"Inter-Asian Connections." (Full text of Call for Proposals attached.)
Following on the successful inaugural conference held in Dubai in
February 2008, this second conference will be held in Singapore on

particular relevance to Asia, re-conceptualized as a dynamic and
interconnected historical, geographical, and cultural formation
stretching from the Middle East through Eurasia, South Asia and
Southeast Asia, to East Asia.
Each workshop may have one or two directors, and selected workshop
directors will be expected to help recruit and select 8 international
workshop participants (senior and junior scholars, graduate students,
other researchers) from across relevant disciplines in the social
sciences and related fields. Proposals are invited from faculty
interested in organizing and directing a workshop on one of the
following 6 themes:
1) Transnational Knowledge Economies
2) Translocal Trust Networks, Religion and Law
3) Urban Ecologies in Asia's Cities
4) Security and Insecurity
5) Migration: Mobilities and Displacements
6) Old Histories, New Geographies
