CCSEAS CONFERENCE 2009 | CALL FOR PAPERS

The CCSEAS conference is Canada’s largest meeting of researchers concerned with Southeast Asia and the region’s connections with the rest of the world. The conference will feature leading researchers from across the country and around the world. We look forward to welcoming all researchers, students, and activists with an interest in Southeast Asia.

The keynote address at the conference will be delivered by Alexander Woodside, UBC professor emeritus and distinguished historian of Vietnam.

Individual paper submissions for the conference will be accepted, but we also encourage proposals for organized sessions. For paper presentation sessions, we encourage organizers to identify three papers per session in order to facilitate greater panel coherence and discussion. The program committee will also be open to proposals for other session formats, such as panel discussions or cultural performances.  For further details on the submission of abstracts for papers, sessions or panels, go to Abstract Submission.

DISSERTATION WORKSHOP FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

The ChATSEA project (Challenges of the Agrarian Transition in Southeast Asia) will be holding a dissertation writing workshop in Vancouver immediately after the CCSEAS conference. If you are a PhD student and your work involves aspects of agrarian change, then you may wish to consider applying to the workshop. Full
details are available here.

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstracts for papers and sessions can now be submitted. 
The deadline for session proposal and individual paper submissions will be 17 April 2009.
