[BOAI] International Workshop on Anthropology and Open Access

[Marta Perez]

Dear all,

I am Marta Pérez, a PhD Candidate in Social Anthropology at Autonomous
University of Madrid. Me and three colleagues at the department are
organizing an international workshop on Open Access. The workshop is called
"FAQs about Open Access: The Politics of Publishing in Anthropology". It
will take place 16-17 October 2014 in Madrid, in MediaLab.

The workshop is funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation (www.wennergren.org),
and we have support from our Department and the Madrid Institute of
Anthropology.

We are currently disseminating the initiative and exploring ways of
collaborating with institutions that might be interested in the event. We
would like to think about partnerships in order to disseminate information
about the conference and to establish collaboration with OA-centered
institutions in order to make this workshop as international and as
participatory as possible. Also, we are looking for additional financial
support for travels and side-events. Has the Boai Forum any call for grants
open at the moment or does it plan to open one in the near future?

I attach the complete proposal. We are in the process of confirming
attendees. For the moment, here is the list of participants:

David Zeitly
Alberto Corsín
Anne Allison (Cultural Anthropology)
Christopher Kelty
Elisenda Ardevol
Giovanni Da Col
Tomás Sánchez-Criado
John Willinsky
Rupert Gatti
Stephen Nugent
Jasmine Gideon
Clarence Gravlee
Ernest Abadal

While the workshop will focus on how Open Access debates concern
anthropologists and their research specifically, it will
surely yield insights that can be relevant for discussions on this issue
across the social sciences."

It will be a pleasure for us to have your support and collaboration. We can
communicate by phone, Skype, or e-mail. Below are my data.

Best regards,

Marta Pérez
