The deadline for paper/panel proposals has been extended to June 1, 2001.

This being a conference of people in the profession of "knowing Asia," we encourage papers that explicitly address methodologies used to analyze and present knowledge about Asia. And also, in another sense, perspectives on global issues that arise from Asian materials and experience as to how the world is known from Asia; "knowing" can be read as either a verb or an adjective. This "knowing" can be contextualized in terms of research and scholarly work, of pedagogy and the practice of teaching, of the application of academic knowledge to current issues and public affairs, or how the internet has affected the way knowledge from and about Asia circulates and is formulated.

Themes include:

Language and Linguistics, Literature, Government and Politics, Gender, State Religion and Ideology, Popular Religion, Business and Trade Diplomacy, Warfare, Urban and Rural Societies, Upland and Lowland Societies, Historical Writing and Formulations of the Past, Popular Culture
