Mountains and Rivers: Geography and Identity in East Asia
Third Annual Graduate Conference on East Asia
preceded by a round-table discussion on East Asia after September 11
October 4-5, 2002
University of Toronto
The purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for graduate students to meet and interact and to present their research within the Humanities and Social Sciences pertaining to East Asia. Discussion is encouraged on the interrelation between geography --natural or political, urban or rural, real or imaginary -- and identity.
The primary language of the conference will be English; however, a limited number of panels will be held in Chinese, Japanese or Korean. Submissions in any of these four languages are welcome.
The panel discussions will be held on October 5. The round-table discussion on "East Asia After September 11" will be held on October 4. Any research papers on this subject will be presented separately then.
Papers should be no longer than 15 minutes. Participants are encouraged to form panels of three, if possible.
Abstracts of no more than 200 words are to be submitted by July 20, 2002. Abstracts in a language other than English must be accompanied by an English translation. Abstracts and panel proposals should be submitted electronically by e-mail or as an attachment. Please also include a cover letter indicating your name, program, school, number of years in graduate studies and research interests, or include a brief, one page curriculum vitae. Papers of no more than 7 pages should be submitted electronically no later than August 20, 2002 so that panel discussants will have time to read them and prepare comments in advance. If possible, English, Japanese and Chinese papers should be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word and Korean papers in HWPW (Arae A Hangul). These papers will be considered "as is" for publication in a conference volume.
