The Cornell Southeast Asia Program invites submissions for its 8th Annual Southeast Asian Studies Graduate Conference. This year this annual event will be held at the Kahin Center for Advanced Research on Southeast Asia at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York on April 21-23, 2006. We welcome submissions of well-developed work from graduate students engaged in original research related to Southeast Asia. Graduate students working in the following disciplines as well as other related fields that contribute to the understanding of Southeast Asia are encouraged to apply: history, literature, art history, sociology, musicology, religion, anthropology, archeology, architectural history, gender studies, political science, economics, linguistics and literature.
We ask that prospective presenters submit a one-page abstract and curriculum vitae by January 15, 2006 to: pittayawat@cornell.edu. Papers should be in English with a reading time of no more than 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes of discussion). Final papers will be due by March 15, 2006.
