CALL FOR PAPERS

DEADLINE: Monday, February 11, 2013


The Social Science Research Council, Yale University, the National
University of Singapore (NUS), the Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities
and Social Sciences (HKIHSS) at the University of Hong Kong, Göttingen
University, and Koç University—collectively the "Conference Organizing
Committee"—are pleased to announce an open call for individual research
paper submissions from researchers in any world region, to participate in a
4-day thematic workshop at an international conference, Inter-Asian
Connections IV: Istanbul.


To be held in Istanbul, October 2-5, 2013 and hosted by Koç University, the
conference will include concurrent workshops, coordinated by individual
directors and showcasing innovative research from across the social
sciences and related disciplines. Workshops will focus on themes of
particular relevance to Asia, reconceptualized as a dynamic and
interconnected historical, geographical, and cultural formation stretching
from the Middle East through Eurasia and South Asia, to East Asia.


The conference structure and schedule have been designed to enable
intensive 'working group' interactions on a specific research theme, as
well as broader interactions on topics of mutual interest and concern.
Accordingly, there will be a public keynote and plenary sessions in
addition to closed workshop sessions. The concluding day of the conference
will bring all the conference participants together for the public
presentation and exchange of research agendas that have emerged over the
course of the conference deliberations.


Individual paper submissions are invited from junior and senior scholars,
whether graduate students or faculty, or researchers in NGOs or other
research organizations, for the following seven workshops:
