2018 IUAES ELECTORAL SLATES Candidates’ Statements of Intent & CVs

Nominees for President (two candidates) 1. Junji Koizumi (Japan)

Statement of Intent I became a delegate of Japan to IUAES in 1998, and I have been IUAES Secretary-General for nine years since election in 2009. I have been committed to IUAES for twenty years, and my top priority always has been to strengthen our organization, to promote international cooperation and to serve in the interests of global anthropology. Every year since 2009, IUAES has held a successful congress,1 including the Inter-Congress I myself organized in Japan in 2014 as President of JASCA, Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology. A critical turning point for the development of IUAES came in 2013 with the 17th World Congress magnificently organized in Manchester shortly after the total revision of the IUAES Statutes. In the same year, an intensive dialogue on the collaboration between IUAES and WCAA started. WCAA is a network for the cooperation among anthropological associations across the world, and I participated in its foundation in 2004 and served as its Facilitator and Chair in 2005-09. With all the effort and collaboration among the members of the IUAES Executive Committee and the WCAA Organizing Committee, we successfully created an integrated bicameral organization, World Anthropological Union (WAU), with the IUAES Chamber and the WCAA Chamber. I firmly believe that this is a major achievement for anthropology of the world, and my role, if elected, is to continue the collective will of the current executives and strengthen IUAES further by the synergy of complementary resources of IUAES and WCAA, which are mutually beneficial. There are so many things to be done in collaboration with the two executives, our Commissions, and all IUAES and WAU members. We need to have firmer financial and administrative bases. We need to build a larger membership with equal inclusivity. We need a stronger website and more effective means for communication and publication. We need to

have more resources to support members and Commissions with grants for their projects. In all these undertakings, the basic principle must be fairness, equity and democracy in the IUAES tradition. I am aware that the inauguration of WAU in collaboration with WCAA is just a beginning of an unprecedented, probably difficult but potentially extremely productive process. I wish to lead this process with all my resources and to the best of my ability. I was educated at Stanford University, conducted field research in Latin America, was a post-doctoral researcher in Canada, and worked as a Member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Along with research and teaching, mainly at Osaka University, in interpretive theories, Latin American studies, conflict studies as well as on globalization and international cooperation, I have been deeply involved in administration, having served in such positions as Dean of School of Human Sciences, Advisor to the President, Director General of the University Library, and Trustee and Executive Vice President. I have extensive knowledge and experience in evaluation of various sorts, including the auditing of national research institutes in multiple disciplines, accreditation of leading national universities, reviews for major grant and fellowship programs, editorship of academic journals, and evaluation of educational programs in universities. I am also a member of Science Council of Japan, and served in the Central Education Council of the government which makes the national policy for university education.

Such experiences, knowledge and skills in research, administration, education and evaluation acquired through my career, however, may not turn out to be sufficient, particularly given the difficult situation in which anthropology, the humanities, social sciences, and science in general are precariously placed in this unstable and unpredictable world. Nonetheless, I believe that anthropology is good and can make truly indispensable contributions to our society and that we need to continue to work for reaching those goals.

Statement of Commitment May 8, 2018 As a factor integral to the nomination and election process, I acknowledge my commitment and capacity to fulfill the duties of the IUAES Presidency in the event of being elected to that office. I understand that these duties entail my regular presence at the Union’s congresses and inter-congresses. Sincerely, Junji Koizumi Secretary-General, IUAES Professor Emeritus, Osaka University Auditor, the National Institutes for the Humanities (NIHU)

2. Paul Nchoji Nkwi (Cameroon)

Statement of Intent If I am elected I will seek to achieve the following three objectives

• To be the true voice of Africa within the IUAES and WAU by articulating the issues of African anthropology

• To create and sustain a commission on African anthropology, a commission that once existed and was animated by Africanists but declined under heavy post-modernist attack.

5

• To attempt to organize one of the IUAES Congresses in Africa. It was under my leadership within the IUAES that I was able to work with South African colleagues to organize an inter-congress in Cape Town, South Africa.

GIVE AFRICA A CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY VOTING FOR PAUL NCHOJI NKWI

Statement of Commitment May 12, 2018 As a factor integral to the nomination and election process, I acknowledge my commitment and capacity to fulfill the duties of the IUAES Presidency in the event of being elected to that office. I understand that these duties entail my regular presence at the Union’s congresses and inter-congresses. Sincerely,

Paul Ncholi Nkwi [Permission to sign on his behalf transmitted via email] Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Catholic University of Cameroon, Bamenda Honorary Member, IUAES CV I am a Cameroon national. I studied philosophy & theology at the Pontifical Urban University in Rome (1967-1971) and cultural anthropology at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland (1971-1976). Having obtained a PhD in cultural anthropology, I was recruited to teach basic courses in anthropology at the University of Yaoundé, where I taught for 30 years, bringing anthropology from the status of a service discipline to a full-fledged discipline awarding degrees (BSc. Master’s and PhD). Also, more recently, I established the Department of Anthropology at the Catholic University of Cameroon, Bamenda, in 2010. I served as a governmental official for 12 years with special interest in promoting social studies. I also served as the founding President of the Pan African Anthropological Association (PAAA), starting in 1989. I have been visiting professor at several universities around the world (Harvard, South Carolina, Rhodes, Bergen, etc) and won a Fulbright Fellowship and an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship from the Stiftung Foundation. I have also consulted for a number of organizations (UNESCO, WHO, World Bank, UNFPA). I was recently appointed a judge in the Cameroon Constitutional Court/Council (February 2018).

I have been closely linked since 1988 to the IUAES where I have served as an ordinary member and Vice-President on the Executive from 2009 to 2013 when the Manchester World Congress convened. During the IUAES Congress in Florence I was voted to the position of a permanent honorary member of IUAES.

I have written four books and over 40 articles in peer-review journals.

Nominee for Secretary-General (unopposed candidate) Noel B. Salazar (Belgium)

Statement of Intent Having been trained in four-field anthropology in the USA, with ethnographic fieldwork experience in Asia (Indonesia), Africa (Tanzania) and South America (Chile), and currently being based and working in Europe, I have had ample exposure to the pluriversality of anthropology across the planet. As an early member of the World Anthropologies Network (RAM-WAN), past-president of the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA), former delegate and advisory board member of the World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA), vice-president of IUAES, commission chair and active participant to IUAES Congresses, I cherish every opportunity to meet with and learn from colleagues with the most diverse interests and backgrounds. I am convinced that IUAES has a crucial role to play for our discipline. Together with the WCAA, under the newly formed World Anthropological Union (WAU), it gives anthropologists worldwide a voice and a platform for scholarly exchange and knowledge development (related to teaching and research). The 2018 IUAES World Congress in Florianópolis will undoubtedly be an event to remember, giving the representation of anthropology at the global level a new élan. While the success of these major events needs to be consolidated, it is of utmost importance to keep the dynamism of IUAES alive in the period in between each World Congress. If I am elected as secretary-general, the one responsible for the general oversight and administration of all IUAES activities and initiatives, I would like to focus particularly on: (1) Further developing and fine-tuning the way IUAES communicates, internally, with other

anthropologists and with external partners and the broader public (hereby making good use of information and communication technologies);

(2) Further strengthening the IUAES Commissions, using the Council of Commissions to promote more collaboration and exchange among commissions and with the WCAA;

(3) Fostering the collaboration with the WCAA and other anthropological organizations and maintaining a strategic representation within the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH) and the International Science Council (ISC);

(4) Making better use of IUAES as a global platform to exchange experience and materials related to the production and dissemination of anthropological knowledge (including teaching).

7

One of my long-term goals is to strengthen the role of IUAES in representing fairly the wide variety of ‘world anthropologies’ in the academic, professional and public spheres. The fact that I speak multiple languages and have lived and worked on various continents will facilitate my communication within the executive committee, with the scientific commissions and with the membership. I am convinced that IUAES has a critical role to play in boosting the quality of anthropology across the globe, making the discipline more worthwhile for all anthropologists and inspirationally relevant to the serious socioeconomic and environmental challenges the world is facing. In the current climate of ‘crisis’, it is imperative to pool our lobbying resources to safeguard anthropology as a scientific discipline. Therefore, the coming together of IUAES and WCAA, under the umbrella of WAU, is so important. Let us continue building IUAES as an inclusive organization in which each anthropologist can find a place, a forum for exchange and opportunities to collaborate and grow, both intellectually and as a person. I am up for the challenge. Are you? Statement of Commitment 8 May 2018

As a factor integral to the nomination and election process, I acknowledge my commitment and capacity to fulfill the duties of the IUAES Secretary-General in the event of being elected to that office. I understand that these duties entail my regular presence at the Union’s congresses and inter-congresses.

____________________________________________ Nominee for Treasurer (unopposed candidate)

Helen Macdonald (South Africa & New Zealand)

Statement of Intent I offer the following motivation in support of my nomination for election as IUAES treasurer: I am presently a tenure-track social anthropologist at the University of Cape Town. I hold BA, BCom and MA degrees from the University of Otago in my native New Zealand, and a

9

PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), London. My BCom majors were Accounting and Finance. My BA majors were Anthropology and Psychology, and my MA was in Anthropology. Having withdrawn (somewhat unwisely) from an excellent academic career trajectory in New Zealand, I deferred enrolment for a PhD and relocated to the United Kingdom. There I sought and obtained contract employment in the banking and finance industry from Feb 1994 to Jan 2005. For those eleven years I utilised my qualifications as a Part Qualified Accountant, principally in management accounting/reporting and project control. I gained comprehensive computer programming knowledge of Database Development, developing and implementing user interfaces using Microsoft Access backing onto a number of platforms including Oracle and SQL Server. In 1998 I registered for my PhD at SOAS, financing my studies from my banking employment income. My doctoral research developed my Master’s degree interest in gender and religion; I investigated witch accusations in Chhattisgarh, central India. I completed my PhD in June 2004. I relocated to Cape Town permanently in February 2005 to start a family with my South African partner. Before being appointed to a permanent post in Anthropology at the University of Cape Town (UCT) in 2010, I taught undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and supervised students’ research and theses at all postgraduate levels for both UCT and the University of the Western Cape. In 2011 I was elected Treasurer of Anthropology Southern Africa (ASnA) and served the association in that role for six years before being elected as President in 2017 – a position through which I became a WCAA delegate. When I inherited the ASnA treasury, there was ZAR70,000 in the bank. Within two years I increased this to ZAR350,000 by collecting owed Page Fees and Royalties from ASnA’s journal. Funds have since been ring-fenced and invested to finance two sets of student awards – conference travel and writing prizes. ASnA has also used its new funds to commission two in-depth pieces of research exploring a website and developing the journal. The studies’ findings have led to ASnA signing a competitive contract with Taylor & Francis for the journal and to redevelopment of the ASnA website. Through careful management of the finances, ASnA has been able to pay its international fees to both the IUAES and WCAA, to host regional workshops, to employ a part-time journal editor, to support student travel, to fund student writing prizes for all levels of post graduate writing and generally to support ASnA council expenses. By strengthening the association’s activities through financing, ASnA’s membership has climbed steadily over the years. In addition I have, as ASnA treasurer, been active in applying for funding where possible to support the association and its annual conferences. On many occasions I have supported local conference organising committees as the conference treasurer and I have managed increasingly to draw previously marginalised anthropologists and non-academic professional anthropologists outside the academy into ASnA’s activities. I have represented ASnA at the WCAA biennial meeting hosted by Academia Sinica (Taipei) in October 2014 and Delhi University (India) in April 2012, and attended the IUAES World Congress hosted by the University of Manchester, UK in August 2013. In 2018, I was appointed, by the WCAA Organising Committee, as WCAA Treasurer. In accepting the nomination as IUAES Treasurer, I am expressing my firm belief that having one person as Treasurer of both WAU chambers will help to bring consistency and ease to the functioning of WAU, even while it remains crucial to maintain two separate bank accounts

10

and two separate sets of financial records and books for each – an exercise for which I have both the requisite skills and the commitment to maintain. I believe that the formation of WAU is an important step for integrating Anthropology’s international presence and I would be honoured to be able to bring my accounting and book-keeping skills to that process and to the strengthening of our discipline on the global stage. If I am elected as IUAES Treasurer, I would see an important facet of my role being to find funding for strengthening the publication output of the IUAES in order to build its global presence; and also for supporting the work of actively productive IUAES Commissions and their members, especially those in parts of the world where financial resources are particularly constrained.

Nominees for Senior Vice-President (two candidates) 1. Michal Buchowski (Poland)

Statement of Intent I have a long-lasting experience in working for anthropological communities at various organizational levels. For three consecutive terms I have been elected as the President of the Polish Ethnological Society which brings together more than seven hundred members. Between 2007 and 2010, I served as a member of Executive Committee of the European Association of Social Anthropologists, and I was elected its President in the 2009-10 term. I was also vice-Chair (2011-12) and Chair (2012-14) of the World Council of Anthropological Associations. Work in these organizations involved multiple and diverse tasks, starting from thousands of email exchanges, writing letters, conference preparations and work coordination. I can say with confidence that I have a quite rich and unique experience in organizing anthropological activities locally, regionally and internationally.

In these years I have always been engaged in the promotion of the idea of world anthropologies, which involves an effort to deconstruct hierarchies of knowledge – resulting from historically contingent inequalities epitomized by (post-)colonialism and divisions into economic and political centers and peripheries – as well as advocacy for the creation of pluriversal, multidirectional, truly global and cosmopolitan anthropology. This stance is proved not only in a series of articles published and conference papers delivered, but also in several initiatives I have undertaken, aimed at promoting a democratic flow of anthropological knowledge produced in various contexts and traditions.

Coming from, so to say, the periphery of the center, and trained both in ethnological and anthropological traditions, and having experience in collaboration with scholars from all over the world, I feel ready to promote anthropology as a cosmopolitan academic trade and one

12

that is simultaneously engaged in public affairs. In the current wave of xenophobia and discrimination resurfacing in various places on the globe, I have been in the forefront of anthropological resistance to it, co-organizing, for instance, a nationwide congress ‘Anthropologists against discrimination’. Anthropology is an academic discipline simultaneously engaged in social affairs and respecting ethical obligations.

As senior vice-president, I will be equally determined to incite and support all initiatives aimed at bringing together scholars from various corners of the world into productive interactions and collaborations. As a concrete proof of my determination to achieve this goal, together with my colleagues from the Polish association and the Department of Anthropology in Poznan, both of which I am a head of, we will organize the next IUAES inter-congress in August 2019, the theme of which will be ‘World Solidarities’.

Statement of Intent I am interested in the post of senior vice –president as I now feel that I can serve the IUAES as an organization better, given my long experience and association with it. I became the co-chair of the Commission on the Anthropology of Women, at the Congress held in Florence in 2003. Along with the chair of the Commission, I worked to make the Commission both vibrant and productive. Together we organized a panel on discrimination and apartheid (titled “Interlocking Dimensions of Difference and Power: Racism in Culturally-Diverse Gendered Experiences,”) at the UN World Conference against Racism in Durban in 2001. We were also able to organize several panels at the Congress in Kunming, China in 2009. I was one of the main Keynote Speakers in Kunming and was also elected by an overwhelming majority vote to become the Chair of the Commission on Women.

I was elected as Vice-President and joined the Executive of the IUAES in 2013 and have attended the inter-congresses held in Bangkok, Dubrovnik, and Ottawa. I have been editing the IUAES Newsletter regularly on a biannual basis. In Dubrovnik, along with Prof. Faye Harrison, I established the Commission on Marginalization and Global Apartheid, which was successful in making a powerful debut in Ottawa with several very successful panels. I also organized a workshop on “Decolonizing Fieldwork” along with a First Nation scholar from Canada.

At present, the Commission on Marginalization and Global Apartheid is organizing several panels at the forthcoming Congress to be held in Florianópolis, Brazil. I have also been invited as a key speaker for a Post-Congress event What About Women in the History of Anthropology?, to be held from the 24 to the 27 of July 2018, at the Center for Afro-Oriental Studies (CEAO) at the Federal University of Bahia, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.

I have been actively associated with the IUAES for the last seventeen years. I wish to serve this organization and in unison with the WCAA take the World Anthropological Union to greater heights. In the contemporary world of increasing intolerance and violence, the humane discipline of Anthropology has much to offer and it is my firm belief that as an organization, standing together, we can make a difference. I wish to make my contribution to this humanistic effort. I will also like to continue to edit the Newsletter.

I retired as a Professor of Anthropology from the Department of Anthropology, Delhi University. In 2016, I was judged as the best serving teacher of Delhi University and given the Distinguished Teacher Award.

CV Research Interests: Identities: embodied and gendered, Religion and Cosmology, Environmental issues, Landscapes including sacred and urban ones and various aspects of Marginalization.

Vice-President—Slate 1 (two candidates) 1. Sumita Chaudhuri (India)

Statement of Intent I have been actively involved in IUAES activities since 1978, attending inter-congresses and congresses within which I presented papers, organized panels and sessions, and worked to promote the IUAES Commission on Urban Anthropology. The details of these activities are given below:

(1) I contributed a paper, “Learning the Art of Begging,” at the International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES), New Delhi, 1978. (2) I attended and contributed two papers in the 14th World Anthropological Congress held in the U.S.A. in 1998, including one in the plenary (“City and Its Future”), sponsored by International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences. (3) I organised a session on “Ethnicity and the Urban Poor” and contributed papers in two sessions in the International Seminar – Metropolitan Ethnic Cultures organised by the China Urban Anthropological Association and International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences held in Beijing, China in July 2000. (4) I organised a session on “Urban Agriculture and Urban Poor: Searching for An Alternative Survival Strategy” in the IUAES Inter-Congress, Kolkata, December, 2004. (5) I presented a paper, “Immigrants and Cultural Diversity: Indian Context,” in the session “Migration in China and Asian Pacific Region” in the International Symposium on “Cultural Diversities and Contemporary World,” held at Sun Yat–Sen University, Guangzhou, China, November, 2006, a Preparatory Conference for the 16th International Congress of IUAES, held in 2008 in China. (6) Also, I chaired two sessions in this conference held in Sun Yat–Sen University, Guangzhou, PRC, November 2006. (7) I organized a session entitled “Urbanization and Urban Poor” in the International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (ICAES) held in Kunming, China during 27th – 31st July, 2009. (8) I organized a session entitled “Innovations and Enterprise Anthropology” in the International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (ICAES) held in Kunming, China during 27th – 31st July, 2009. (9) I also organized a session on “Migration and Urbanization: Emerging Situation in Multiethnic Societies,” IUAES Inter-Congress held in Turkey, October 3-6, 2010. (10) I attended and presented papers in the International Interdisciplinary Conference on “Issues of Legitimacy: Entrepreneurial Culture, Corporate Responsibility and Urban Development” held in Naples, Italy during 10-14 September, 2012, organized by the Commission on Urban Anthropology, IUAES. (11) I organized a session “The urban poor and their struggle for survival: search for an alternative in livelihoods (IUAES Commission on Urban Anthropology) in the XVII IUAES World Congress held in Manchester, U.K. in 2013. (12) I organized a session on “Migration and Urbanization: Emerging Situation in Pluralistic Societies (sponsored by the Commission on Urban Anthropology)” in the IUAES Inter-Congress held in Chiba, Japan, 15-18 May, 2014. (13) I

17

organized a session entitled "Migration and Urbanization: the Role of Ethnicity in the Contemporary World" in the IUAES Inter-Congress, July'15 Bangkok, Thailand. (14) I organized a session entitled "Changing Scenario of Urban Poor: Emerging Economic Opportunities" on behalf of the Commission on Urban Anthropology for the Inter-Congress in May 2016 held in Dubrovnik, Croatia. (15) Organized a session entitled "Migration Urbanization and Identity" Commission on Urban Anthropology: IUAES Inter-congress, May,2017, Ottawa, Canada.

Since the inception of Commission on Urban Anthropology I have been an active member of this Commission. Prof. G. Ansari, Founder Chairperson of this Commission made me a member, and in the course of my involvement in the activities of this Commission, I became the Coordinator of the South and S. E. Asia division of this Commission. We proposed the first IUAES Inter-Congress in India, and it was organized in 2004 in the Calcutta University where “Mega Urbanization” was the main theme. It was organized in the Anthropology Department of Calcutta University in collaboration with the Anthropological Survey of India and Indian Museum. The Inter-Congress was very successful and subsequently five volumes were published out of some selected papers contributed in the Inter-Congress. This set of five volumes was presented to IUAES during the Kunming Congress.

In 2011, on behalf of the Urban Commission of IUAES, I organized an International Seminar in collaboration with West Bengal State University, ICSSR and Anthropological Survey of India. Three volumes were published, one of whose volumes focused on urban issues I edited. The volumes were published in 2015 by Cambridge Scholars Publishing.

There have been a large number of inter-congress and congress participants from both South Asia and South East Asia. The conferences held in the region have helped to increase the awareness about the activities of not only my Commission, but of the IUAES and Anthropology as a whole. Since 2011, I have visited countries like Mexico sharing issues and problems similar to those in India to develop contact and establish collaboration and cooperation in the field of anthropology.

There are Anthropology Departments in many South and SE Asian countries, but except India, not many IUAES programmes were organized because of lack of these countries’ interaction with the IUAES. My effort will be to organize IUAES programmes in these countries and involve them in IUAES activities, which will help in the development of Anthropology in general and IUAES in particular.

Statement of Intent I write to stand for the election of Vice-President on the Executive Committee. I currently serve on the Executive Committee, am the Head of the Council of Commissions, and serve as the Chair for the Commission on Anthropology and Environment. Through these roles I have been honored to serve on the World Anthropological Union (WAU) Steering Committee. I am an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at The University of South Florida, St. Petersburg, USA. I have a deep commitment to world anthropologies with demonstrated contributions at local, national and international levels. My primary goal during my years of service is to launch a podcast series for the IUAES which highlights member and commission contributions to the field. This IUAES-affiliated podcast series will meet and exceed the scholarly parameters of other anthropological associations, where podcasts are increasingly being counted as forms of legitimate academic publication. This format will provide a high-profile and timely way for cutting-edge developments in international anthropology to instantly reach people around the world. Presently, there is no podcast that meets IUAES’s high standards for scholarship and commitment to diversity in participation. This is our moment to launch this service to our membership, anthropologists around the world and the wider public. I plan to make this a reality through continuing my devoted leadership. I have been increasing my contributions to IUAES leadership for several years. As an early-career scholar, I have been committed to learning the best practices of the historical structures of IUAES management by attending all of the public business meetings, commission meetings, and planning sessions. I bring the IUAES perspective to meetings with the WCAA, and my national and regional associations (AAA; CSAS) to increase the knowledge of our union and cooperation in its goals. My commitment stems from an interest in thoroughly learning from and contributing to the internal structure of an organization that embraces diverse leadership in world anthropologies. As multi-generational scholars work side-by-side, institutional knowledge can be both preserved and also improved. My fresh perspective has provided some insights on how we can work together to improve these practices. The same values of collaboration, mutual intellectual engagement, and shared understanding that drive my commitment to my Commission, the Council of Commissions, and the Executive Committee are those that I would like to continue bringing in this role of increased responsibility. I look forward to further broadening my capacity to foster growth in integrating commission initiatives not only within IUAES initiatives, but also across the plethora of parallel interest groups across national associations and would plan to work closely with the next Head of the Council of Commissions to this end.

20

By formalizing our outward-looking mission to enhance our communication and connections across national organizations, I expect we can increase the profile and membership of IUAES. I hope to continue to serve the IUAES by working together to further pursue these mutual goals.

Vice-President—Slate 2 (two candidates) 1. Maria Victoria Chenaut (Mexico & Argentina)

Statement of Intent My candidacy for the position of Vice-President of the IUAES stems from the conviction that the experience I have accumulated through these years in the academic field can offer a significant contribution. Presently, both the IUAES and the WCAA have decided to work together under the World Anthropological Union (WAU), a bicameral organization whose objectives are to promote the communication, collaboration and cooperation of anthropology and social science institutions worldwide. This is an effort to strengthen their research and

22

teaching capabilities, as well as stimulate scientific debate, research networks and collaboration among scientists from different parts of the world. My personal contribution would then be related to the activities needed in this new organizational effort, while simultaneously working towards the strengthening of the IUAES as an organization. I have collaborated in various ways with the IUAES since 2000, when I attended the Arica (Chile) Congress convened by the Commission on Legal Pluralism. I later presented papers at the inter-congresses that took place in Calcutta (India, 2011), Naples (Italy, 2012), Dubrovnik (Croatia, 2016) and Ottawa (Canada, 2017). In 2013, Professor Buddhadeb Chaudhuri invited me to the IUAES Commission on Human Rights to serve as its Deputy-Chair. In that direction, I convened panels at the Dubrovnik and Ottawa IUAES inter-congresses, and I am presently coordinating the publication of two thematic issues of journals, e-cadernosCES (University of Coimbra, Portugal), and Abya Yala (University of Brasilia), with some of the papers presented at both academic events. IUAES is an organization that promotes dialogue among anthropologists, ethnologists and specialists from other related professions, leading to the exchange of ideas, experiences and knowledge at the global level. My being elected to this office would significantly contribute to strengthening these relationships, especially in Latin America, as well as to widening the existing relationships with countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. If elected, I would support the work of the several Commissions of the IUAES, stimulating the exchange and joint activities among them, as well as the publication of the results from various academic events, and the IUAES News Bulletin. Of particular interest to me is the diffusion of IUAES activities among Latin American anthropologists, especially the young ones, who represent anthropology’s future. The many difficulties faced by the practice of anthropology and the social sciences in today’s globalized world calls for increasing unity and communication between researchers and students. The advance of neoliberal policies has led to dramatic changes in many parts of the world, and the increase in violence and insecurity, accompanied by human rights abuses, racism and discrimination, poses a serious challenge to conducting fieldwork in many countries. Today’s world needs concerted action in order to reinforce analysis, reflection, and positioning in anthropology, ethnology and related academic fields, and the IUAES and WAU have an important role to play in meeting these challenges.

2. Virginia García Acosta (Mexico)

Statement of Intent My trajectory in the anthropological world began more than 40 years ago. I have always studied in Mexican Universities (BA, Masters and PhD), with a close relation with Brazilian institutions. I have done so, combining Anthropology and History in my main field of research: the anthropological study of disasters in the longue durée. Since the 1980s, and mainly after the Mexican 1985 earthquake, I began researching in that field, in which I have published, up to now, more than 20 books (as single author or edited volumes) and close to 100 papers or chapters.

My contributions in the field, mainly in Latin America, have been decisive to recognize the relevance of anthropological production in the study of risk and disasters. It has been instrumental in discussions in what is now globally called “Disaster Risk Reduction,” including, among others, the following: a holistic perspective, the combination of research and practice, and an acknowledgement that disasters and risk constitute processes that are

26

socially and historically built. Perhaps for these reasons, I was invited to be Deputy-Chair of the new IUAES Commission: “The Anthropology of Disasters and Risk Commission,” with my colleague Susanna Hoffman as Chair. The Commission was accepted last year by the IUAES Executive Committee.

In my research related to risk and disasters, I have been involved in several research projects, advised Master’s and PhD students, participated in conferences, received acknowledgements and awards throughout the world, mainly in Latin America and Europe.

I was one of the founders of the main Mexican Association of Anthropologists (CEAS: Colegio de Etnólogos y Antropólogos Sociales) in 1973, and have been a member of its Board several times. I am still an active member of CEAS. I was Academic Director (4 years) and after that General Director (10 years) of the main Mexican Anthropological Center for research and advanced studies in Anthropology: CIESAS (Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social). CIESAS has 7 campuses throughout the Mexican Republic, 160 researchers, 12 Postgraduate Programs and almost 400 graduate students.

My participation on the IUAES Executive Committee as a Vice-President could help in enhancing South-North relations, and the strengthening of the role of the IUAES mainly in Latin America. My national and international networks will certainly be of great help to disseminate the work of the IUAES and WAU, and also to make sure that the Latin American community of anthropologists, one of the largest in the world, will have a voice and will be heard in world anthropologies. My trajectory shows that I am more than willing to cooperate with other colleagues around the world and that I have the necessary skills to sustain productive academic international dialogues as well as to achieve new and exciting global anthropological products. In an era of climate change, my expertise on disaster and risk reduction will certainly help to enhance the IUAES’ participation in international fora on these pressing issues of our times.

Vice-President—Slate 3 (two candidates) 1. Zhang Jijiao (China)

Statement of Intent My intention is to be elected as Vice-president of IUAES, because I have served IUAES for 20 years since 1998: In 1998-2000, I was Assistant Secretary-general, the Organizing Committee for IUAES 2000 Inter-congress in Beijing after the 14th IUAES 1998 World Congress in Williamsburg, USA. In 2003-2009, I was Vice-Secretary-General of the Organizing Committee for the 16th IUAES World Congress, 2009, Kunming, China. In 2005 -2007, I was Assistant Secretary, Commission on Urban Anthropology, IUAES. In 2009, I became founder and Chair, Commission on Enterprise Anthropology (CEA) of IUAES during the 16th Kunming World Congress. In 2013, I was elected to be Chair, Commission on Enterprise Anthropology (CEA) of IUAES again, and then I was voted to be Deputy Head, Commission Council of IUAES during the 17th World Congress in Manchester, UK. My experiences as a member of EC, IUAES In 2013-2018, I have been an ex-officio member of the executive committee (EC) of IUAES for one term (as Deputy Head of the Council of Commissions). I play a role in the day-to-day running of the IUAES chamber in WAU. I have attended almost all working meetings of IUAES EC during the world congresses and inter-congresses since 2013, for example, 17th World Congress in UK, 2013; 2014 Inter-congress in Japan, 2015 Inter-congress in Thailand, 2016 Inter-congress in Croatia, 2017 Inter-congress in Canada. I have also joined the Skype meetings of IUAES EC and discussed with my colleagues about the matters of IUAES development. My experiences as a representative of IUAES EC to International activities In 2014, I was recommended by IUAES EC to be a member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of World Social Science Report (WSSR) 2016, which organized by World Social Science Council (ISSC) under UNESCO. Early in 2015, as a representative of IUAES, I attended a working meeting of Scientific Advisory Committee of WSSR held in Paris and organized by ISSC. In September of 2015, Durban of South Africa, as one of the IUAES representatives, I attended a panel during World Social Science Forum (WSSF) sponsored by WCAA and IUAES.

29

I was recommended by IUAES EC again to be a representative of IUAES, and attended the 32th General Assembly of the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences (CIPSH) in December, 2015. In the same year, I also attended the annual meeting of Association of Asian Social Science Research Councils (AASSREC), as a representative from AASSREC’s institution member, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. My Experiences of attending IUAES World Congress & Inter-congress

I have visited 33 countries and regions in the world, and have attended almost all the world congresses and inter-congresses since 2003, for example, 15th World Congress in Italy, 2003; 16th World Congress in China, 2009; 17th World Congress in UK, 2013; 18th World Congress here in Brazil, 2018; 2014 Inter-congress in Japan, 2015 Inter-congress in Thailand, 2016 Inter-congress in Croatia, 2017 Inter-congress in Canada. My thoughts about World Anthropology As far as I know, in China Anthropology is going up, but in many other countries it is going down. From the structures of two organizations IUAES and WCAA, I realized that IUAES’s foundation is various commissions on different sub-disciplines or sub-fields of anthropologies, WCAA’s support is from various associations of different countries or regions. I think that world anthropology has three kinds of characteristics: 1. More professional (IUAES): more and more sub-disciplines or sub-fields than before have their own commissions 2. More combination between localization and globalization (WCAA): more local associations or societies than before were born in different countries or regions, and they also came together as members of the global anthropology. 3. More organizations than before (WAU): we try to integrate various aspects (local and global, professional and practice) of global anthropology, try to link developed countries, developing countries and underdeveloped countries together. If elected as Vice-president of IUAES, I would like to improve IUAES. If elected Vice-president of IUAES, I will try to improve this organization with my five years experience as a member of the IUAES EC. I would like to contribute to the day to day running of IUAES affairs. For example, I will become an active member of the new IUAES EC in the working meetings, Skype meetings, and e-mail exchanges. If elected, I would like to do my best for the growth and development of the IUAES. For example, I would like to establish a channel for improving the cooperation among different countries and communication between different sub-disciplines. For another example, to strengthen the IUAES, it is very important for us to set up a platform for young generation to achieve our new goal of IUAES in the next five years. If elected, I will try to give intellectual or material benefits for the paid-up individual members of the IUAES. For example, I would like to build up a funding/award for IUAES members to provide research opportunities and to publish academic books that non-members don't ordinarily obtain. In short, I will work together with all members of Executive Committee of IUAES, and I will take a real active role for IUAES’s better future.

2. Sachiko Kubota (Japan)

Statement of Intent When I attended a congress of the IUAES for the first time, I felt so relieved as a large number of the attendants were non-native speakers of English. Until that time, I always had an inferiority complex about my English ability whenever I attended international conferences such as the American Anthropological Association. In IUAES, although the common language is still English and Anglo centric, I found it has a very cosmopolitan atmosphere, and this is very important for internationalizing the discipline. Through my long commitment in the Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology (JASCA), as a board member, I learned that internationalization has been one of the important objects of the society for a long time. In that context, I was elected to be a WCAA delegate, and started to participate in meetings actively. Through those experiences, I learned that WCAA has a very important role to recognize and emphasise about the diversity of Anthropologies in the world. Especially since being elected as a member of the organizing committee, it became even clearer to me that WCAA’s role is really important for enhancing and sharing the plurality of anthropological knowledges and diverse situations of Anthropology in the world at the same time. Now with the establishment of the new organization, WAU, IUAES and WCAA have formed an even closer relationship. And it is indispensable for the two chambers to communicate smoothly. In the position of Vice-President, I am sure I will benefit greatly from my experiences in WCAA. If elected a Vice-President on the IUAES Executive Committee, I would like to work to increase the Asian presence in WAU. Although quite a lot of Japanese scholars are attending IUAES conferences, anthropologists from other Asian countries are still a minority. And especially at the organizing committee level, I have to say it is a very small presence. I will work to encourage anthropological societies in Asia to participate more actively in the IUAES and WCAA to expand the recognition of Asian anthropologies in the wider world. This will be an important contribution to our knowledge of anthropological diversity. CV After finishing BA honors in 1982, Sachiko Kubota enrolled in graduate school at Konan University in Kobe and started her PhD research in 1985 under the informal supervision by Prof. Koyama at National Museum of Ethnology, Osaka and Prof. Peterson at Australian National University. Her research was in Arnhem Land in Australia on the issues of changing gender relationships in Aboriginal society from social, economic and local political

34

perspectives. She earned the PhD degree in anthropology with her work from research in 2002 at Konan University.

She started her teaching career as a lecturer at Ohtemae College in 1994, and was promoted to associate professor at Hiroshima University in 1997 and later promoted to full professor in 2009 at Kobe University, where she still teaches now.

She has been an active member in Japanese Society of Cultural Anthropology (JASCA) since 1985, and was elected as a board member for 6 terms since 2000, taking on various roles such as an editor in chief for the English Journal for JASCA. And especially, she was appointed as international delegate for JASCA in 2010 and became an active member of WCAA. She has participated in various WCAA meetings and IUAES congresses since then and was elected as a member of the WCAA Organizing Committee in 2016.

She is also very active domestically. She was appointed as a special expert researcher in cultural anthropology area at the Research Center for Science Systems in the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science for three years (2013-2016), and worked actively on the issues of governmental research funding. She was also appointed a full member of the cultural anthropology area in Japan Science Council in 2014, and is still working actively to make recommendations on various social issues based on her academic knowledge.

Her various publications include: ‘Transmission of Knowledge, Clans and Lands among the Yolŋu (Northern Territory,

Australia)’, in Dussart, Françoise and Sylvie Poirier (Guest Editors) Entangled Ontologies: Interpretations of relations to land in Australian and Canadian neo-settler states. University of Toronto Press (2017)

‘From Applied Anthropology to Anthropology of Engagement’ Sachiko Kubota, “Ethnography & the Production of Anthropological Knowledge” Musharbash and Berbar (eds.) , pp. 123-132, ANU E Press.(2011)

Vice-President—Slate 4 (two candidates) 1. Marcin Brocki (Poland)

Statement of Intent I have been a member of IUAES Commission on Theoretical Anthropology for years. As part of my membership, I have taken part in several congresses, some of which involved panels that I organised. I have also held various managerial positions in several major Polish anthropological and ethnological scientific institutions for many years. In my work with the Executive Committee of IUAES, I would focus on strengthening the authority of anthropological knowledge, supporting the Commissions in their activities and improving communication within our institution and with external environments.

IUAES has greatly contributed not only to the internationalisation of scientific knowledge, but also to the control over the scientific standards within the discipline by confronting anthropological/ethnological practices in different parts of the world. This is an important aspect of IUAES’s activity that should be supported, as it builds the authority of anthropological knowledge, which in turn influences institutions that apply ethnological and anthropological knowledge (thus significantly expanding its range of influence). Such institutions are then able to invoke it reliably (it is important to strengthen the public image of the discipline; however, actions undertaken to this effect should always be adjusted to the local particularities to ensure success). Furthermore, the authority of anthropology increases its efficiency during interventions, both short-term (examples of good practices are the well-known IUAES interventions in the UK or Poland in the recent times) and more universal ones (appeals to UNESCO-linked organisations), and allows ethnological knowledge to be referenced in educational programmes at various levels of education; an active role of IUAES is indispensable in this respect, as well. Thus, international anthropological meetings are crucial in the building-up of authority and the discipline itself.

Note that according to the IUAES statutes, activities on a global scale (cooperation and networking) also rely on the ability of diverse groups of researchers to take part in congresses, inter-congresses and independent Commissions meetings, which is why it is important to ensure equal accessibility of congress sites (in terms of visas and costs) and to strengthen the Commissions’ activities, which should form a foundation for IUAES members in their work. The Commissions’ support should in particular concern publications, meetings (conferences, seminars and inter-commission debates) and educational projects, as well as a

36

noticeable presence of ethnological knowledge generated by the Commissions in the public sphere.

Support for the Commissions is possible only if we maintain a reasonable number of them. In my opinion, the structure of IUAES should not be dispersed more than absolutely necessary to avoid a loss of effectiveness. It is advisable to ensure internal diversity with good communication within each Commission and between Commissions. Such communication can be achieved if we establish a well-organised, stable website along with a website template for all Commissions under a common hosting provider and secure the presence of IUAES and the Commissions in social media (bear in mind that today’s Twitter is a tool for political activism, rather than simply a means of communication).

____________________________________________ 2. Saša Missoni (Croatia)

Statement of Intent I have been the head of the Institute for Anthropological Research in Zagreb, Croatia since 2011. In the past seven years I have brought eminent international scientists to Croatia, presented research expertise and results from my Institute worldwide and have organized numerous international conferences, sunmer schools and fieldworks. I also had the honor to

38

organize the IUAES lnter-Congress in Hotel Palace Dubrovnik, May 4 to 9, 2016 under the theme, "World Anthropologies and Privatization of Knowledge: Engaging Anthropology and the Public.” The scientific committee accepted 172 diverse and interesting panels and the inter-congress was attended by 708 registered participants. I have also been elected deputy-chair of the IUAES Commission on Medical Anthropology and Epidemiology. Besides IUAES conferences, I was also the president of the 20th Congress of the European Anthropological Association which was held in Zagreb in 20l6 and the member of the Organizing Committee of the 9th and 10th Conference on Forensic and Anthropologic Genetics and Mayo Clinic Lectures in Individualized Medicine (ISABS). I will also host the l5th International Congress of Auxology in 2020, in Croatia. It would be my utmost honor to become a vice-president of IUAES, because I think I can contribute significantly. My experience in organizing scientific events could help the local organizing committees of upcoming Inter-Congresses and Congresses, with the aim of preparing high level scientific events intertwined with a rich social program where eminent scientists and experts in anthropology and ethnology could have a chance to interact and share ideas and knowledge. Furthermore, both my Institute and I myself personally have a wide network of collaborators worldwide, which would most certainly be useful to expand the list of IUAES members and attract more participants to the upcoming Inter-Congresses and Congresses. I am also familiar with the idea, structure, and organization of IUAES and would find it easy to fit onto its Executive Committee. CV ACADEMIC AND SCIENTIFIC DEGREES: 2014. Assistant Professor.
