PhD students are invited to send abstracts by November 1 for the Workshop, “Where is Home? Place, Belonging and Citizenship in the Asian Century, ” 22-23 March 2013 at Hong Kong Baptist University.
In March 2013, Hong Kong Baptist University, the University of Amsterdam, the International Institute for Asian Studies and the Institute for Culture and Society of the University of Western Sydney will hold a two-day workshop examining the transformations of place-making and cultural citizenship in the era of Asian influence. During the first day, leading scholars in the field of cultural studies from different localities in Asia, including Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia and South Korea, will explore the notion of place and citizenship in the context of the geopolitical shifts that are taking place today.
In the second day of the workshop, PhD students are invited to present and discuss their work with these scholars. This call for papers is for PhD students to submit their abstract.
