Understanding Asia: Past and Present invites reflection on diverse

Asian cultures and societies as seen through an interdisciplinary lens

from past to present and around the globe. The conference intends

to spur a broader conversation among participants, teachers, learners,

scholars, and administrators, who aim to achieve a better understanding

of how Asian studies as an academic field continues to evolve across

interdependent spheres of investigation and analysis. We encourage

papers, panels, and posters examining both pedagogy and scholarship

focusing on the past and present philosophical and historical debates,

as well as topics relating to colonialism, imperialism, militarism, and

revolution across Asia.



Of note:  This conference will be dedicated to Henry Rosemont, Jr.,

a true scholar, colleague, and mentor to so many in the ASDP family.

An unopposed session Against Individualism, For Relationalism:

Toward an Ideal of Human Becoming Committed to Relational Justice

chaired by Roger Ames and a session A Toast to Henry will be some

of the highlights at this year's conference. Connie Rosemont will lead

a Thursday afternoon tour of the Freer -Sackler Galleries.



Our Friday keynote speaker will be Jennifer L. Turner, Director of the

China Environment Forum and Manager of the Global Choke Point

initiative, both at the Wilson Center, Washington, D.C.
