Immigration, Transnationalism, Diaspora: Issues for Asian/American Communities
University of Illinois at Chicago
March 16-17, 2007
A National Conference by the UIC chapter of Asian Pacific American Graduate Students
Organization
Submission Deadline: November 3, 2006
Building on the success of the 1st APAGSO conference held at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the 2nd conference will be held at University of Illinois at Chicago.
For this conference, we invite papers and panel proposals from across the different disciplines in arts, humanities, social sciences and sciences to engage with issues of immigration, transnationalism, and diaspora and their relevance for Asian/American communities. The conference especially encourages papers that adopt comparative or interdisciplinary approaches.
We want to explore how the modalities of immigration, transnationalism and diaspora can be productively engaged with precisely through interdisciplinary and comparative means. How are traditional ways of understanding Asian/American immigration, transnationalism, and diaspora being reimagined in diverse disciplines? What are the emerging contours of Asian/America at the conjuncture of these issues? This conference hopes to be a venue where faculty and graduate students can address Asian/American scholarship across disciplinary and methodological boundaries! .
We welcome paper or panel proposals by graduate students at any stage of their research and in any discipline. The proposal should include an assessment of where this scholarship fits within the current literature of the chosen field and how the work contributes to and/or expands the
knowledge of Asian/American experiences.
Paper Submissions should include (1) contact information (including university, year in school, address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address); (2) a 250 word abstract; and (3) a curriculum vitae and a brief biography for each presenter.
Panel Proposals should include (1) a cover sheet with contact information for the chair and each panelist (including university, year in school, address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address); (2) a one-page rationale explaining the relevance of the panel to the theme of the conference; (3) a one-page abstract for each proposed paper; and (4) a curriculum vitae and a brief biography for each presenter.
