Seminar Series - 2009 Semester 2

This new university-wide lecture series seeks to bring together all scholars and students engaged in Asian Studies across the campus. Speakers for each lecture in the series will come from a different disciplinary background and share their research and knowledge of Asia. It is organized by the Asian Studies Program in School of Languages and Cultures. We hope anyone interested in Asia, past and present, from all different disciplines will attend and meet each other.

All seminars commence at 5.00pm in the Quad Latin Room, S225 behind the stairs behind the jacaranda tree.
