Friday, April 26 2024, 8am Peabody Board Room, Administration Building The Center for Asian Studies of the University of Georgia will host early-career scholars (including advanced graduate students) to participate in an in-person one-day interdisciplinary workshop on the theme of “Mobilities, Itineraries, Circulations: Rethinking Asian Connections.” In recent years, there has been a wealth of scholarship from and about Asia on the movement of people, ideas, commodities, and objects through time and space; the politics, technologies, and infrastructures that allow or restrict these movements; and their representation in art, literature and film. This workshop seeks to bring together early-career scholars working on these topics to revisit and engage with the state-of-the-discipline(s), discuss their own contributions, share ideas and references, and receive feedback on works-in-progress in a small-group setting. Participants will read pre-circulated papers in advance (20-30 pages), and the workshop time will be devoted to providing constructive feedback. 8:00am-5:00pm, Peabody Board Room https://asianstudies.uga.edu/showcase-projects/content/2024/early-career-workshop-mobilities-itineraries-circulations-rethinking Questions?
