Call for papers: 3rd Conference of the Asian Borderlands Research Network

*Call for Papers - Deadline 1 December 2011
*Connections, Corridors, and Communities*
Host: Centre for Southwest Borderland Ethnic Minority Studies, Yunnan
University, Kunming, China. 12 - 15 October 2012

Extensive land and maritime networks have crisscrossed Asia for centuries, providing the basis for encounters between diverse ethnic, linguistic, economic, religious, and political groups. Today, developments such as new infrastructural projects, an increase in media access, and renewed interest in shaping cross-border cultural identities serve to both underscore these long-standing linkages and create new forms of connections across Asia. During the 3rd Asian Borderlands Research Conference in Kunming, we invite submissions that address continuities and ruptures along routes and borders in Asia, broadly related to the theme, "Connections, Corridors, and Communities".
