2010 Graduate Student Conference - Cornell University Southeast Asia Program:
The Cornell Southeast Asia Program invites submissions for its 12th Annual Southeast Asian Studies Graduate Conference. This year this annual event will be held at the Kahin Center for Advanced Research on Southeast Asia at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York on March 12-14, 2010. We welcome submissions from graduate students at any stage engaged in original research related to Southeast Asia. Graduate students working in the following disciplines as well as other related fields that contribute to the understanding of Southeast Asia are encouraged to apply: history, art history, sociology, musicology, religion, anthropology, archeology, architectural history, gender studies, political science, economics, linguistics and literature.
This year we are honored to announce that our keynote speaker will be Associate Professor Eric Tagliacozzo (Department of History, Cornell University; Director, Cornell Modern Indonesia Project), author of Secret Trades, Porous Borders: Smuggling and States Along a Southeast Asian Frontier, 1865-1915 (Yale, 2005), which was awarded the Harry J. Benda Prize from the Association of Asian Studies in 2007. He is also the editor of Southeast Asia and the Middle East: Islam, Movement, and the Longue Duree (Stanford, 2009) and co-editor of both The Indonesia Reader: History, Culture, Politics (Duke, 2009) and Clio/Anthropos: Exploring the Boundaries Between History and Anthropology (Stanford, 2009). His next book project is called The Longest Journey: Southeast Asians and the Pilgrimage to Mecca.
