Call for Panels

The call for panels is not open yet.

The European Association for Southeast Asian Studies (EuroSEAS) will hold its 13th conference at the Universtity of Amsterdam, The Netherlands from 22-26 July 2024.

As an international and multi-disciplinary scholarly organisation, EuroSEAS invites scholars and PhD students from all academic disciplines with an interest in Southeast Asia to submit panels that explore relevant research topics from an interdisciplinary perspective as well as discuss theoretical and methodological aspects of research generated in the field of Southeast Asian Studies.

Proposals are invited for classical panels, roundtable discussions, laboratories that would develop cross-disciplinary collaboration, and for screenings with academic discussion of documentaries or artistic movies on various topics from Southeast Asia. More experimental formats are also welcome. In any regard, we ask all the convenors to briefly name, describe and explain their choice of format in their proposal.

Please note that panels should reflect a variety in the national/regional background and home institutions of the participants.
