This one-day workshop explores different ways in which gender intersected with practices of formal and informal diplomacy in modern Asia.
We invite proposals from researchers of all career stages for 20-minute presentations.
Proposals considering the role of gender in international, transnational, transimperial, and decolonial histories with a focus on East Asia and Southeast Asia and its global connections in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are particularly welcome to apply.
