*ECSAS *2020Reflecting on Disciplinary Boundaries
*26th European Conference on South Asian Studies
Vienna, Austria***29 July – 1 August 2020
Call for Panels
The *26th European Conference on South Asian Studies* (ECSAS) will
be held at the University of Vienna, Austria, from *29 July to 1
August 2020*. On behalf of the European Association for South
Asian Studies (EASAS) and the Academic and Organising Committees
we cordially invite you to submit panel proposals.
There is a long tradition of South Asian Studies in Vienna, both
at the University of Vienna and at the Austrian Academy of
Sciences, going back to the mid-19^th century. While a strong
focus has been on South Asia’s premodern period, recent decades
have witnessed a process of historical as well as disciplinary
expansion. South Asian Studies in Austria today covers a wide
range of disciplines and interests, and extends across several
institutions. Against this background the motto of the Vienna
conference will be “Reflecting on Disciplinary Boundaries”. We
particularly welcome panels which reflect on disciplinary
boundaries and promote trans-, inter- or multidisciplinary
approaches.
The *panel submission*is open from *4 February until 5 May 2019*.
Please go to the conference website: _
https://ecsas2020.univie.ac.at/_
All panel proposals must include the title of the panel, the
name(s), affiliation(s) and the EASAS membership number of the
convener(s), a contact e-mail, and a short and long abstract of
the panel topic. Innovative elements of the panel should be
particularly highlighted. Names of tentative paper contributors
may be included (optional).
The short abstract must not exceed 300 characters, long abstracts
must not exceed 1700 characters and should be text only. Please
keep in mind that all panel proposals (and subsequent papers)
must be in English.
*EASAS membership required*. Please note that all panel conveners
must be EASAS members at the time of submission. (Join here: __
https://www.easas.eu/become-a-member/__)
At least one of the conveners must be based at a European
institution.
*One panel and paper per conference*. Due to the ‘competition for
time’ within such a conference, colleagues are allowed to convene
no more than one panel and present only one paper during the
conference. This does not prevent potential participants from
making several proposals, but in the case of multiple acceptances
the convener and/or panelist will be asked to choose only one.
*All panels with an open call*. ECSAS requires all accepted panels
to be open to paper proposals through the website: proposed panels
cannot be ‘closed’ to further papers from the outset.
All panel submissions will be evaluated by the conference’s
Academic Committee. Panel proposers will be notified of the
outcome by July 2019.
If you have any general queries, please do not hesitate to
contact: _ecsas2020@univie.ac.at
_
The abstracts of those panel proposals which have been selected
will be published on the conference website.
The Call for Papers will be open from *4 September to 17 November
2019*. EASAS members can then submit paper proposals to the
selected panels.
For the panels accepted by the Academic Committee, it is the
responsibility of the panel convener(s) to:
*
review the proposed papers in line with the conference
guidelines
and deadlines
*
notify the Organising Committee of the acceptance or
rejection of
papers in a timely manner
*
provide adequate feedback to be forwarded to authors
*
plan the arrangement of papers and chairs in their panel in
collaboration with the Organising Committee. No panel may run
for
more than four sessions of 90 minutes.
While it is recognised that the content of any panel is dependent
upon the selected papers and their overall quality, the Academic
Committee asks all panel conveners to take due consideration of
gender and diversity balance in their panel sessions.
Please note that in the case of similar or overlapping panel
submissions, the Academic Committee may ask panel conveners to
collaborate in leading consolidated panels to ensure the overall
coherence of the conference.
We look forward to seeing you in Vienna in 2020!
Martin Gaenszle and Birgit Kellner (Conveners) and Danuta Stasik
(EASAS President)
