The 12th biennial conference is hosted by Laboratoire d'ethnologie et de sociologie comparative (LESC) at the Université Paris Nanterre. The conference will attract over 1400 academics to discuss work based around the theme. The keynote address will be given by Professor Caroline Humphrey of the University of Cambridge - see the abstract.

Along with the keynote, plenaries, workshops, poster sessions and a film stream, there will be the usual additional attractions of network meetings, book launches, an opening reception and a closing banquet. Funding will be made available to assist participation of some conference delegates facing tough economic circumstances.
The University is a two-minute walk from the RER station Nanterre Université, which is two stops from La Défense and about 15 minutes by RER and metro from the centre of Paris. This will be a very easy location for delegates to travel to and from.
The Scientific Committee unfortunately could not accept a large number of the workshop proposals received for this event. In response to members' enquiries into the rationale behind this and the criteria on which the selection of proposals worked, the SciComm have written an open letter to the proposal convenors detailing this process. This was emailed to all convenors, but is also available here as a PDF.
