The 2013 Northwest Anthropological Conference will be hosted by

Portland State University

 

64th Annual Northwest Anthropological Conference

 

 April 21-23, 2011 

Moscow, Idaho

 

     Common Ground

 

Anthropological research often involves forging partnerships across disciplines and with diverse communities outside the field, such as governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, Native American Tribes, businesses, and the public. Successful collaboration requires finding a common ground between multiple stakeholders' perspectives, agendas, and beliefs. Forming mutually engaging relationships provides a more expansive and holistic knowledge base that can help anthropologists address a wider range of questions and problems than can a single discipline or institution alone. Moreover, when we collaborate with people in the communities where we do our work, research and projects are more likely to be relevant to and stimulate dialogue amongst the many interest groups and publics we serve. The sixty-fourth Annual Northwest Anthropological Conference, hosted by the University of Idaho Department of Sociology and Anthropology in Moscow, ID, will highlight these efforts.  Although papers, posters, and symposia that address collaborative research and projects are encouraged, all topics, subfields of anthropology, and related fields are welcomed.
