The 2015 CCSEAS Conference Steering Committee invites abstract submissions for the Canadian Council of Southeast Asian Studies (CCSEAS) 2015 conference. CCSEAS encourages dialogue across and between the humanities and social sciences to explore multiple themes, challenges and transformations relating to Southeast Asia. We welcome panel, paper, and roundtable abstracts from researchers, civil society organizations, graduate students and professors working and researching in Southeast Asia. We are honoured to announce our two keynote speakers for CCSEAS 2015: Dr. Rodolphe De Koninck and Dr. Jacqueline A. Siapno.

Participants will present their work as part of a panel session, a roundtable, or as an individual paper in French, English or both languages. We particularly welcome panel abstract submissions. All abstracts should be less than 200 words, with proposed panel abstracts including a short overview of the panel in addition to individual paper abstracts. Note that we encourage panels that consist either of three panelists and a discussant or of four panelists. Individual paper abstracts will be reviewed and grouped into thematic panels. Roundtable discussions on pressing issues are strongly supported. Please submit your abstracts by filling out the appropriate form by clicking here.

Please note that membership in the Canadian Asian Studies Association (CASA) is mandatory in order to participate at the CCSEAS conference, but you can submit your abstracts before being a member. Details on how to join or to renew your membership will follow.

Finally, we may be able to offer limited financial support to a few Southeast Asian graduate students, or to those traveling from greater distances to present their work. If you would like to request such assistance, please email us atccseas.executive@gmail.com. We will offer a prize for the best student presentation.
