Call for Proposals: Central Asia Research Forum

Deadline: January 24, 2025

The Central Asia Research Forum aims to, through formal and informal discussions, bring together scholars in all disciplines and stages of the research process to discuss the theme of Teaching Central Asia. Since 1991 (and before), scholars have been trying to take on a recurring question, how should we study and teach Central Asia? Specifically, what new conceptual frameworks should we develop to convey the imbalance in sources, perspectives, and academic training, including disparities in access to publishing outlets and the production of knowledge itself? We invite scholars to submit proposals that retrace the founding of Central Asian Studies, in the region and abroad, and the numerous academic institutions that trained (and continue to do so) generations of scholars to study and teach this region.
