Special Issue Call for Papers: The Impact of Reserve and Reservation Systems on Indigenous Well-Being

https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/iipj/special_issue.html

Guest Editor: Cristhian Teófilo da Silva, Universidade de Brasília and CIÉRA - Centre interuniversitaire d'études et de recherches autochtone of Université Laval

In several countries around the world, non-Indigenous-dominated governments have created reserves or reservations where Indigenous populations have been placed. These land areas are legal designations for circumscribed territories occupied by one or more Indigenous Peoples in order to allow the State to perform the rational or bureaucratic administration of the lives of these peoples. They form an integral role in the longstanding colonial policy experiences aimed largely at assimilation and control of Indigenous populations.

The IIPJ is calling for policy and research submissions that relate to the impacts of the creation of reserves or reservations. We welcome submissions that are empirically grounded and relate to the impacts of these systems on the social, health, economic, political, or environmental well-being of Indigenous Peoples. The IIPJ welcomes a full range of methodological approaches but does seek contributions that are policy relevant and will be of interest to readers worldwide. Comparative studies are particularly welcome.

Submissions should be submitted for review no later than November 30, 2018

We expect to publish accepted manuscripts in summer (Northern Hemisphere) 2019.

Submission guidelines can be found in our Author Guide

Support for Guatemala Police Archive (AHPN)

Director's Message of Support for Guatemala Police Archive (AHPN)

Mon, August 13, 2018

Documents at the AHPN. Photo: AHPN.

According to an August 13 report on the National Security Archive website, "Guatemala’s renowned Historical Archive of the National Police (AHPN) is in crisis after its director, Gustavo Meoño Brenner, was abruptly removed in one of a series of recent actions orchestrated by the Guatemalan government and a United Nations office." This news comes on the heels of a successful joint seminar on archives and human rights, held at the AHPN in Guatemala City and co-hosted by LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections and the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice.

On July 27, 2018, LLILAS Benson joined the Rapoport Center to host “Archives and Human Rights: A History of Collaboration between the University of Texas and the Historic Archive of the National Police.” The one-day seminar was an opportunity to reflect on seven years of partnership between the University of Texas and the Archivo Histórico de la Policía Nacional, which preserves more than 80 million records documenting over one hundred years of police activity in Guatemala.

Through its partnership with AHPN, the University of Texas has become a repository for the digital copies of almost 20 million documents to date, with around 2 million additional documents added every year. A growing subset of those documents, around 11 million, are already on UT’s servers, at https://ahpn.lib.utexas.edu/, available to researchers around the world. The partnership has also served as the catalyst for four graduate seminars and three public conferences, leaving an indelible mark on the LLILAS Benson community.

With the recent “Archives and Human Rights” seminar, and in light of the alarming news of Gustavo Meoño's removal as director of AHPN, LLILAS Benson affirms its support for the mission and personnel of the archive, and its commitment to supporting the preservation of this historic collection, which is so fundamental to the pursuit of justice, the recovery of historical memory in Guatemala, and to the preservation of Guatemala’s national history dating back all the way to the nineteenth century.

Faculty position, Assistant Professor of Black Geographies, Department of Gender Studies and Geography & Planning at Queen’s University , Ontario, Canada

The Departments of Gender Studies and Geography & Planning, Faculty of Arts and Science at Queen’s University invite applications for a Queen’s National Scholar position in Black Geographies at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor. This is a tenured or tenure-track joint position with specialization in Black Geographies and issues of race, gender, and culture. This position will have a preferred starting date of July 1, 2019.

The Department of Gender Studies at Queen’s University has 8 faculty members and is committed to interdisciplinary, historical and transnational research and teaching grounded in feminist, anti-racist, Indigenous, postcolonial, queer, trans, and social justice studies. The Department of Geography & Planning at Queen's University has 26 faculty members working in diverse areas of both human and physical geography and planning. Together, these Departments host a range of undergraduate and graduate programs, including PhD offerings. The successful candidate will teach and have opportunities to supervise students in both Departments.

With this appointment, we seek to augment Queen’s expertise in Black Studies, and particularly seek candidates who study interconnections of race, oppression and resistance in relation to place and space. We welcome candidates who will bring expertise to one or more of the following areas of scholarship: transatlantic slavery and its afterlife; racial capitalism; urban geographies; embodiment and performance; carceral or youth geographies; social movements; health and environment. Scholars who demonstrate engagement with feminist, decolonial, trans, and queer studies are encouraged to apply

The successful candidate will be expected to initiate a high quality, independent research program that is competitive for funding through Canada’s Tri-Council. The Departments of Gender Studies and Geography & Planning are well equipped and have established long-term research relationships with other universities around the world, which will give the candidate opportunities to fast track their research ideas and to build collaborations with colleagues within and beyond Queen’s.

Candidates must have a PhD or equivalent degree completed at the start date of the appointment. The main criteria for selection are academic and teaching excellence. The successful candidate will provide evidence of high quality scholarly output that demonstrates potential for independent research leading to peer assessed publications and the securing of external research funding, as well as strong potential for outstanding teaching contributions at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and an ongoing commitment to academic and pedagogical excellence in support of the department’s programs. Post Ph.D. experience involving undergraduate and graduate supervision and teaching is considered a strong asset. Candidates must provide evidence of an ability to work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary and student-centred environment. The successful candidate will be required to make substantive contributions through service to both departments, the Faculty, the University, and/or the broader community. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

The University invites applications from all qualified individuals. Queen’s is committed to employment equity and diversity in the workplace and welcomes applications from women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ persons.
