[csaa-forum] Call for Papers: Conference on the Transnational and the Transgenerational in Central and West Asia and their Diasporas

[GJ Breyley]

*Call for Papers: *An International Conference on the Transnational and the
Transgenerational in Central and West Asia and their Diasporas

Hosted by Monash University Faculty of Arts

Scholars of West and Central Asia and their diasporas are invited to submit
proposals for pre-arranged panels or individual papers in all subfields of
the Humanities and Social Sciences. The conference will focus on the
transnational – links and intersections between Central and West Asian
states or between the region and its diasporic communities, as well as the
transgenerational – links between generations in familial, educational,
sociocultural and political contexts in the region and its diasporas.

Papers and panels may examine the development or the disruption of such
links through social and cultural change, migration, political transitions
or globalisation. We are interested in the ways transnational and
transgenerational connections are represented or reflected in music, film,
media, literature and other arts, as well as the findings of historical and
anthropological research.

Please submit a 300-word abstract and biographical note to Roya Salamati (
roya.salamati at monash.edu) by 31 October 2014.
