AAAS 2010 Conference in Austin!

AAAS 2010's Theme: Emergent Cartographies: Asian American Studies in the Twenty-First Century
Omni Austin Hotel Downtown @ 700 San Jacinto St.
Association for Asian American Studies (AAAS) Annual Conference
UT Austin, Texas April 7-11, 2010

From its origins in the civil rights era, Asian American Studies has been an emergent project intellectually and institutionally. It tracks the growth and evolution of a highly heterogeneous population constantly shifting in location, arrival narratives, socioeconomic class, cultural formations, political identifications, and demography. UT Austin presents opportunities to highlight these transformations, as well as continuities, in student activism and program building, intersections with gender and sexuality studies, hemispheric conceptions of migration, transnational and diasporic practices, transformative communications technologies, rediscovered migration trajectories, economic crises, new sites of labor and employment, communities emerging from war and refugee flight, and teaching for non-Asian populations.
