The 8th "Engaging with Vietnam - An Interdisciplinary Dialogue" Conference Engaging With Vietnam through the Arts and Scholarship (Please note you not have to be an artist or work in the arts to participate in this year's Engaging with Vietnam Conference As always, this is a MULTI-DISCIPLINARY conference The keynote sessions will demonstrate how artists and musicians are asking the same questions about society as academics, while the breakout sessions will enable academics to "engage with Vietnam" in their own ways Being at the conference will also give you every opportunity to have a dialogue with the arts.) Dates: 6-7 October, 2016 Venue: University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu Host: University of Hawaii at Manoa www.engagingwithvietnam.net https://www.facebook.com/engagingwithvietnam The Engaging with Vietnam conference series has always encouraged dialogues between disciplines It is in that spirit that this year’s conference will seek to facilitate conversations between various academic disciplines and the arts In recent years the Vietnamese arts world - be it music, painting or performance - has been very active and dynamic in attempting to “engage with Vietnam,” in the broadest sense, in our current era of globalization and societal change Alongside the featuring of signature scholarship from scholars in various academic disciplines, in this year’s conference we will also be highlighting in our keynote sessions the work of various artists and their engagements with Vietnamese society, culture and history as a way to build connections between the arts world and academia We find that both of these communities ask many of the same questions, but they, for most part, remain rather disconnected Therefore, by engaging the two in a dialogue we hope that all can work together more productively and creatively and to find more rigorous and interdisciplinary answers to their questions As well as dedicating to Engaging with Vietnam through the Arts and Scholarship, we are also making every attempt to engage in this event the arts community/ies at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and in Hawaii more broadly We hope such multiple engagements will enrich and stimulate scholarship and creativity in meaningful ways With this in mind, we would like to invite you to participate in the 8th Engaging with Vietnam conference As usual, we look forward to receiving abstracts from you that continue to inform and challenge us with solid and innovative ideas and findings You not have to arts to participate and present at the conference, but being at the conference will give you every opportunity to have a dialogue with the arts Proposal Submission Guidelines You are invited to submit your panel proposal (500 words) or individual paper proposal (200-300 words) by the deadline below Deadline for proposal submission: May 15, 2016 (If you require an earlier acceptance letter in order to obtain travel funding from your institution and other sources, please submit your abstract earlier and indicate that you need early notification) Notification of acceptance: May 30, 2016 Individual proposal submission link Panel proposal submission link The links are available on the conference website as well Individual presentation: 30 minutes, including 10 minutes for questions Panel (4 papers maximum): up to 120 minutes, including question time Please address all queries regarding the conference to engagingwithvietnam@gmail.com Thank you and we look forward to a stimulating conference Aloha nui, Phan Le Ha, College of Education, UHM (Founder, Conference Co-Chair and Co-Convener) Liam Kelley, Department of History, UHM (Co-Founder, Conference Co-Chair and Co-Convener) Phung Van Huy, Graduate Student, Second Language Studies, UHM (Conference Secretary) Le Thuy Linh, Hanoi National University of Education (Conference Secretary) ... stimulating conference Aloha nui, Phan Le Ha, College of Education, UHM (Founder, Conference Co-Chair and Co-Convener) Liam Kelley, Department of History, UHM (Co-Founder, Conference Co-Chair and Co-Convener)... participate in the 8th Engaging with Vietnam conference As usual, we look forward to receiving abstracts from you that continue to inform and challenge us with solid and innovative ideas and findings... participate and present at the conference, but being at the conference will give you every opportunity to have a dialogue with the arts Proposal Submission Guidelines You are invited to submit your panel
