| This international symposium aims to discuss migrations and movements that transcend, connect and challenge the “borders” created by geographical, socio-economic and racial/ethnic factors in the regions covering Asia to the North and South Americas. It also attempts to highlight the significance of the application of “seascape,” or the perspective of the Pacific, since the ocean and its islands have been a quintessential space that have connected the continents (Asia and the Americas) and actualized the flows of people, knowledge and commodities. However, for those scholars who deal with trans-border or trans-territorial people and phenomena, it requires extra efforts to search for materials in multiple sites in multiple languages. In recognition of this symposium as one that aims to “empower” the next generation of scholars, the panelists of various methodological backgrounds (anthropology, ethnic studies, history, sociology) will share with the audiences their difficulties and challenges in conducting researches. | |
