Upcoming Conferences and Meetings in Asia

Venue: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

In our hyper-globalised age of shifting borders and hybridised identities, we nonetheless continue to map the world, sociopolitically and culturally as much as physically. What conceptual tools might emerge from an exercise of "transcultural mappings"? Can it represent a possible way through a certain postmodern and postcolonial impasse? What factors might determine how these mappings occur and how they evolve?

"Transcultural Mappings : emerging issues in comparative, transnational and area studies" aims to track why and how such debates have gained prominence in transnational, area and comparative cultural studies as well as to consider the methodological and ideological implications of such theoretical reworkings.

The conference will address critically important issues related to globalization in the world today, as well as focusing on a special theme - Crisis and Global Rebalancing: East Asia and 21C Globalisation. Plenary Speakers include some of the leading thinkers in global studies, as well as numerous paper, colloquium and workshop presentations.

Participants are also welcome to submit a presentation proposal either for a 30-minute paper, 60-minute workshop, or jointly presented 90-minute colloquium session. Parallel sessions are loosely grouped into streams reflecting different perspectives or disciplines. Each stream also has its own talking circle, a forum for focused discussion of issues. For those unable to attend the Conference in person, virtual participation is also available.

Presenters may choose to submit written papers to The Global Studies Journal, a fully refereed academic Journal. Virtual participants also have the option to submit papers for consideration by the Journal. All registered Conference participants receive a complimentary online subscription to the Journal when registration is finalised. This subscription is valid until one year after the Conference end date.

This is a Conference for any person with an interest in, and concern for, the question of globalization - including researchers, teachers and graduate students. All are encouraged to register and attend this significant and timely Conference. Accommodation options are also available.
