This year's Symposium is titled "Neoliberalism in South Asia: Culture, Gender, and Labor." In the 1980s and 1990s, South Asian countries adopted neoliberal policies that led to increased foreign investment, export-oriented economies, and cuts in public spending.With these transformations, South Asia has become increasingly enmeshed in global and gendered flows of culture and labor. What localized responses have these processes generated? The CSAS Spring symposium will focus on such key themes as: * economy/poverty * state practices and policy * popular culture, film/media/TV * gender and sustainability * women's movements * religion * migration (domestic: rural/urban)/ diaspora * labor rights * technology Papers addressing theoretical innovations in understanding neoliberalism in these different contexts are also invited. Paper proposals must include presenter's name, contact information (including e-mail address, mailing address, and telephone number), paper title, and abstract (no more than 250 words). If a paper proposal is accepted, two nights accommodation for presenters visiting Hawai'i will be provided on campus. Travel to and from Hawai'i must be made at the presenter's expense. Submit paper proposals to: Center for South Asian Studies 223 Moore Hall University of Hawai'i at Mänoa Honolulu, HI 96822 Or: csas PROPOSALS ACCEPTED FROM JANUARY 1, 2004-MARCH 1, 2004. The CSAS Spring Symposium is made possible via the generous support of G.J. and Ellen Watumull and The Sidney Stern Memorial Trust. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
