The Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto
Second Annual Graduate Student Conference on East Asia
Call For Papers

Asia Interacts

October 19-20, 2001

The purpose of our conference is to provide a forum for graduate students
to meet, interact and present their research in any discipline in the
Humanities and Social Sciences pertaining to East Asia. To encourage
greater participation, our conference theme is intentionally broad,
focussing on interactions of all kinds involving East Asia. This includes
East Asia's past, present and future interactions with the international
community, intra-regional interactions among various East Asian groups,
states, and societies, as well any form of domestic and trans-national
interaction in East Asia among various communities and individuals.

The conference will be held in conjunction with a round-table discussion
by graduate students on the work of the latest Nobel Prize for Literature
winner, Gao Xingjian. The round-table will be held on Friday, October
19th. Any graduate research papers on Gao Xingjian's works can be
presented separately in a conference panel on Saturday, October 20th.
