CFP: AAS-in-ASIA 2017 (June 24-27, Seoul)
On behalf of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) and Korea University in Seoul, Korea we are pleased to invite colleagues in Asian studies to submit proposals for organized panels and roundtables (no individual paper proposals accepted) to be presented at the fourth AAS-in-ASIA Conference to be held June 24-27,  2017 at Korea University, in Seoul, Korea.
The Program Committee for the AAS-in-ASIA conference seeks proposals dealing with all regions of Asia on subjects covering a wide range of scholarly disciplines and professional fields under the theme:  "Asia in Motion: Beyond Borders and Boundaries." Modern borders are often allowed to define and divide nations, cultures, and traditions. However, both present-day experience and historical records reveal that people and goods have always moved across boundaries. Ideas and material goods, rather than being the exclusive monopoly of one region or nation, have generally been the objects of exchange, competition, and rivalry. Our proposed theme questions the fixed political boundaries of nations and states, and encourages scholars to reconsider borders as in progress and Asia as in motion. By thinking beyond borders and boundaries we enhance our understanding of how the concept of “Asia” was shaped in the past and how it is now reshaping the world.
Panels are welcomed from scholars throughout the field of Asian studies, wherever they may be based academically, and are especially encouraged from scholars representing academic communities that are relatively underrepresented in international meetings. One of the goals of this AAS-in-ASIA conference is to foster lines of dialogue and scholarly communication that cross the ordinary (often nation-specific) boundaries of academic networks. Please note: The program committee will strongly favor and give preference to proposals that include participants from two or more countries, whether the panel focuses on a single nation or culture or focuses on some comparative dimension. The program discourages panel proposals from a group of scholars coming from the same institution. Generally speaking, panels with diverse (gender, academic rank, national origin, disciplinary approach) participation will be favored over narrowly constructed panels. Panels that address topics of broad relevance will also be preferred.
The deadline for proposal submissions is October 31, 2016 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the proposal submission website. After submission, your proposal will be forwarded to program committee for review. You will find detailed instructions for submission at the AAS website.
If you have any question regarding panel participation that is not answered in this Call for Proposals or FAQ, please submit your question to Dr. Robert Snow, AAS Director of Outreach and Strategic Initiatives, at rsnow at asian-studies.
For technical assistance regarding use of the application submission system, contact the AAS at aasinasia at asian-studies.org.
We look forward to your colleagueship at the 2017 AAS-in-ASIA conference in Seoul, Korea.
