Editors Note
Welcome to the Spring 2021 Issue of Culture, the newsletter of the Canadian Anthropology Society.
In this issue we explore the theme “Engagements & Entanglements” echoing the topic of our annual conference.
Despite the ongoing challenges of living in a global pandemic, spring remains a time to celebrate the new and to look forward to good things ahead. Foremost among these “good things” for CASCA is our upcoming annual meeting. CASCA 2021 will be held for the first time as a virtual event, hosted by our colleagues the University of Guelph from May 12-15. The theme of this Spring Issue, Entanglements and Engagements, echoes the theme of the upcoming conference. Please check out the program and registration information here. Note that there is still time to register, but registration for HopIn, the online conference platform, takes up to 48 hours, so please plan accordingly.
There is much celebration of our members and their achievements throughout this issue. The posts include announcements of the winners of the Weaver-Tremblay Award, The Salisbury Award, and the inaugural CASCA Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE). The articles include reports by two past Salisbury Winners, discussions of teaching by our two CATE award winners, and Rhiannon Mosher’s heartening call to disentangle our value as anthropologists from our value as university labourers. The book notes section of the newsletter celebrates several new publications by our members. In the news section, you will read about many other awards and successes for our members. CASCA recently lost members David Lumsden, Jill LeClair, Michael Kew, and David Counts. They are fondly remembered in the In Memorium posts of the “News” section. Be sure to check out the calls for papers and award nominations as well.
We hope you enjoy the issue and wish you safety and health this spring.
