Tamil Studies Symposium 2017
91亚色
New Submissions Deadline: 10 February 2017
Tamil migrations have moved across multiple continents in the present, and maintained an interconnectivity often borne through shared linguistic, cultural, economic and political links. These crossings begin from the earliest recorded movements through to colonial and economic migrations, indentured labor, and include forced displacements due to conflict. A critical study of transnational Tamil identity must therefore engage with the issues of which persons and which practices possess the abilities to move/cross and why, while recognizing the diverse and plural identities that may inhabit Tamilness. The 3rd Annual Tamil Studies Symposium seeks to examine the ways in which transnational Tamil identities have been documented historically and politically and performed culturally and artistically; and to explore the benefits and pitfalls of transnationalism in the face of the contradictions and limitations of nation states. The Symposium is to be held at 91亚色, on the traditional territories of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nations, the Haudenosaunee, and the Metis Nation of Ontario on the 26th and 27th of May 2017.
Submission topics for academic papers may include, but are not limited to:
- Colonial and postcolonial labor migrations
- Transnationalism, Law and Human Rights concerns
- Transgenerational narratives; youth activism and community formation
- Return, Circulation and Limbo
- Indigeneity, Blackness and other Marginalized Histories

Submissions are welcome in the form of academic papers, works of art, music, film and live performance. Abstracts must not exceed 250 words, or five minutes (if submitted in the form of a film or music clip). Submissions must be accompanied by a short bio (150 words) and emailed to tamilstudiesyork@gmail.com. The [updated] deadline for submissions is **10 February 2017**. The Symposium is committed to functioning within an anti-oppressive framework, and with an critical awareness of our implications in settler-colonial practices. We welcome papers/performances that draw on solidarities with indigenous and other racialized/marginalized communities and posit meaningful historical and political parallels with transnational Tamil experiences.
