International Conference: Call for Papers.
Challenging Frontiers:
Mobility, Transition, And Change
4th–5th April 2008
Hosted by the Graduate Archaeology Organisation, University of Oxford.
Following the successes of previous G.A.O. conferences, we will be continuing
the momentum and holding a conference titled: Challenging Frontiers: Mobility,
Transition and Change. This conference aims to address the question of mobility
in the archaeological record. The physical remains of the past are fixed in
archaeological contexts. However, these remains are not the product of a static
environment but of change, mobility and transition. Many differing mobility
centred concepts are deeply embedded into archaeological thought and
interpretations. It is these aspects of the past which, despite being elusive,
are crucial to our understanding of change in societies and groups over time.
This conference will be interested in all the diverse concepts of mobility used
in study of the past, material culture, people, ideas and society, timing and
scale, landscapes and the environment. In particular, it will focus on the
different ways in which we reconstruct these concepts into explanations for
cultural changes, past populations, events and social interactions. We will
welcome papers or posters from academics and postgraduates, from any country and
discipline who can contribute to this debate in an articulate and intellectual
style. Papers should aim to be 20 minutes in length. Posters are also welcome.
The main aim of this conference is to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue
between the arts and sciences. This conference will be published; so all
contributors are asked to submit their paper before the conference takes place
Selected papers will be published, pending a peer review process. This will help
to ensure that your contributions are published alongside the highest standard
of research and that this conference has the impact and lasting effect that your
papers deserve.
Overnight accommodation for delegates will be available at Hertford College
Oxford, details of which will be available in November. We are in a position to
offer a limited number of modest bursaries to assist with accommodation costs
for those wishing to attend or give papers at the conference. Preference will be
given to those presenting papers at the conference. Those interested should
submit 100 words outlining how this conference relates to their studies or
research by 31st of January 2008.
Some Key Words: Mobility, change, social dynamics, material culture, transition,
environment chronology, trade, and exchange.
