What do we do?
Each academic year, a student leads our efforts, in coordination with peers, under the guidance of Professor Meg Stalcup. As a group, we are dedicated to fostering fieldwork-based approaches to the internet, generative AI, images, sound, the senses, cities, popular culture, museums, and archives. Eclectic in our intellectual inspiration, we are nonetheless invested in how to remediate anthropology for the 21st century. CAM/MAC provides a centralized space at the University of Ottawa for faculty and student researchers to pursue these inquiries. Throughout the academic year, we hold (more or less) monthly events that help conceptualize our empirical projects, allow us to discuss techniques for using different media in research and in the classroom, and develop a shared visual/sensory vocabulary. Activities have included the Controversy 150 Film Series, screenings by filmmakers, a lecture series on Black curation, podcasts, group excursions as a form of sensorial voyage, making videos our YouTube channel, and the establishment of a research nexus for the anthropology of Ottawa. Come find us on the 10th floor in FSS 10035 (to the left as you exit the elevators) or send an email to Professor Stalcup.
Que faisons-nous ?
Chaque année scolaire, un.e étudiant.e dirige nos efforts, en coordination avec ses pairs, sous la direction de la professeure Meg Stalcup. En tant que groupe, nous nous consacrons à encourager les approches basées sur le travail de terrain dans des domaines tels que l'internet, l'IA générative, les images, le son, les sens, les villes, la culture populaire, les musées et les archives. Eclectiques dans notre inspiration intellectuelle, nous sommes néanmoins investis dans la remédiation de l'anthropologie pour le 21ème siècle. Le CAM/MAC offre un espace de rencontre à l'Université d'Ottawa pour que les professeurs et les étudiants puissent poursuivre ces recherches. Tout au long de l'année universitaire, nous organisons des événements (plus ou moins) mensuels qui nous aident à conceptualiser nos projets empiriques, nous permettent de discuter des techniques d'utilisation de différents médias dans la recherche et dans la salle de classe, et de développer un vocabulaire visuel/sensoriel partagé. Les activités comprennent la série de films Controversy 150, des projections par des cinéastes, une série de conférences sur les commissaires d'exposition noir.e.s, des podcasts, des excursions de groupe comme forme de voyage sensoriel, la réalisation de vidéos sur notre chaîne YouTube, et l'établissement d'un réseau de recherche pour l'anthropologie d'Ottawa. Venez nous trouver au 10ème étage dans le FSS 10035 (à gauche en sortant des ascenseurs), ou assistez à nos événements ! Vous pouvez également envoyer un courriel à Mme Stalcup.
