Conference: “Crossroads Studies: Mobilities, Immobilities and the Issue of Positionality for Rethinking Area Studies“

On November 27-28, 2014, the international conference “Crossroads Studies: Mobilities, Immobilities and the Issue of Positionality for Rethinking Area Studies“ will take place at the University of Bonn. The conference is organized by the research network Crossroads Asia, funded by the Area Studies Initiative of the German Ministry of Education and Research.

The research network Crossroads Asia: Conflict, Migration, Development questions the validity of conventional ‘world regions’ of the area which reaches from Eastern Iran to Western China and from Northern India to Central Asia.

The conference “Croassroad Studies” aims to think across established demarcations of regions by bringing together the empirical research conducted by the network members with empirical, conceptual and methodological debates. The objective is to identify diverse empirically based common lines of thought and distinctive versions of defining socio-cultural and physical spaces relevant for the rethinking of disciplinary constructs of those, namely for Area Studies.
