Interdisciplinary proposals are also welcome. In addition, the conference will feature a Teaching Asia Workshop, concerts, art exhibitions and cultural events.

Presentation topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Notions of hybridity
• Diaspora and migration
• Global Asian cosmopolitanisms/transnational cultures
• Impact of globalization

The deadline for submission is April 7, 2014.
