The Third Asian Conference on Arts and Humanities in 2012 aims to build on the strengths and successes of the 2011 conference by offering a true celebration of interdisciplinary study in a stimulating scholarly environment, and in the wonderfully rich physical and cultural environment of Japan. This international conference will again bring together a number of university scholars working throughout Japan, Asia, and beyond to share ideas and forge working relationships with each other.

This year’s conference’s new theme is “Encounters and Exchanges, and the organizers hope for these topics to inspire and drive next year’s event.

**Call for papers: Deadline Extended to February 1, 2012**

The conference offers the suggestion of an
optional theme to concentrate the mind; Exchanges and Encounters, and the
organizers encourage submissions that approach
this theme from a variety of perspectives.
However, the submission of other topics for
consideration is welcome and we also encourage
sessions within and across a variety of
inter/disciplinary and theoretical perspectives.

Please note: ACAH 2012 will be held alongside
LibrAsia 2012 (The Asian Conference on Literature
and Librarianship) and registrants for either
conference will be given the opportunity to attend
sessions in the parallel event at no extra charge.
