Submissions have now closed.
Villanova University and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Association for Asian Studies announce the call for papers for the 49th annual regional conference. As many campuses are preparing for in-person classes, we feel we can hold an in-person conference in October with certain safety protocols in place. Amidst the coronavirus epidemic and the various democratic movements that have rocked Asia from Hong Kong to New Delhi, the conference theme “Asia on the Move: From Grassroots to Global” aims to explore various interdisciplinary studies that combine perspectives from politics, environment, public health, territorial issues, migration, popular culture, gender, sexuality, religious practices, and more. We encourage proposals from any discipline and welcome participation from faculty, students, independent scholars, and professionals. We especially encourage panels with innovative combinations of individuals and fields.
