The Call for Proposals is now open for the Inaugural AAS-in-Asia
Conference:
ASIA IN MOTION: HERITAGE AND TRANSFORMATION
at the
National University of Singapore, July 17-19, 2014
The Association for
Asian Studies (AAS), the Asia Research Institute (ARI), and the Faculty of Arts
and Social Sciences (FASS) of the National University of Singapore are pleased
to announce the inaugural AAS-in-Asia conference, "Asia in Motion: Heritage and
Transformation." We seek to attract a wide range of panel proposals from
humanists and social scientists, as well as reflective practitioners from the
worlds of policy, civil society, journalism, and other professional
fields.
The AAS-in-Asia conference will build upon emerging visions and
trends in Asian studies within Asia. By bringing together scholars and
specialists on Asia within Asia as well as from other parts of the world at a
gathering in Asia, we hope to spark new and fruitful collaborations. The AAS
also expects to reach out to scholars of Asia who might not usually attend an
AAS conference in North America. It is our hope that the conference will
stimulate new networks among scholars within Asia and beyond, providing broader
inter-continental connections for the future of Asian studies.
Please
note: If you have already submitted a proposal for the 2014 AAS Annual
Conference in Philadelphia, you are still eligible to submit a proposal for
consideration for the AAS-in-Asia conference in Singapore.

The deadline for
proposal submission is October 31, 2013 at 5:00pm E.S.T.
We look forward
to seeing you in Singapore!!
