After a successful and inspiring workshop held during SIEF’s Congress in
Zagreb 2015, the Young Scholars Working Group is now hosting its own
conference and invites everyone interested to join!

The First International Conference of the SIEF Young Scholars Working
Group in cooperation with the Institute of Cultural Anthropology/ European
Ethnology at Göttingen University:

Coming of Age: Young Scholars in the Field of Folkloristics, Ethnology,
and Anthropology.  Göttingen, March 26th, 2017

The aim of the YSWG Conference is to reflect upon the academic,
intellectual, and existential conditions of being young scholars in the
fields of Folkloristics, Ethnology, and Anthropology. The Conference will
bring together scholars in early stages of their careers: Master and
Doctoral students, Postdoctoral researchers, and other interested
researchers. The Conference is envisioned as a platform for exchanging
experiences and promoting dialogue across national and disciplinary
borders, as well as collaborations on both individual and institutional
levels.

The Conference will take place in the morning and early afternoon of 26
March 2017, right before the official opening of SIEF’s biennial Congress.
An informal get-together will take place at one of Göttingen’s bars the
night before. The Conference will be divided into two sessions and a final
roundtable discussion. To enable as much communication and exchange among
the participants as possible we favour dialogic and workshop oriented
formats instead of traditional panel presentations. That means we invite
people to give short impact presentations (up to ten minutes) or poster
presentations to leave space for questions and discussions.

Please send us a short abstract of fewer than 200 words and three keywords
by December 18, 2016. Participants without an own contribution are of
course also welcome. Please register by January 15, 2017. In both cases
please send us an email to YSWG(AT)siefhome.org.

There is no conference fee but you need to be a member of SIEF.
