Amplifying: #CFP: #Amdo Research Network workshop "Amdo Traditions, Amdo Futures", Univ. of Leeds (UK), 23-25 June 2025. 150 word abstracts in Tibetan or English due 10 Feb to arn2025leeds@gmail.com.

Convened by Dr. Timothy Thurston and Dr. Tsering Samdrup

#himalaya #amdo #tibetanstudies #tibet
Call for papers: 5th International Workshop of the Amdo Research Network. Folklorist Henry Glassie defines tradition as "making the future out of the past." From this perspective, we might argue that communities around the world craft their futures with recourse to previously existing cultural resources alongside the dynamic conditions (and restrictions) of the present. As Amdo Tibetans try to imagine and craft their futures within and beyond the People's Republic of China, resources of the past— including but not limited to religious practices, governance structures, festivals and foodways, oral and literary traditions, and artisanry—all play an important role in what people consider possible. For this meeting of the Amdo Research Network, we invite papers examining Amdo from these and other perspectives. Potential areas for discussion could include: -The representation of Amdo traditions in modern media; -Cultural practices in urbanizing communities; -Traditionalization and Amdo Tibetan language practices; --Connections between historical and contemporary writing practices; --Historical political and religious practices and their place in contemporary Amdo; --The activities of religious communities past and present; --Emerging trends in Amdo Tibetan religious and secular thought; and more We should note that contributions do not necessarily need to address the question of futures, as better understanding Amdo's pasts and traditions will help to understand what its futures may look like. Dates to remember: Abstract Submission: 10 February 2025 Notification Date: 1 March, 2025 Conference Dates: 23 June 2025-25 June 2025 Interested participants should please submit their English or Tibetan abstracts (maximum of 150 words) including paper title, your full name, affiliation, position, email address, and whether you will require an invitation letter to attend to arn2025leeds@gmail.com in a WORD file with a file name starting with your full name and "Abstract" in the filename (For example JaneDoeAbstract). Meeting participants will also be invited to submit full papers to a conference volume that we intend to publish with White Rose University Press. For questions or enquiries contact Dr Timothy Thurston at T.Thurston@leeds.ac.uk Or visit: https://arn.orient.cas.cz/event/the-5th-arn-international-workshop/ A small number of bursaries may be available to help offset some of the costs for the PhD researchers and precariously employed scholars. The conference will be held at the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, and is part of the Tibetan Sustainable Heritage Initiative, a project funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship.
