À l'occasion du 11e Consortium For Asian and African Studies, un appel à communication a été lancé
The proposed theme of the 2020 CAAS meeting held at SOAS is ‘Diversity and Representation’. Under this theme, the conference will explore different understandings of and approaches to diversity and representation –including linguistic diversity, cultural diversity, ethnic diversity, religious diversity, but also diversity of ideas and opinions and other forms of diversity. The topic spans studies of diversity at community, local, and regional level, with a focus on the Global South. It asks how different forms of diversity are perceived, understood and talked about, and how diversity is represented in different contexts. It also asks questions of representations of diversity, and explores the ideologies, positions and perspectives that inform different modes of representation. Diversity and representation have been studied from many different disciplinary perspectives and we encourage both disciplinary studies, but also in particular inter-disciplinary and regional, area-studies approaches to a better understanding of what diversity means in African and Asian contexts
