Native American Art Studies Association Call for Session Proposals The NAASA Program Committee (Kate Morris, chair; Henrietta Lidchi, Sherry Farrell Racette and Heather Igloliorte) invites formal proposals for organized sessions at the 2015 conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The call for individual papers will appear in the March 2015 newsletter. Proposed sessions may focus on a particular body of material and present perspectives for further understanding of a topic. We are open to receiving proposals in the fields of contemporary and traditional art, or interdisciplinary panels that encourage dialogue among artists, anthropologists, collectors, museum professionals and art historians. Standard-format sessions will be composed of four presentations, each of no more than twenty minutes in length. We will also entertain proposals for alternative-format sessions, such as roundtable discussions, workshops, interviews, film screenings, etc. Session Organizers should send abstracts that do not exceed 200 words in length. Abstracts must clearly define the central issue and intellectual focus of the session (theoretical, descriptive, historical, etc.), and indicate its organization (papers only, papers with discussant, round table, workshop, etc.). Session Organizers are responsible for soliciting a core group of speakers for their sessions but must be open to considering additional papers from an open call. Session Organizers should provide, or arrange for, opening remarks to the session. Although it is not necessary to have presenters confirmed at this time, please send the names of potential speakers under consideration and their topics. We assume that speakers will be using presentation software such as Powerpoint unless special equipment is requested in advance. Session proposal abstracts must be received by January 15, 2015. Direct proposals by email to: [email protected]. Accepted session proposals will be announced in the March newsletter along with a call for individual papers for these and for open sessions. The Program Committee will organize individually volunteered papers into sessions related by topic, region, or methodology.
