Asian Studies Online Consortium Student Conference 2022:
Peace, Development, Partnership in Asia: Post-Pandemic Future
Globalization and regionalism have brought major changes to Asian politics, economy, and society; COVID-19 is also promoting such trends. At the same time, international cooperation and regionalism are being harmonized amid the dynamic and rapid changes in international relations. The Russian invasion of Ukraine added a new page to these changes. While development and partnerships are essential for a growing Asia, peace and stability have been increasingly important in the region.
This conference will examine, in the midst of radical change in international relations, peace, development, and partnership in Asia through examining specific cases and issues in political science, economics, international relations, sociology, history, anthropology, development studies, cultural studies, and humanities.
The ASOC Student Conference is an online conference for undergraduate and graduate students. The purpose of this conference is for students in Asia to present their research topics and engage in communication and collaboration with Asian colleagues. The conference also welcomes related papers coming from American and European students in comparative perspectives with Asia. Thus, the conference will bring together researchers and students affiliated with Asian universities and those who aspire to pursue Asian Studies to discuss issues in Asia.
The conference will take place on November 18, Friday, and November 19, Saturday. This is a two-day online conference. Highschool, undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students are eligible to apply.
We have two presentation categories: research presentation and lightning talks. A research presentation discusses an elaborate and more developed study in 20minutes. A lightning talk is suitable for those whose study is in the early stages of research, and is a 5-minute presentation or a brief introduction of the study. We are eagerly awaiting your abstract submissions!!
