Call for Papers: Deadline May 1, 2012

The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global partners is proud to announce the Second Asian Conference on Asian Studies to be held from June 1-3 2012, at the Ramada Osaka, Osaka, Japan.

Hear the latest research, publish before a global audience, present in a supportive environment, network, engage in new relationships, experience Japan, explore Osaka and Kyoto, join a global academic community...

Conference Theme: "Encounters and Exchanges"

The aim of this International Conference on Asian studies is to encourage academics, scholars and practitioners representing a exciting diversity of countries, cultures, and religions to meet and exchange research, ideas and views in a forum encouraging respectful dialogue. ACAS 2012 will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond.

We hope that the conference theme will again encourage academic and personal encounters and exchanges across national, religious, cultural and disciplinary divides. We look forward to seeing you (again) in Osaka in 2012!
