Ninth Annual Trans-Asia Graduate Student Conference

Ingraham Hall 206

ASIA: Transcending Boundaries

The Trans-Asia Graduate Student Association is pleased to announce the Ninth Annual Trans-Asia Graduate Student Conference at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, encompassing Asia-related research across a wide range of fields. Participants will have a valuable opportunity to share work with and receive feedback from peers and senior researchers as well as to gain insight into recent developments in Asia-related research across various disciplines. This year’s conference aims to provide broader insight into Asian studies by exploring Asia-related themes through the prism of “transcending boundaries” in the broadest sense.

Potential subjects may include but are not limited to: periods of political, social and cultural boundary transcendence, migrations and cultural influences within or outside Asia, transcending boundaries within methodologies. Taking the participants’ specific fields of study as a starting point, we want to look for various perspectives and inspiration on Asian studies. Potential fields may include, but are not limited to: literature, linguistics, history, art history, geography, philosophy, economics, anthropology, sociology, education and any other related humanities and social science fields.

The mode of the conference: Hybrid. While we encourage in-person presentations, online participation is possible.

Keynote speaker:

Dr. Paul Vierthaler
Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies
College of William & Mary
