CALL FOR PAPERS

State University of New York at New Paltz
Plan NOW to participate in NYCAS 2012!
EARLY submission of panels and papers is encouraged!
The deadline for submitting proposals is May 15, 2012.
The State University of New York at New Paltz will host the 48th
annual meeting of the New York Conference on Asian Studies (NYCAS) on
September 28-29, 2012
The NYCAS 2012 program committee invites proposals for panels,
roundtables, and individual papers on _all aspects of Asian and
Asian-American history, culture, and contemporary life,_ representing
disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and professional
schools. Interdisciplinary proposals are also welcome.
The theme for NYCAS 2012 at SUNY New Paltz is CONTESTING TRADITION. We
invite scholars working in all areas and disciplines of Asian Studies
and Asian American Studies to submit proposals for individual papers,
panels, and roundtables that engage this theme in innovative and
provocative ways. Graduate students and scholars working in the areas
of South and Southeast Asia are especially encouraged to apply.
Topics may include, but are by no means limited to, the following:
. Interrogation of tradition-bound social and gender roles in Asian
political and economic discourses, art and popular media
. Resistance to established canons and epistemological models in all
areas of knowledge and cultural production or social science
. Contested religious, philosophical or cultural traditions, religious
sites, or cultural properties across borders
. Invented traditions and their political, social, historical, or
cultural repercussions
The deadline for all paper, panel, and roundtable submissions is May 15,
2012.
