Join us for an annual day of presentations by graduate students from the Asian Studies department, featuring special guest presenters unique to each year. Participants in the conference will present their original research, engage in accompanying discussions on their papers or presentations, and enjoy refreshments while meeting and talking with scholars working in a wide variety of disciplines and regions. This year we are also excited to have Dr. Sunera Thobani as our keynote speaker. Questions can be directed to ubcasiagradcon2020@gmail.com
If you plan to attend, please register here. There will be some food available, but please keep in mind that priority will be given to presenters, panel chairs, and volunteers. We hope to see you there!
