Date: June 22-24, 2015
Venue: Humanities and Social Sciences Building, Academia Sinica
Academia Sinica and the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) are jointly organizing the 2015 2nd AAS-in-Asia conference: “Asia in Motion: Ideas, Institutions, Identities”. The three “I”s herein represent the challenges that Asia is facing and the possible contributions it could make in the rapid changes of globalization. The theme has attracted many panel and roundtable proposals of broad and diverse interests. We proudly announce that from June 22 to 24, 2015, more than six hundred scholars of humanities and social sciences, as well as specialists from professional fields such as policymaking and film industry, will participate in this event.
The 2nd AAS-in-Asia has panels and roundtables dealing with the four regions covered by AAS (China and Inner Asia, Northeast Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia) and on subjects from a wide range of scholarly disciplines and professional fields. Apart from local scholars of Taiwan, there are scholars coming from America, Europe, and most importantly, many countries of Asia. This event truly brings together scholars and specialists from different parts of the world and hopefully will lead to collaborations and scholarly exchanges in the future.
We are honored to have Professor Hamashita Takeshi to be the keynote speaker of the conference. He will speak on “Diverging Asian Studies from Local, Regional, and Global Perspectives, 1945-2015.” This year the conference will also inaugurate the AAS-in-Asia Lifetime Achievement Award, which will be presented to Professor Chi Pang-yuan in recognition of her contributions to Taiwanese literature.
