XIXth Congress of the International Association of Buddhist Studies, Aug.

XIXth Congress of the International Association of Buddhist
Studies
August 16 to August 21, 2020
Seoul National University, Korea
FIRST
CIRCULAR: MAY 2018
Dear Colleagues,
It
is our great honor to announce that the XIXth Congress of the International
Association of Buddhist Studies will be held at Seoul National University,
Republic of Korea, from August 16th to 21st, 2020.
General
Information
This circular is being sent to all active IABS members. Please feel free
to distribute this announcement among your colleagues and graduate students so
that they are informed of this important event.
Typically
held every three years, this academic conference is the premier international
forum for scholars of Buddhism to present their research findings. This is
the first time that the IABS Congress will be hosted in Korea.
Our
website is now open (http://iabs2020.snu.ac.kr/), and will provide
you with useful information on the Congress meeting. We are now inviting
panel proposals, and a call for individual papers will follow later.
Since
all XIXth Congress participants must have a valid membership for the year 2020,
we urge prospective participants to pay their annual membership fee ahead of
the conference. All new members need to be accepted by the General
Secretary. You can find the detailed information at the IABS website
(www.iabsinfo.net).
In
addition to the membership fee, the participants will be requested to pay a
registration fee of $300. We are planning to organize an optional three-day
(two-night) tour of famous monasteries in Korea, and the fee will be set
tentatively around $200, which will include transportation, lodging in the
monasteries, and vegetarian monastic style meals. More detailed information
will be provided in the Second Circular.
For
those who wish to receive up-to-date information on the XIXth Congress, please
fill out the Mailing Request Form at http://iabs2020.snu.ac.kr/. The updated
information will be provided on the Congress website as well. The IABS will
contact its members via e-mail for future announcements and notifications,
unless postal mail is requested (see the postal address at the end of this
letter).
Academic
Program
The
purpose of the IABS Congress is to promote open discussions on new scholarly
findings in the field of Buddhist Studies. It also aims at introducing and
sharing pioneering research approaches to the field among colleagues and
prospective researchers.
In
order to accommodate a growing number of participants and to cover as many
topics as possible, we limit participation to one paper per participant. Each
participant will thus make his or her presentation in one of the designated
sessions, which are of two types: panels, consisting of papers focusing
on a specific topic suggested by a panel organizer, and sections,
consisting of individual papers grouped by the Planning Committee into broad
themes.
Each
conference day will consist of one morning session (9am - 12:30pm) and one
afternoon session (2 - 5:30pm), each with several panels and sections convening
concurrently. A panel or section will consist of five or six papers maximum,
with each paper allotted no more than 20 minutes. An additional 10 minutes for
questions and discussion will follow each presentation.
Call
for Panel Proposals
The
Planning Committee invites scholars wishing to conduct a collaborative research
project and share its results to submit panel proposals to us. Those interested
in organizing a panel should provide a 200-word description of the proposed
topic along with a tentative list of potential contributors (not counted toward
the 200-word limit). We would particularly like to encourage proposals that enhance
opportunities for younger scholars to present their work. Once panel
proposals are reviewed and accepted, the results will be announced in the
Second Circular, to be distributed in April 2019. Once the panel topics are
announced, interested parties should contact the panel organizer directly to inquire
about participating.
Panel
proposals should be sent to Eun-su Cho, Chair, Planning Committee of the XIXth
IABS Congress, Seoul National University, Dept. of Philosophy, at escho@snu.ac.kr. The deadline for
panel proposals is February 28, 2019.
Individual
Paper Proposals
The
call for individual papers will be announced in the Second Circular.
Posters
and Exhibits
Exhibition
space will be available for posters and exhibits. There will be a session
dedicated specifically to posters, during which each poster contributor will
have the opportunity to give a brief presentation to conference delegates.
Details will appear in the Second Circular.
Visa
Requirements
Visa
requirements vary according to the nationality of the visitor. The organizers
will not assist in procuring a visa.
