Environment as physical surroundings reminds us of our primordial and corporeal embeddedness in nature. Environment as a metaphor allows us to pay keen attention to multi-dimensional contexts of our interactions and their consequences across time and space. Approaching the environment physically and symbolically, this conference invites exploration of a wide range of topics from natural surroundings to social, political, and cultural, as well as geographical, technological and temporal surroundings in Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3c2080bcfd748838848cb4c3984d7199\">Proposal topics may include, but are not limited to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c4aa800484d71c21e577dd79ba1fabce\">Technological Innovation and Climate Change\/Crisis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-93a982b054238f23868333ecb7bf7cc2\">\n<li>Sociopolitical Movements in Asia locally, nationally, &amp; transnationally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-185f57f5b8baa075366b81d6d5c5220e\">\n<li>Geopolitics and Global Affairs related to Asia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1c809495c923a8f07c382d82480069ba\">\n<li>Cultural and Social Changes Throughout Asian Histories<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4a16707166374d1fd9b9c99e64c6a736\">\n<li>Economics and Politics in Asia locally, nationally, &amp; transnationally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-18e0e363cb807a03f38dc8c39bfe52c0\">\n<li>Classroom Teaching about Asia and Educational Environments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-aa1d3b6084bdc557d1a5e1797e02230a\">\n<li>Migration and Diaspora from, to, and across Asia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-03374d1d136dbb652f68d275a113787c\">We encourage proposals for conventional and experimental panels, individual papers, and roundtables.
