from around the world conducting research in all disciplines related to
East Asia to submit abstracts for our 2015 conference, to take place April

studies, new media, and cinema.

Topics can include but are not limited to:

   - The role of mobility in second language acquisition
   - Constructed narratives of history or remembering in film, literature,
   and/or language
   - Intersection between transpacific movement and religion
   - Construction of memory in transnational cinemas
   - The interplay between memory and moment in literature
   - Representations of memory and history in East Asia
   - Examining local communities in relation to global migration


The conference will provide an interdisciplinary forum for graduate
students to exchange ideas and discuss current research on East Asia with
each other and invited faculty panelists. All panels will be moderated by
USC faculty. The keynote panel will address the topic of “Memory, Moment,
and Mobility in East Asia.” The conference provides a venue for
participants to meet other scholars in their fields conducting similar
research and to forge new professional relationships. Submissions are
welcome from graduate students in all disciplines. Papers should be related
to East Asia, including East Asian interactions with the wider world.

Applicants should submit an abstract (max. 300 words) and a short biography
