The Program Committee for the 44th Annual Conference of Asian Studies on the Pacific Coast (ASPAC) has invited proposals for individual papers, panels, and roundtables on all aspects of Asian Studies, and particularly encourages proposals that provide opportunities for discussion of methodological issues across regional and disciplinary boundaries.
As the term "sustainability" has been applied to a wide array of phenomena — from economies and political systems to social and cultural institutions and practices — we employ the concept to provoke reflection on the contemporary state of Asian Studies and to consider future directions shaped by technological and methodological transformations experienced globally. For example, how do Asian and Asian-American Studies intersect? What does Asian Studies — like other area studies — offer the disciplines? What can the disciplines learn from Asian Studies?
In addition to proposals that address such questions, we have also welcomed proposals on all aspects of Asian Studies from any regional or disciplinary focus.
