Dear All,
The University of Auckland is hosting the 26th NZASIA Biennial International Conference. Please see the below call for paper or visit our website https://www.nzasia.org.nz/conferences.html#forthcoming for more information:
Comprehending the Past, Confronting the Future
The New Zealand Asian Studies Society is pleased to announce a call for papers and panel abstract submissions for its 26th Biennial Conference to be held in Auckland from 1 December to 3 December, 2025. This year’s conference will be hosted by the School of Cultures, Languages and Linguistics in the Faculty of Arts and Education at the University of Auckland.
Our biennial conference is multidisciplinary and aims to bring together scholars working in all areas of Asian studies. We encourage papers and panels that explore any aspect of Asian studies, from any disciplinary or theoretical perspective, especially those that address the conference theme of Comprehending the Past, Confronting the Future. Our conference theme acknowledges the huge challenges facing the Asian region in 2025 as we cope with environmental, social, economic, and political uncertainties. Yet, we find hope in the idea that comprehending the past in all its vicissitudes will help us to enrich our perspectives and foster the relationships and wisdom that will take us into the future.
We particularly seek contributions from emerging scholars and postgraduate students. We are planning to host a pre-conference postgraduate workshop and other events to support our next generation of scholars. This conference will be in-person only. We look forward to your participation in all aspects of the conference in Auckland at the end of 2025.
Closing date for submission of abstracts: Wednesday 30 April 2025.
