The 2014 Summer Institute in Asian American Studies will take place at National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan from July 29 to 31, 2014. This unique opportunity is designed for graduate students and young academics in the humanities and social sciences to engage in a series of lively lectures offered by distinguished scholars and writers in the Asian American field and to foster exchange and collaboration in and beyond Asia. It will consist of two seminars led by Professors Leslie Bow and Shirley Lim on a set of issues significant for our reconsideration and rearticulation concerning the problem of empire, along with three plenary talks given by Professors Leslie Bow, Jodi Kim, and Shirley Lim, each followed by a roundtable session with discussants from both Asia and America, including Professors Oscar Campomanes, Russ Castronovo, Walter Lim and others.
