*       The Asian Studies Development Program's 28th National Conference: Knowing Practices Intersecting Virtual Conference  LINK<https://www.eastwestcenter.org/professional-development/asian-studies-development-program/national-conference-0/2021-asdp-28th>

*       March 4-6, 2021

*       Registration fee: $150

*       Student Registration: $75

Conference Theme:
The conference theme of Knowing Practices Intersecting invites reflection on how ways of knowing develop, intersect and evolve. These include the practices of embodied knowledge in, for example, traditional healing and martial arts, calligraphy and meditation, but also scientific and historiographical methods,  emotional and aesthetic ways of knowing, the interaction of education and neuroscience, and the creation of intelligent technology innovation hubs in Korea and China. 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. Since its inception the Asian Studies Development Program has worked to forge and highlight intersections between Asian and Western traditions and proposals highlighting such intersections are especially welcomed.

Keynote Speaker:

He is a winner of the National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholars program for an upcoming book that will detail China's unofficial history. Johnson has lived in China for over 20 years as a student and journalist, writing for The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, and other publications.
