This year's interdisciplinary Graduate Student Symposium invites an exploration of the diverse and dynamic ways in which Southeast Asia has undergone and continues to experience transformative shifts. By looking at the links between "Moments" and "Movements", we hope to elucidate what contributes to and challenges our notions of Southeast Asia, whether through transgressing state, cultural, or ethnic boundaries, revisiting and reinterpreting historical narratives, or by looking at how change is being culturally re-presented and discursively mobilized today.
Prospective presenters are encouraged to send a one-page abstract and curriculum vitae by February 22, 2003 to: SEAP@cornell.edu. Papers should be in English with a reading time of no more than 20 minutes.
Small travel grants are available.
