Call for Panels
The Sixth EuroSEAS Conference
August 26-28, 2010, Gothenburg, Sweden
All scholars with an interest in Southeast Asia are cordially invited to propose panels for the conference. In line with previous EuroSEAS conferences, the meeting in Gothenburg will cover a wide range of topics in all fields of social sciences and humanities. There are no limits concerning topics with Southeast Asia as a focus.
We would like to encourage at least one panel proposal which deals with the theorization of area studies and area studies as part of theory development. Participants are encouraged to contribute to no more than one panel. Experience from earlier conferences shows that panel discussions gain tremendously from having a critical mass of participants that stays for
the whole panel.
Please send your proposals to <jorgen.hellman@globalstudies.gu.se>

Diasporas - Exploring Critical Issues
July 6-9, 2009
Mansfield College, Oxford
This inter- and multi-disciplinary project seeks to explore the contemporary experience of Diasporas - communities who conceive of themselves as a national, ethnic, linguistic or other form of cultural and political construction of collective membership living outside of their 'home lands.' In particular, key issues to be addressed include: what are the defining characteristics of Diasporas and what distinguishes one from the other? What role does 'home' and 'host' cultures play in developing relationships between communities in a global environment? How new is the concept of Diasporas; does it capture new global realities or designate old phenomena in a new way? more info | Deadline: February 6, 2009
