The Central Asian Studies Institute is calling for paper and panel proposals for its second annual conference to be held on September 28-29, 2012. The first annual conference of CASI in 2011 initiated discussion on the state of scholarship on and in Central Asia. The second conference continues a discourse on how we make sense of the region by taking the alleged boundary between “formal” and “informal” Central Asia as a starting point. As the terms themselves are being hotly debated elsewhere, this conference firstly encourages scholars to look at the nature, scale and legitimacy of such a binary division.
