> are pleased to announce a joint conference, “Shaping Futures: East

> This inter-regional collaboration takes the task of shaping futures as 
> a crucial responsibility for anthropologists. In placing that 
> responsibility under the rubric of “East Asia as Practice,” we assume 
> the ongoing intergenerational dynamism that actively creates futures. 
>  We place mentoring–both vertical and lateral–as central to the 
> processes and structure of this future-focused conference. We not only 
> have a pre-conference specifically designed by and for graduate 
> students, but also structure the whole conference in a way that 
> encourages intergenerational, interregional conversations. In short, 
> we take “shaping futures” as an assertion, a responsibility, a 
> platform for community, and a call to action. Those futures include 
> overlapping issues of:
>
>   * Mentoring relationships
>   * Transnational ties that bind
>   * Diasporas and their possibilities
>   * Interlingual responsibilities
>   * Political activism and scholarship
>   * Race and racism in 21^st century East Asian lives
>   * East Asian colonialisms,  Indigeneities, and (co)ethnic politics
>   * Migration and the geopolitical dynamics of border-crossing
>   * Culinary futures: localism, regionalism, globalism
>   * Pasts and their consumption: cultural heritage, urban renewal, tourism
>   * Religious transformations and spiritual practices
>   * Affects, trauma, and healing
>   * Sexualities, violence, interventions
>   * Queer futures
>   * Declining birth rates, societal aging, and shifting care regimes
>   *  Digital worlds (social media, virtual reality, metaverses, etc.)
>   * Automation, robots, and AI
>   * Inter-species futures, human-animal relations, and their ethics
>   * Environmental sustainability and climate action
>   * Well-being amidst an era of anxieties
>
>
> Our list is long as we commit to creating interactive, dialogic spaces 
> of inclusion and collaboration that not only reflect upon scholarship, 
> but place it within critical modes of engagement.  Please join us in 
> conversation and community that together constitute “Shaping Futures.”
