Burma Studies Conferences 2010

Burma in the Era of Globalization

Location: Marseille (France)
Dates: 6-10 July 2010
Deadline for submission of panel proposals: 1 December 2009
Deadline for paper proposals (titles and abstracts): 30 March 2010

The next International Burma Studies Conference will be held in France, at l’Institut de Recherche sur le Sud-Est Asiatique (IRSEA-CNRS), Université de Provence, Marseille, 6th-10th July, 2010.

We invite panel participants to focus their proposals on the theme of understanding Burma/Myanmar’s position vis-a-vis processes of globalization. How does globalization contribute to change – or not – in Burma and also to our perceptions of Burma? Such an overview should be consequent to a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach by specialists in anthropology, sociology, linguistics, political science, economics, history and archaeology; as well as in religion, literature, art and architecture.

Interested participants are asked to organize and submit panel proposals with 500-word abstracts by 1 December 2009.

Individual papers, for which a 250 word abstract is requested, are also welcome and will be duly integrated into the conference sessions by the organizers. The deadline for the individual paper proposals is 30 March 2010.

In addition to the title and abstract of the proposed panels and papers, please include the contributors’ names and academic affiliations, mailing address, email address, and specify equipment needs for the presentations.
