Asia Transforming: Old Values and New Presences
Hofstra University
Hempstead, NY

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, September 18-20, 2014

The Hofstra Cultural Center, the New York Conference on Asian Studies
(NYCAS) and the Mid-Atlantic Region Association for Asian Studies (MAR/AAS)
are proud to present an international conference that contemplates how
ongoing economic, social and political transformations have challenged
present-day perceptions of Asian cultural identities.

The program committee invites proposals for panels, round-tables, and
individual papers on all aspects of Asian and Asian-American history,
culture, and contemporary life, representing disciplines in the humanities,
social sciences, and professional schools. Interdisciplinary proposals are
also welcome. In addition, the conference will feature a Teaching Asia
Workshop, concerts, art exhibitions and cultural events.

Presentation topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

.      Notions of hybridity
.      Diaspora and migration
.      Global Asian cosmopolitanisms/transnational cultures
.      Impact of globalization

The deadline for submission of proposals for individual papers, panels, and
round-tables is April 7, 2014. For proposal submission, please visit
