In an increasingly globalized Asia, the impact of social change because of the economic, industrial and political developments among the nations that are located within it has been rapid and immense. Within a span of just over a century, Asia has been a major site of colonialism and decolonization; global warfare; political upheaval and regime change; the rise of new nations; ongoing ethnic and religious conflict; economic boom and recession; population explosion; cultural diasporas; viral epidemics; technological advancement; and severe environmental pollution and disasters.
This inaugural 3-day symposium will provide an interdisciplinary platform for academics, researchers, policy makers, students and interested community members. With the theme Culture, Education and Policy: Agents of Change, the symposium will be a wonderful opportunity to explore current research, trends, and insights about this phenomenon while expanding your professional networks. We welcome submissions of 250 words in English by Friday, February 5, 2016 on these areas: Area Studies Asian Studies Cultural Studies Cultural and Human Geography Diaspora, Migration and Identity Education Educational Measurement and Evaluation Education Technology and Globalization Energy and Environmental Policy Equity and Social Justice ESL / EFL Education Further / Higher Education Gender and Sexuality Healthcare and Social Support Human Rights, Poverty and Hunger Linguistics, Literature and Culture New Social Movements Politics and Conflict Popular Culture Population and Aging Public Policy Sociology and Social Work Sustainable Development Teacher Education Urban Studies Other Areas (please specify) |
