CALL FOR PAPERS
SECOND CONGRESS OF THE ASIAN ASSOCIATION OF WORLD HISTORIANS
EWHA CAMPUS COMPLEX, EWHA WOMANS UNIVERSITY
Seoul, Korea
26-28 April 2012
Themes:
Global Exchange Networks of Asia
and
Alternative Modernities in Asia
The Second Congress of the Asian Association of World Historians will be held April 26-28, 2012, in Seoul. The Congress Organizing Committee welcomes panel and paper proposals from all members of the AAWH, K-12 teachers, university professors, and independent scholars from all around the world as well as from scholars in related disciplines.
The congress begins with registration and a reception on Friday, April 26th. Panel sessions and other conference-related activities commence on the same day and continue to Sunday, the 28th. Information regarding registration, accommodations and the keynote speakers will begin appearing on the AAWH website, www.theAAWH.org, in late September 2011.
The themes of the congress are “Global Exchange Networks of Asia” and “Alternative Modernities in Asia.” Topics for sessions could include global exchange and connections of commodities, plants, animals, ideas, religions, technologies, arts, innovations, diseases as well as humans from/to Asia or in Asia. They also include the process of modernization in Asian countries as well as the alternative origins of modernity in Asia. While seeking proposals for sessions that explore these broad topics, we also welcome submission on the world histories of all places and time periods on many different topics including pedagogical ones. In the themes, “Asia” is broadly defined enough to include the pacific region as well as the Indian Ocean and West Asia.
The Asian Association of World Historians invites proposals from scholars and teachers from around the world for 150-minute panels (up to 4 panelists, one chair, and one discussant), single papers, and roundtables (between 4 to 5 participants). Successful sessions will reflect to the extent possible national and institutional diversity as well as gender and ethnic diversity in order to have some rare but invaluable opportunities to exchange ideas and opinions on the same topics Note that the AAWH encourages the representation of the full diversity of its membership in the congress.
Please note that all submissions before the deadline will be given equal attention, but priority will be given to full panel submissions and the proposed panels that fit into the congress themes. However, individual papers will be considered, and if accepted will be placed into panels put together by the Congress Organizing Committee.
Each proposal must include: a 250-word abstract, a one-page curriculum vitae for each participant, and a statement noting how each paper makes an original contribution to scholarship or pedagogy. Please make A/V requests at the time of the proposal submission, if necessary. As always, handouts are welcome. Proposals must be submitted using the forms and guidelines available at http://www.theAAWH.org. Guidelines for panel organizers and paper presenters are posted at http://www.theAAWH.org and should be read with care and followed.
DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS: 15 SEPTEMBER 2011. No proposal will be accepted after the deadline. Presenters must register for the conference by 1 February 2012 to be included in the program.
