The ‘1st International Conference on Villains and Villainy’ will be held at Mansfield College, Oxford on 19-21 September 2009. Papers are requested on ‘all aspects of villains and villainy’, and the proposed theme on ‘incarnations of the villainous’ would surely be incomplete without a liberal sprinkling of tricksters, impostors and identity thieves, in particular new readings of cause célébres such as the affair of the Tichborne Claimant (pictured).

The American Anthropological Association Annual Meeting will take place in Philadelphia on 2-6 December 2009, and a panel has been proposed on the theme of ‘Political Identities, Legal Identifications and Anthropological Practice’.
