> "Angkor and Its Global Connections": An International Conference to be
> held in Siem Reap, Cambodia, 10-12 June 2011.
>
>
>
> In collaboration with the APSARA (Authority for the Protection and
> Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap) National Authority of
> Cambodia, and with the support of the UNESCO Phnom Penh Office, the
> Nalanda-Sriwijaya Centre of the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies,
> Singapore and the Greater Angkor Project or the University of Sydney,
> Australia are pleased to announce the convening of a conference entitled
> Angkor and Its Global Connections in Siem Reap over three days 10-12 June
> 2011.
>
> The aim of the proposed conference is to examine the history of the Khmer
> polities which were centred in and around the Angkor region, the
> development of their urban centres, and the links between these polities
> and other political and cultural centres in Southeast Asia, East Asia and
> beyond. It is hoped that the papers presented, selections of which will
> be subsequently published in an edited volume, will offer a state-of-
> the-field overview of Khmer polities, their urban development and their
> relations with other polities and cultural centres, including Tai, Thai,
> Cham, Viet, and Chinese polities, the Arab and Persian worlds and
> maritime Southeast Asia.
>
>
> The need for such a conference is obvious. While there are annual
> ICC-Angkor meetings held in Siem Reap under the auspices of APSARA and
> UNESCO, these relate mainly to the preservation and maintenance of the
> monuments of the Angkor region. It has often been the case, however, that
> these ancient cities have been examined in splendid isolation, without
> sufficient reference to their external links which, it must be affirmed,
> are integral and essential elements for any functioning metropolis in
> history or today.
>
>
> The most recent major scholarly conclaves to address the broader issues
> of the historical and external contexts of the Khmer centres were the
> "Khmer Studies Symposium", hosted by the Greater Angkor Project at
> Sydney University in 2005 and the "Contemporary Research on Pre-Angkor
> Cambodia" conference convened by the Centre for Khmer Studies, Siem Reap
> in the same year. The amount of archaeological, textual, epigraphic and
> comparative research which has been conducted since then suggests that
> the field would benefit from another gathering of specialists, with some
> new foci. It is to this end that the proposed conference is being
> convened. This is the first conference in the Nalanda-Sriwijaya Centre?s
> "Early Cities of Southeast Asia" series.
>
> Research institutes throughout the world are invited to nominate scholars
> whose participation in the conference they will financially support.
> Independent scholars are also invited to submit proposals, but funding
> will
> be limited to those from Asia most in need of financial support.
>
> The languages of the conference will be English and Khmer.
