CFP U Illinois: Graduate Symposium on Asian Studies (USA)

ConferencesCall for proposals: Transcending Boundaries: The State of Interconnections in Studies of Global Asia, 13 April 2024, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL. Deadline: 24 December 2023.

The Asian Studies Group announces the call for papers for the graduate symposium: “Transcending Boundaries: The State of Interconnections in Studies of Global Asia.” This year’s theme calls for research that goes beyond established borders of knowledge, expanding deep interconnections in people’s lived experiences across time, spaces, and identities. Boundaries can take many forms, such as social conditions of exclusion and discrimination, unequal access to capital and safety, or canonical narratives imposed on our epistemology to understand the world. This symposium poses the following question: what boundaries restrict our research methodologies and epistemologies, and what is to be gained by transcending such boundaries shaped by disciplines, ideologies, and everyday experiences in our societies? Organizers invite presenters to identify the boundaries they aim to cross in their research and how these boundaries perpetuate narratives that might constrain our vision and isolate us from generating collective change.
