Description: The Cornell Southeast Asia Program would like to
announce its 10th annual Southeast Asian Studies Graduate
Conference.  This year the event will be held at the Kahin
Center for Advanced Research on Southeast Asia on March 14-16,
2008.  The Annual Southeast Asian Studies Graduate Conference
is a symposium organized annually by the SEAP Student
Committee.  It serves as a forum for students around the U.S.
and abroad who are working in any discipline related to
Southeast Asia to be actively involved in intellectual
exchanges with their fellows in the community of Southeast
Asian Studies.

We welcome submissions from graduate students at any stage
engaged in original research related to Southeast Asia. 
Graduate students working in the following disciplines as well
as other related fields that contribute to the understanding
of Southeast Asia are encouraged to apply: history,
literature, art history, sociology, musicology, religion,
anthropology, archeology, architectural history, gender
studies, political science, economics, linguistics and literature.

This year we are honored to announce that our keynote speaker
will be Professor Thongchai Winichakul, the author of Siam
Mapped: A History of the Geo-body of a Nation (1994), and
"Remembering/Silencing the Traumatic Past: the Ambivalent
Memories of the October 1976 Massacre in Bangkok" in Cultural
Crisis and Social Memory: Modernity and Identity in Thailand
and Laos (2002), edited by Charles F Keyes and Shigeharu
Tanabe.  Papers related to Professor Winichakul’s interests
