[asiacouncil] Reminder: 15 November abstract deadline (ASDP Meeting, ATL)

[Eric Spears]

*(Apologies for cross-posting)*

Colleagues,

The USG Asia Council is co-organizing the upcoming national Asian Studies
Development Program (ASDP) meeting with the East-West Center's ASDP.  It
would be great to see a positive turnout in submissions and attendance at
this year's conference!

*Call for Abstracts/Papers: 27th Asian Studies Development Program
Conference *
*5-7 March 2020*
*Atlanta, Georgia*
*Abstract Deadline: 15 November 2019*


The theme *Understanding Asia, Asian Understandings: Perspectives Past and
Present* invites reflection on the effects of perspective on cultural
interactions and how unshared assumptions often frame geographic,
historical, artistic, literary, philosophical, and social scientific
accounts of those interactions.

The ASDP National 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 both scholarly and pedagogical approaches in examining the
diversity of Asian cultures and societies, as well as the diversity of
perspectives on Asia, especially those that adopt interdisciplinary lenses,
including Asian encounters with such global phenomena as human geography,
science, colonialism, imperialism, militarism, industrialization, and
revolution.

Of particular interest are presentations that investigate how:

   - new scholarship sheds distinctive light on familiar aspects of the
   Asian cultural, historical, and social canon


   - Asian narratives addressing art, music, culture, philosophy, and the
   sciences gain depth when re-positioned within interdisciplinary perspectives


   - Asian perspectives shed new and perhaps critical light on traditions
   with other-than-Asian origins
