> We are now making a first call for papers for the international 
> conference Indian and Pacific Crossings,
> an interdisciplinary gathering which will explore the processes and 
> systems developed in the Indian and
> Pacific rims over extended periods and from a variety of perspectives.
> Suggested themes for the conference are: * Navigation and Commerce: 
> patterns, methods, technologies.
> * Diffusion of Ideas: transfer of political, religious, cultural, and 
> social ideas, including revolts, labor movements,
> technologies, missionary work, etc. * Imperial Structures: alternative 
> means of conceptualizing power and authority,
> models and patterns of rule. * Archaeology: recent excavations or 
> surveys germane to any portion of the regions.
> * Migration: including permanent settlement, itinerant movement, 
> patterns of labor diffusion. * Cartography:
> development of cartographic technologies, exchanges and transfer of 
> information, conceptualizations of land- and sea-scapes
> * Periodizations and Perceptions of the areas: the development of an 
> Indian-Pacific narrative(s)
>
> We welcome submissions that afford both narrow and broad perspectives 
> on these and related themes.
> We anticipate the body of scholarship emerging from this conference 
> will help address such questions as:
> Can we speak of an Indian Ocean Basin and a Pacific Basin in the way 
> scholars have construed types of
> coherence for the Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds? What, 
> furthermore, are the possible links between
> these two basins? - md."
