The HEAS Conference Board invites papers examining Asia from fresh perspectives that go beyond conventional frameworks. Whether it is an expansion of geographical boundaries, discoveries of silenced histories or a redefinition of cultural norms, we seek to encourage a re-imagination of what Asia means and encompasses. Preference will be given to papers which engage with the conference theme. The HEAS Graduate Student Conference is an annual event which provides an interdisciplinary forum for graduate students to exchange ideas and discuss current research on topics related to East Asia. The conference allows young scholars to present their research to both their peers and to renowned scholars in East Asian Studies. All panels will be moderated by Harvard University faculty. The conference will also allow participants to meet others in their field conducting similar research and to forge new professional relationships.
