Inter-Asian Connections III: Hong Kong (June 6-8, 2012)
The Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (HKIHSS) at the University of Hong Kong, the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) (the Organizers) are pleased to announce an open call for proposals from faculty members at accredited universities and colleges in any world region to organize and direct one of four thematic workshops at a 3-day international conference entitled "Inter-Asian Connections III."
Following on successful conferences held in Dubai in February 2008 and Singapore in December 2010, this conference will be held in Hong Kong in June 2012. The conference aims to showcase innovative research from across the social sciences and related disciplines on themes of particular relevance to Asia, re-conceptualized as a dynamic and interconnected historical, geographical, and cultural formation stretching from the Middle East through Eurasia, South Asia and Southeast Asia, to East Asia.
Proposals are invited from faculty interested in organizing and directing a workshop on one of the following four themes:
1) New Politics of Inequality
2) Globalizing Asia
3) Security and Insecurity
4) Old Histories, New Geographies
Each workshop should have two directors (with different institutional affiliations and preferably representing different disciplines) and if selected will be expected to help recruit and choose 10 international workshop participants (senior and junior scholars, graduate students, other researchers) competitively from across relevant disciplines in the social sciences and related fields.
The full text of the call for proposals, along with information on the application process and eligibility can be found on the program's website
