EATS Conference 2014:

The 11th EATS Annual Conference

Location: Portsmouth, UK

The 11th EATS Conference took place at the University of Portsmouth, 30 April–2 May 2014, hosted by the School of Languages and Area Studies (SLAS) and the Centre for European and International Studies Research (CEISR)

Moving into the second decade since its birth, the 11th annual EATS conference will be held at the University of Portsmouth, UK. Themed on ‘Taiwan: Self vs. Other’, the conference invites papers examining how Taiwan perceives and projects itself to its domestic as well as international audiences. To elaborate on this theme, we suggest seven topics as follows, but we also welcome abstracts which are within the conference theme but are not included in any of the seven suggested panels. Besides, it is our pleasure to also announce the fourth European Taiwan Studies Young Scholars Award (YSA). Full details of which can be found in a separate document below in addition to this Call for Paper.

Submission is open from Friday 1 November and the extended deadline is Friday 10 January 2014. Please submit an A-4 ONE PAGE abstract to info@eats-taiwan.eu. After a double-blind review process, an announcement will be made of those accepted by the end of February 2014.
