The 10th iteration of the AAS-in-Asia conference in Nepal is off to a wonderful start
260 sessions and 1,200 people from 47 countries
The 10th iteration of the AAS-in-Asia conference in Nepal is off to a wonderful start in the beautiful city of Kathmandu. With more than 260 sessions and 1,200 people from 47 countries, this academic and cultural platform is bringing together scholars, students, artists and development practitioners around the theme of “Reframing Global Asias: Margins, Modernities and Mobilities”, which creates a vibrant platform of transdisciplinary exchange.
From June 1-4, the city of Kathmandu offers an ideal location where scholarly engagement, social networking and friendship are made across and beyond multiple boundaries.
In selecting this year’s theme as ‘Reframing [Global] Asia[s]’, we expect that recentring the relational margins of urban and rural, while focusing on multiple Asian futures, will demonstrate Asia’s many pluralisms, contrasts, and paradoxes. The conference takes stock of these variegated ‘Margins, Modernities, and Mobilities’ en route to taking up the critical and necessary task of ‘Reframing Asia’.
