• CONFERENCE THEME: The Multicolored Tapestry of Asia: Traditions, Conversations, and Development

One of the ancient records of human civilization, the history of Asia comprises many vast strands of influences—cultural, geo-political, philosophical, technological, and artistic. Asia was, and continues to be, a site of vibrant intercontinental encounters—where the West meets the East—and cross-cultural exchanges give rise to a series of collaboration, innovation, mutual understandings, as well as debates and conflicts. Therefore, the Asian Studies Conference invites students, faculty members, independent scholars, and administrators to contribute to this ongoing, interdisciplinary reflection on, and conversation about, Asia’s past, present, and future in the context of globalization and multiculturalism.

• PROPOSAL GUIDELINES

We welcome individual papers, panels, and posters exploring and examining topics relating to Asian cultures and societies, as are suggested, but not limited to:

• Agriculture
• Business and Finance

• Philosophy
• Politics and Political History
• Popular Culture and Contemporary Trends
• Religion and Mythology
• The Arts and Humanities
