CFP: THE 10TH ASIAN CONFERENCE ON ASIAN STUDIES (ACAS2020)

The 10th Asian Conference on Asian Studies (ACAS2020)
May 27-30, 2020 | Toshi Center Hotel, Tokyo, Japan

Held in partnership with the IAFOR Research Centre at the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) at Osaka University, this international conference encourages academics and scholars to meet and exchange ideas and views in a forum stimulating respectful dialogue. This event will afford an exceptional opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, networking, and facilitating partnerships across national and disciplinary borders.

Since its founding in 2009, IAFOR has brought people and ideas together in a variety of events and platforms to promote and celebrate interdisciplinary study, and underline its importance. Over the past year we have engaged in many cross-sectoral projects, including those with universities (the University of Barcelona, Hofstra University, UCL, University of Belgrade and Moscow State University), a think tank (the East-West Center), as well as collaborative projects with the United Nations in New York, and here, with the Government of Japan through the Prime Minister’s office.

With the IAFOR Research Centre, we have engaged in a number of interdisciplinary initiatives we believe will have an important impact on domestic and international public policy conversations. It is through conferences like these that we expand our network and partners, and we have no doubt that ACAS2020 will offer a remarkable opportunity for the sharing of research and best practice, and for the meeting of people and ideas.

The 10th Asian Conference on Asian Studies (ACAS2020) will be held alongside The 10th Asian Conference on Cultural Studies (ACCS2020). Registration for either conference will allow delegates to attend sessions in the other.
