We are pleased to announce an open call for individual research papers from researchers in any world region who wish to participate in one of the ten thematic workshops at InterAsian Connections V: Seoul, the fifth in this international conference series.
The conference, to be held in Seoul, South Korea, and hosted by SNUAC, will include concurrent workshops coordinated by individual directors and showcasing innovative research from across the social sciences and related disciplines. Workshops will focus on themes of particular relevance to Asia, reconceptualized as a dynamic and interconnected historical, geographical, and cultural formation stretching from West Asia through Eurasia and South Asia and Southeast Asia to East Asia.
