CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Asia Intertwined: The 16th Annual Harvard East Asia Society Conference
Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA
February 22nd - 24th, 2013

The Harvard East Asia Society invites currently enrolled graduate students
from around the world, working across all disciplines to submit papers for
its annual conference, which will be held on the weekend of February 22nd
-24th, 2013 at Harvard University.

This year, the committee invites papers that are interdisciplinary in
scope, and which explore and challenge the notion of East Asia as a
discrete geographical region that can be cleanly and definitively
periodized. Preference will be given to papers that locate their subjects
within a broader Asian context, and which reconsider cultural, historical
and political connections across space and time.

The HEAS Graduate Student Conference is an annual event which provides an
interdisciplinary forum for graduate students to exchange ideas and
discuss current research on East Asia. The conference allows young
scholars to present their research to both their peers and to eminent
scholars in East Asian Studies. All panels will be moderated by Harvard
University faculty. The conference will also allow participants to meet
others in their field conducting similar research and to forge new
professional relationships.

Eligibility Application Guidelines:
1.  Applicants must be currently enrolled in a program of graduate study
("postgraduate" in British degree classification systems).
2.  Papers must be related to East or Inner Asia.
3.  Please complete and submit the HEAS Individual Paper Application Form
(found at: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~heas/conference/index.html) with an

words, to heas.absracts at gmail.com by November 18th, 2012. Abstracts over
