toronto/Tkaronto, ON/Canada
May 11-13, 2023
Deadline: November 15, 2022
Tkaronto has been home of Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples since time immemorial and part of the original homelands of the Wendat people. We invite people to the NAISA 2023 meeting in Tkaronto, a place that is both lands and waters. We invite you into a good way of being and thinking in relation with lands, more than human and human kinship, while visiting us here. We hope that our gathering is both about the future and about remembrance. In our planning of this meeting, we have been considering the following prompts: How do we practice consent? How do we gather in a good way? How do we show care? While we do not ask that you directly address these prompts in your proposal, we encourage you to consider these questions as you begin to plan your time at the conference.
The NAISA Council invites all persons working in Native American and Indigenous Studies to submit proposals for: Individual papers, panel sessions, roundtables, or creative works/film screenings. We welcome proposals from faculty and students in colleges, universities, and tribal colleges; from community-based scholars and elders; and from professionals working in the field. We encourage proposals relating to Indigenous community-driven scholarship.
The deadline for proposal submissions is November 15, 2022, 11:59 pm EDT. Only complete proposals submitted through the online Abstract Collector before the deadline will receive consideration. Please read the Instructions for Preparing Proposals (below and on the submissions website) carefully before submitting your proposals.
