Call for Papers
The 2005 Vietnam Update will be held on 11-12 August at the Australian National University, Canberra. Jointly organized by the Australian National University and the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, the Vietnam Update is a series of annual conferences that focus on recent economic and political conditions in Vietnam and analyze a select theme of particular relevance to Vietnam's socio-economic development. This year's theme is titled: "Not by Rice Alone: Making sense of spirituality in reform era Vietnam." We are now soliciting proposals for eight papers on this topic. These papers are be presented at the conference in Canberra in August 2005 and, subject to meeting publication requirements, will be published in a refereed edited volume.
The attached call for papers elaborates on the theme and outlines what is expected of paper presenters.
The organizers invite interested writers to submit paper proposals with a one page CV. Each proposal should not exceed 600 words. The proposal should outline the scope of the paper, the kind of research it will be based on, and how it relates to the issues highlighted in the call for papers.
The deadline for submitting proposals is 15 February 2005.
