Harvard University

The 27th annual Harvard East Asia Society Conference 2024 will be held on February 16-17, 2024. This year's theme is "Knots: Complex Legacies and Imagined Futures of East Asia." The knot is a traditional form of art that can be found throughout China, Korea, and Japan, made from the orderly connection of different individual threads. The committee chose the figure of the knot to represent the intertwined memories, legacies, and histories of interaction between and throughout the different parts of the region we now call East Asia. We thus welcome scholarship that attempts to bridge different spaces, times, and disciplines, which includes (but is not limited to) history, philosophy, religion, literature, art history, sociology, anthropology, archaeology, economics, political science, gender studies, environmental studies, and law.

East West Center

The 2024 ASDP 31st National Conference invites papers that explore how connections (and disconnections) with and within Asia have mattered and continue mattering, culturally, economically, ecologically, scientifically, and politically. In addition to sharing multidisciplinary research, the Conference will provide a forum for exploring both pedagogical and institutional innovation and insights. The conference will be held in-person on March 7, 2024.
