In Trump’s “World as Real Estate” worldview, people, products, and parcels of land are what drive the “art of the deal.”  From the Dreamers and the contentious end to DACA, to Syrian refugees stopped at the border or let to drown at sea; from the climate refugees, leaving their beloved Puerto Rico, to the White House’s egregious removal of environmental protections over the ancestral lands of Bears Ears and Escalante.  The struggle over possession and use of lands, recognition and status of humans forcibly relocated, and the blatant human rights violations of an increasingly-global gentrification agenda have reached an epic capitalistic crest.  As applied anthropologists it is our duty to look for solutions to these most serious concerns; solutions which take into account humans as well as the environment and other forms of life.  In an attempt to demonstrate due diligence and look critically into these issues, we invite abstracts for presentations via formal papers, visual documentary, music, poetry, literature, and performative theatre. We also welcome individual, group, community, academic, government and policy-based demonstrations, presentations, performances and workshops.
