CfP: Tenth Annual Trans-Asia Graduate Student Conference: Bridging Glocal Asias

Share:

        The Trans-Asia Graduate Student Association is pleased to announce the Tenth Annual Trans-Asia Graduate Student Conference at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, encompassing Asia-related research. Participants will have the opportunity to present their work, receive constructive feedback from peers and senior researchers, and gain insights into the latest developments in interdisciplinary Asia-related research.

        This year’s theme, “Bridging Glocal Asias,” encourages conversations about connections and interconnections, balance and imbalance, micro and macro tendencies and perspectives across and within regions of Asia. “Glocal,” a fusion of “global” and “local,” seeks to delve into the potential intersections between the global and local spheres. It encapsulates the complex interconnectedness and recognition that characterize the interplay between global and local dimensions, seeking a re-examination of the “trans-” from the perspective of the “periphery” across time and space. 

        We seek research that surpasses established boundaries of disciplines, ideologies, and knowledge, uncovering potential connections, fostering exchanges, and facilitating dialogues. Potential fields include, but are not limited to: literature, linguistics, history, art history, geography, philosophy, economics, anthropology, sociology, education and any other related humanities and social science fields.

Keynote Speakers: 
        Howard Chiang
        Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultural Studies 
        Lai Ho & Wu Cho-liu Endowed Chair in Taiwan Studies
        University of California, Santa Barbara

        Trent Walker
        Assistant Professor of Southeast Asian Studies
        Thai Professor of Theravada Buddhism
        University of Michigan
