We
are pleased to announce an open call for individual research
papers from researchers in any world region who wish
to participate in one of the ten thematic workshops at InterAsian Connections V:
Seoul, the fifth in this international conference series.
The conference, to be held in Seoul, South Korea, and hosted
by SNUAC, will include concurrent workshops coordinated by individual
directors and showcasing innovative research from across the social
sciences and related disciplines. Workshops will focus on themes of
particular relevance to Asia, reconceptualized as a dynamic and
interconnected historical, geographical, and cultural formation stretching
from West Asia through Eurasia and South Asia and Southeast Asia to East
Asia.
The conference structure and schedule have been designed to
enable intensive working group interactions on a specific research theme,
as well as broader interactions on topics of mutual interest and concern.
Accordingly, there will be public sessions open to the full group of
conference participants and additional scholars as well as closed workshop
sessions.

senior scholars, whether graduate students, faculty, or researchers in NGOs
or other research organizations, for the following ten workshops:
