CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

DEADLINE: FRIDAY, June 1, 2007

International Conference on Inter-Asian Connections


Dubai, UAE: February 21-24, 2008


The Social Science Research Council (SSRC) is pleased to announce an
open call for proposals from faculty members at accredited universities
and colleges in any world region, to organize and direct a 4-day
thematic workshop at an international conference on "Inter-Asian
Connections." Workshop directors selected by the SSRC will be expected
to help recruit and select 8 international workshop participants from
across relevant disciplines in the social sciences and related fields.

To be held in Dubai, February 21-24, 2008, the conference will host
multiple workshops showcasing innovative research from across the social
sciences and related disciplines, on themes of particular relevance to
Asia, reconceptualized as a dynamic and interconnected historical,
geographical, and cultural formation stretching from the Middle East
through Eurasia and South Asia, to East Asia. This expanded
understanding should bring to the fore new and unanticipated research
themes and cross-regional/trans-regional connections and formations. The
conference theme of "Inter-Asian connections" is flexible enough to
encompass a wide range of projects, from explorations of inter-regional
historical and material connections (for instance, trade and migration
flows; Asian international relations; the diffusion and exchange of
ideas and ideologies), to cross-national and comparative investigations
of contemporary political, socio-cultural, and economic processes.

We invite researchers to apply to organize a workshop on a theme of
their choice. Each workshop may have one or two directors and will
include 8 participants (graduate students, junior faculty, other
researchers and scholars) chosen competitively. Workshop directors
should have sufficient research experience on the region and themes of
their proposals. The deadline for application submissions is Friday,
June 1, 2007.

The full text of the call for proposals, along with information on the
application process and selection criteria, is available at:
