DESCRIPTION:The annual meeting of the American Association of Anthropology that brings 
 together thousands of anthropologists was scheduled for November 17-19 in 
 San Francisco. Given the workers' strike at SF Hilton hotel since September 
 for better labor conditions, anthropologists rejected the idea of crossing 
 the picket line.The board of the AAA has cancelled the meeting in SF, which 
 could add pressure on the Hilton.  A lot of anthropologists are calling for 
 autonomous meetings in SF in different locations (small hotels, union 
 halls, etc) during the very same dates, to share their work and especially 
 to get involved in the struggle of UNITE/HERE workers.  LABORATORY OF 
 ACTIVIST RESEARCH  Informal roundtable on challenges and possibilities of 
 engaged academic practices:  SPACE FOR REFLECTION & EXPERIMENTATION ON 
 RESEARCH PRACTICES AS TOOLS FOR and WITHIN SOCIAL MOVEMENTS.  Process: 
 Participatory discussion around a commonly agreed agenda. Bring ideas for 
 agenda items!   Materials: Bring concrete examples of your engaged work 
 (papers, flyers, stories, objects, works in progress, performances, etc)  
 Goals: Continue building a network for communication, skills sharing, and 
 collective projects among activist anthropologists  WHERE: UFCW Union Hall 
 at 16th and Mission (accessible by BART-16th St. stop, between Civic Center 
 & 24th)  WHEN: Friday Nov. 19. at 3pm (after the solidarity action with the 
 workers).  WHO: This is an open invitation to the participants in the 
 autonomous AAA meetings, to UNITE/HERE workers, and the grassroots 
 communities of SF in general.  CALLED BY: members of the Social Movement 
 Working Group at UNC-Chapel Hill, NC  As part of all the efforts to convene 
 autonomous meetings in SF outside of the Hilton, and in solidarity with 
 UNITE/HERE workers, we are holding an informal workshop to address the 
 challenges and possibilities of more engaged academic practices.  Using 
 what has transpired with the AAA meetings this year as an opportunity, this 
 is a call to get together as activist anthropologists and think together 
 about our work and our tactics.  This is a self-organized encounter that 
 needs everybody's participation. We will start with an agenda put together 
 by those present at the workshop (if you can not make it you can send your 
 proposal for discussion to the email contact foxg@email.unc.edu). We will 
 volunteers to facilitate, take notes and keep time.  \n
