*ABOUT MASN:*

MASN was initiated by an international group of anthropology
(social/cultural) and ethnology students in 2005. The network is functioning
on two main levels. Through its *website* (www.movinganthropology.de), which
includes more than 1300 students worldwide, providing space for discussion,
and exchange of info. Secondly, MASN connects *undergraduate, MA, and PhD* *
students* through *international conferences*, where they can exchange their
research experience and ideas face-to-face. Up to now, there have been five
conferences organised (in Austria, Croatia, Poland, Germany, and Italy –
upcoming in May 2008). MASN was created to constructively connect students
of ethnology and anthropology, and others interested in its ways and topics,
independently from institutional spheres and already established academic
hierarchies.



*ABOUT MASN SLOVENIA:*

The conference is organised by students of the Department of Ethnology and
Cultural Anthropology, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, through
Organisation ŠKUC (www.skuc.org), and will be held at the Slovenian-Croatian
border, in the smallest Slovenian municipality of Osilnica. Following the
first three days (papers, workshops, roundtables), we will organise a short
2-day "fieldwork" on both sides of the border. On August 24th there will be
bus transport organised to Ljubljana (the capital city), where we will have
the opportunity to participate at the *EASA (European Association of Social
Anthropologists) conference*, to be held in Ljubljana from August 26th – 30
th 2008 (for further information on EASA see www.easa2008.eu).
