Title: Summer Internship for Native Americans in Genomics (SING) Workshop
Deadline: March 31, 2013
Location: Institute for Genomic Biology

Description: The Institute for Genomic Biology will once again be hosting the Summer Internship for Native Americans in Genomics (SING) Workshop. The workshop will take place from August 4-10, 2013, at the IGB to discuss genomics as a tool for Native American communities and assist in the training of Native Americans in the concepts and methods currently used in genomics. The aims of the workshop are to facilitate discussions on indigenous values and whether scientific methods can be beneficially incorporated with these values, and to provide awareness of how genomics is currently used as a tool to assist in projects focused on natural resources, history and biomedicine. Additional instruction in fundamental concepts and methods in genomics and bioinformatics, including both theoretical aspects and practical laboratory- and computer-based training, will take place. Combining ethical, legal, and social discussions surrounding historical Native American encounters with science and hands-on training in the latest genomics techniques and analytical programs, the goal of the workshop is to help prepare participants for future leadership positions in science research and teaching careers.

The workshop is open to tribal college students, community college students, university undergraduate students and graduate students, and individuals who would like to continue their education in the sciences.

Registration is now open, and full details can be found at http://conferences.igb.illinois.edu/sing/.

Title: Native American Encampment Site Project
Deadline: April 1, 2013
Location: 1490 Agency House Road, Portage, Wisconsin

Description:
The Native American Encampment Site Project will result in an interpretive manual for docents and visitors that will provide historical context for this educational element. The selected candidate will also research and acquire reproduction artifacts and/or other material culture that will support these interpretive materials. Finally, this project will involve management of a small-scale budget specifically intended for research-related costs and the purchase of appropriate material culture items. Our site is currently undergoing a interpretive shift that will better communicate the role of our Indian Agent Kinzie, the many and varied expectations and realties of his position, and his relationship with the local indigenous peoples. Yet we still need to do a better job of interpreting day-to-day life of Native Americans, and how their centuries-old culture was rapidly changing due to the American “acquisition” and settlement of Native lands. These are obviously sensitive and multi-faceted historic themes, but they are inarguably essential to understanding how America became what it is today. The selected intern will be tasked with telling these stories in the setting of an already-existing, yet very rudimentary “Native American Interpretive Site.” This site element is intended to be a permanent, educational addition to our standard guided tour and, we hope, a future venue for Native interpretation, demonstrations and programming. This recreated encampment site has progressed with the invaluable assistance of the Ho-Chunk Nation’s Tribal Historic Preservation Office—as the Ho-Chunk are the ancestral inhabitants of this area, HIAH places much value on the Nation’s cooperation. It will be a requirement of the internship that throughout the duration of this project, the selected candidate will continue this relationship with the Ho-Chunk Nation, as both a source of knowledge and a respected educational partner.

Qualifications:
Graduate student (or advanced undergraduate, based on the recommendation of professors or other acceptable references) enrolled at an accredited college or university, preferably in History, Public History, Museum Studies, Anthropology or Education. Must be creative, have excellent verbal and written communication skills, possess an attention to detail, and be both self-directed and able to work within a team. Proficiency with Microsoft Office preferred but not required. Background in Wisconsin history preferred but not required.

Application:
Applicants should submit a resume that details their relevant work and educational experiences, including the contact information for THREE references (two professional/academic and one personal). Applicants should mail all materials, along with a cover page outlining their interest in the position, to:

Destinee K. Udelhoven, Director
Historic Indian Agency House at Fort Winnebago
P.O. Box 84
Portage, Wisconsin 53901

Email applications will also be accepted at:

Email submissions should state “Summer 2013 Internship” in the subject line.

Annual Workshop-Conference in Washington, DC area: 3 days in May
Summer 2: 3 weeks in July/Aug

Application deadline:
Accepting Applications for Summer 2013 for Cohort 3
July 10-July 31, 2013 (New Cohort)
July 28-Aug 15, 2013 (Returning Cohort)

Qualifications:

  • A U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident.
  • A member of an Under Represented Minority or a person with a disability
  • A junior faculty or scientist at an American institution

    • Devote 5% protected time and effort throughout the program
    • Devote 100% effort to all program activities
    • Have access to institutional resources for preparing grant applications

Description:
The primary objective of the Summer Institute in Genetic Epidemiology is to provide all-expense-paid training and mentoring in genetic epidemiology and risk factors to junior-level faculty and scientists from minority groups that are under-represented in the sciences and/or with a disability, so that they can competently and effectively develop independent research programs on cutting edge Heart, Lung, Blood, and Sleep (HLBS) disorders. This initiative to bring faculty and scientists particularly from minority groups into research is important because of the major public health burden of these diseases, especially in minority populations.

This Summer Institute program was designed to provide a working knowledge and appreciation for genetic epidemiology and bioinformatics methods and to integrate these skills with the Mentee’s substantive research interests in CVD and HLBS problems. It will (1) require participation in 3-week summer institutes during each of two summers, (2) attending a mid-year meeting, and (3) involve long-term networking with a Mentor to advance one's own research career.

Toward this mission, our objectives include:

  1. To provide fundamental training in genetic epidemiology and bioinformatics, with an emphasis on hands-on learning in addition to pure didactic course work.
  2. To advise and mentor the mentees during the following year in terms of career development for developing independent research plans dealing with HLBS disorders.
  3. To help the mentees apply for independent career development research grants by taking full advantage of the extraordinary resources of the participating institutions and mentors.

CALL FOR PAPERS OPPORTUNITIES

Title: New England American Studies Association 2013 Conference-Repression, Rebellion, and Representation: Cultural Challenges in New England and Beyond
Date: Sept 27th – 28th
Location: Mashantucket, Connecticut
Deadline: April 20th, 2013

The Mashantucket Pequot Reservation, established in 1666, is one of the oldest continuously occupied reservations in the United States. The reservation’s history of land loss and the reacquisition of lost land by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation two hundred years later are emblematic of challenges faced by indigenous and minority cultures and also representative of the ways in which indigenous and minority groups challenge hegemonic culture. From the coerced assimilation of Native persons, to searches for religious freedom, the development of free and enslaved African American communities during slavery, the arrival of European ethnic groups, Latino groups, and more contemporary identity politics, New England represents a microcosm of larger North American and now global cultural challenges. These challenges often manifest in the form of repression of non-dominant norms and ideals, rebellion against dominant ideals, and conflict over the representation of indigenous and minority identities in past and present cultural landscapes.

NEASA invites proposals for the 2013 conference, Cultural Challenges in New England, which will combine scholarly, community, and/or artistic investigation of sociocultural, political, economic, and gendered discourses on cultural challenges. There will be a series of panels, workshops, and participatory forums for exploration of these cultural challenges. We also welcome submissions from educators, curators, public historians, and creative artists. In addition to individual paper proposals, we also welcome submissions for roundtable discussions, hands-on workshops, and multimedia sessions including film screenings, online presentations, and lightning shorts.

Proposals should include a 250-word abstract and title, as well as the author’s name, address (including email), and institutional or professional affiliation. For panel proposals, please include contact information for all participants, as well as a brief (no more than two page) description of the session topic and format. Submit proposals by April 20th, 2013 to neasaconference13@gmail.com. Proposals or queries may also be sent to:

Title: 41st annual We Are All Ethnic Studies: Building Communities, Challenging Racism, Sexism & Heteronormativities in the 21st Century
Date: April 12-13, 2013
Location: Fort Collins, Colorado

The field of Ethnic Studies is at a pivotal time for institutional growth and proliferation in urban and rural settings. The barriers we face are many including the banning of curricula in Arizona, text book revisions in Texas, and impeding issues of academic/intellectual freedom and self-determination to develop the fields of knowledge. In direct response we move to mobilize under the umbrella theme for the 2013 NAES conference to grow our disciplines from research one and college settings, to k-12 schools and community settings.

Title: Indigenous Cultures of Print in Early America
Date: June 16-21
Location: Worcester

The 2013 Summer Seminar in the History of the Book in American Culture at AAS will be led by Philip Round, who is Professor of English at the University of Iowa. His book “Removable Type: Histories of the Book in Indian Country, 1663-1880” (North Carolina, 2010), was awarded the Modern Language Association’s James Russell Lowell Prize in 2011.

The seminar is motivated by a simple question: Where does American Indian Literature come from? When they hear the category “Native American Writers” most readers think immediately of best-selling contemporary authors like N. Scott Momaday, Louise Erdrich, Sherman Alexie, and Leslie Marmon Silko. Such authors are often praised for their “authentic” connection to an oral tradition, rendering it legible for outsiders to view. But what is the printed legacy of Native American literature? This year’s summer seminar will shed light on the long history of tribal literary traditions that are made up of a whole range of textual practices, from oral storytelling to written alphabetic and syllabary texts, from individual authorship to corporate and collaborative composition. Drawing on the extensive collection of American Indian print and manuscript materials housed at the AAS, the seminar will give teachers and scholars hands-on experience with the textual cultures of Native peoples from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries.

Applications are welcome from graduate students, public and tribal historians, librarians, and college and university faculty. The application deadline is March 29, 2013. Further details and application materials can be found on the AAS website, at http://www.americanantiquarian.org/sumsem13.htm.

For further information, please contact Paul Erickson, Director of Academic Programs at AAS, at perickson@mwa.org.
