Conference Theme: "Encounters and Exchanges"
The aim of this International Conference on Asian studies is to encourage academics, scholars and practitioners representing a exciting diversity of countries, cultures, and religions to meet and exchange research, ideas and views in a forum encouraging
respectful dialogue. ACAS 2012 will afford the opportunity for renewing
old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher
education and beyond.
We hope that the conference theme will again encourage academic and personal encounters and exchanges across national, religious, cultural and disciplinary divides. We look forward to seeing you (again) in Osaka in 2012!
