16th Annual Muslim Studies Program Conference
Measuring Muslim Publics: Curves, Columns, Spheres, and Squares
Conference Dates: February 23 – 24, 2023
Michigan State University, International Center
Michigan State University is hosting an international conference entitled “Measuring Muslim Publics: Curves, Columns, Spheres, and Squares.” The conference investigates who is ‘the public’ in public opinion and what effect it has on politics. These questions have received a great deal of attention from scholars of American and European contexts where their contributions have taken on a universalistic overtone. Are these generalized assumptions valid in other societies – notably in Muslim-majority contexts? In addressing these questions, this conference aims to contribute to the interdisciplinary study of public opinion and ‘the public’ in Muslim contexts inside and outside of the Muslim world.
This event is organized by the MSU Muslim Studies Program.

25th Cornell SEAP Graduate Student Conference
Call for Papers
Conference Dates: March 10 – 12, 2023
Cornell University, Kahin Center
Abstract Submission Deadline: December 20, 2022
Online Abstract Submission
Scholarship is forever a site of tension between the intellectual inheritance of one’s discipline and the magnificent potentiality of original research. Between opposing pulls of past and future we notch our arrows, set our sights, and take flight into newly imagined terrains of research, political struggle, and creative expression. On the occasion of the Cornell Southeast Asian Program (SEAP) Graduate Student Conference’s 25th anniversary, we reflect on origins, destinations, and all the hurdles in between.
The 25th SEAP Graduate Student Conference will be held in a hybrid format on 10–12 March, 2023 at Cornell University’s George McT. Kahin Center for Advanced Research on Southeast Asia in Ithaca, New York and on Zoom.
For more information, please visit the Cornell Events Website. This conference is organized by Cornell University.
