You are invited to participate in “East by Southeast: Multiple
Perspectives on Asia,” a conference of the Society for East Asian
Anthropology of the American Anthropological Association, which will be
held in Taipei, Taiwan, on *_2-5 July 2009_*. We encourage submissions
of both organized sessions and individual papers on issues of interest
and passion in the anthropology of East and Southeast Asian societies.
We particularly welcome panels that bring together comparative studies
of a common topic from different parts of the region.

Peoples in East and Southeast Asia have historically enjoyed intricate
relationships. The unprecedented rate and spread of globalization since
the late 20th century onward have occasioned new modes of economic
integration with attendant flows of people, commodities, and popular
culture that knit the region in new and complex ways. At the same time,
people in different parts of the region face similar challenges with
respect to new class formations and lifestyles, new ways of performing
gender, contestations between local and national identities, and
expanding horizons of consumption. The region is also a site of post-
and neo-colonial tensions. This meeting provides a unique opportunity
for East and Southeast Asian anthropologists and anthropologists of East
and Southeast Asia to learn about current research in their areas (both
geographic and theoretical) and to create links with researchers in
other countries. The conference will include a diverse and multicultural
community of anthropologists, both students and established scholars,
and academic and applied anthropologists.

This conference, which will be conducted in English, is jointly
sponsored by the Society for East Asian Anthropology, the Taiwan
Association for Anthropology and Ethnology, the Graduate Institute of
Anthropology at National Tsing Hua University, the College of Hakka
Studies at National Chiao Tung University, and the Institute of
Ethnology at Academia Sinica .
