5th Annual UC Irvine Global Asias International Conference 2027

The intellectual paradigm of Global Asias recognizes Asia's shifting position in the realm of geopolitics, capital, and culture; this shift counters or exceeds longstanding narratives associated with that region and with global ordering more broadly. Global Asias invites submissions that expand our understanding of "Asia" as a region, discourse, and/or process in relation to the "global" or the "globe." For this edition, proposals are especially encouraged on Art, Islands, Indigeneity, Circulation, Southern California. Other topics include: Circulation of goods and services, Logistics, infrastructure, and supply chains, Transpacific art networks, Activism, Community Organizing, Environment, militarization, land rights, Technology, subjectivity, crisis, Crip theory, Disability Studies, Anti-work, Language and translation, Critical University Studies, and Rethinking disciplines, methods, and knowledge productions of "Asia."
