“ Nationalism, Culture,
and Identity:
New Boundaries in Asia”
Friday, October 10- Saturday, October 11, 2008
The Arizona State University Center for Asian Research
and Department of Religious Studies, with the support of
the Institute for Humanities Research, Center for Religion
and
Conflict, and the School of Human Evolution and Social
Change are pleased to host its first annual Asian Studies
Graduate Student Conference
entitled “Nationalism,
Culture, and Identity: New Boundaries in Asia.” This conference
is an opportunity for graduate students from across the country to
present their current research projects related to the topics of culture,
nationalism, and identity. More broadly, the conference seeks to explore
the meanings and applications of the term Asia. By juxtaposing these
three areas of research, the conference looks to draw out original
and intriguing questions pertaining to the study of Asia in general
as well as specific locales. For more information, please click here.
