This one-day interdisciplinary symposium will bring together scholars from across campus whose research focuses on Asia. The symposium will be a space of dialogue and learning among scholars. The event will include lectures lead by College of Arts & Sciences faculty and graduate students, as well as a reception. With support from the Associate Dean of Inclusion and Internationalization in the College of Arts & Sciences, we endeavor to foster communication among those who are researching Asia, but scattered across campus, in hopes to build a stronger community of scholars.

Feel free to drop in for all or part of the events. Registration is not necessary, but helpful. Kindly respond with name and affiliation to Doug Slaymaker, dslaym@uky.edu.
