Praised as “visionary\,” “innovative\,” and “richly seductive\,” the book exemplifies how the collaborative ethos of Global Asias praxis catalyzes new methods of scholarship and pedagogy—and crea tes inventive models of academic knowledge-production. Organized around fi ve keywords—Transits\, Indigeneity\, Epistemology\, Language\, and A/Geo graphy—and featuring innovative research and pedagogy forums\, the book highlights potential overlaps and points of disagreement between area stud ies\, ethnic studies\, and diaspora studies.\n\nOne editor and three contr ibutors will provide a brief overview of the book and a discussion of the collaborative process that produced its approach and structure. This will be followed by an interactive workshop with attendees about devising new m ethods of Global Asias scholarship and pedagogy in different institutional settings. \n\nAdvanced registration is encouraged and participants are i nvited to suggest questions and topics to be discussed at the workshop. An excerpt from the book will be emailed in advance to registrants: https:// forms.gle/Nzd7DhRJGC7DNdQPA\n\n \;\n\nPRESENTERS:\n\n\nTina Chen\nAsso ciate Professor of English and Asian American Studies\, Pennsylvania State University\nFounding Editor\, Verge: Studies in Global Asias\nFounding Di rector\, Global Asias Initiative\n\nFiona Lee\nSenior Lecturer in English\ , Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences\, Universiti Malaya\, Malaysia\nVisi ting Scholar\, Harvard-Yenching Institute\n\nAndrew Leong\nAssistant Profe ssor of English\, University of California\, Berkeley \n\nAlexander Murph y\nAssistant Professor of Japanese\, Clark University\nReischauer Institut e Postdoctoral Fellow\, Harvard University \n\nCHAIR:\n\nJames Robson\nJa mes C.
