Call for Papers

The University of San Francisco Center for Asia Pacific Studies is pleased
to announce the call for papers for “Negotiating Identities:  Mixed-Race
Individuals in China, Japan, and Korea” a conference to be held at the
University of San Francisco on Thursday and Friday, April 14 - 15, 2016.

The highlight of the conference will be a keynote address by Emma Teng,
Professor of History and Asian Civilizations, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT).

With this conference, the Center plans to provide a forum for academic
discussions and the sharing of the latest research on the history and life
experiences of mixed-race individuals in China, Japan, and Korea. The
conference is designed to promote greater understanding of the
cross-cultural encounters that led to the creation of interracial families
and encourage research that examines how mixed-race individuals living in
East Asia have negotiated their identities.  Scholars working on the
contemporary period are also welcome to apply.

All participants will be expected to provide a draft of their paper
approximately 4 weeks before the conference to allow discussants adequate
time to prepare their comments before the conference.

Participants will be invited to submit their original research for
consideration in the Center’s peer-reviewed journal, Asia Pacific
