Prospects for the development of Diaspora Studies in the era of globalization, transnationalism and digitalization

Institute of Asian Studies of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University will host an International Conference Prospects for the development of Diaspora Studies in the era of globalization, transnationalism, and digitalization on October 28th (29th), 2022.
In the era of globalization, the issues of population migration and, as a result, the formation of new ethnic communities in the host countries are particularly acute. In the 21-st century, the processes of diasporization have significantly accelerated and become more complex, and therefore new approaches, methods, and concepts in Diaspora Studies are relevant.
We encourage submissions on the following 4 topics:
- Historical and modern processes of diasporization.
- Modern discourse of diasporic identity in Western and Eastern societies.
- Mediation of Diasporas in relations between current and ethnic homeland as a form of public diplomacy.
- Reflection of diaspora issues in the fiction of modern Asian countries.
The Organizing Committee accepts applications for initiative sections as well. Consequently, the proposed section should have a moderator and 4 speakers at least.
In case of the formation of additional sections, the Conference will continue on October 29, 2022.
The Conference’s Papers are planned to be edited and published online.
Ph.D. students, undergraduates, and students are welcome for participation in the Conference.
