The ASDP National Conference is an annual event that provides an opportunity for ASDP alumni and other interested college and university faculty members to share research related to Asian cultures and societies, as well as strategies for effectively infusing Asian content into undergraduate humanities, social science, business, and science curricula. This year, the ASDP National Conference is hosted by Portland Community College and is co-sponsored by the Asian Studies Development Program and the Association of Regional Centers for Asian Studies. To study Asia is to study connections. Whether through wide-angle historical lenses or through tightly-focused analyses of contemporary issues, studying connections among peoples, cultures, ideas and ideals enhances and broadens understanding. The 2017 ASDP National Conference presents papers from faculty and students in the humanities and social sciences that explore connections with and within Asia. In addition to providing a forum for sharing diverse, disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, the Conference welcomes proposals that explicitly explore how to connect undergraduate students with current scholarship on Asia.
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
Dr. Alisa Freedman
Talk Title: "Tokyo in Transit: Japanese Trains as Social and Cultural Vehicles" March 3, 2017 The sight of long trains rapidly snaking between skyscrapers and of commuters, especially workers in suits and students in uniforms, flooding station platforms, characterizes the allures and difficulties of Tokyo in the global imagination. The most efficient, largest, and busiest transit network in the world, Tokyo’s public transportation includes more than 100 train and 13 subway lines that carry a total of more than 28.85 million passengers daily. Tokyo vehicles are social and cultural spaces different from other metropolitan commuter networks: they are a means to see how the city has affected ways people behave. I will survey important historical changes in Tokyo’s social fabric made possible by developments in modern mass transportation. Commuter trains, streetcars, and buses have changed human subjectivity and artistic production, giving rise to gender roles that have come to represent Japan. The extension of Tokyo’s transit networks made it possible for men and women of different social classes to work, play, and interact with each other in unprecedented ways. Prewar culture involving commuter vehicles anticipates what is fascinating and frustrating about Tokyo today and provides insight into how people try to make themselves at home in the city.
Alisa Freedman is an Associate Professor of Japanese Literature and Film at the University of Oregon. Her publications include Tokyo in Transit: Japanese Culture on the Rails and Road (Stanford University Press, 2010), an annotated translation of Kawabata Yasunari’s The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa (University of California Press, 2005), a co-edited volume on Modern Girls on the Go: Gender, Mobility, and Labor in Japan (Stanford University Press, 2013), and a co-edited textbook on Introducing Japanese Popular Culture (forthcoming from Routledge in 2017), along with guest-edited journal issues, articles, and literary translations on a range of topics. She is Editor-in-Chief of the U.S.-Japan Women’s Journal and has been nationally recognized for her efforts in advising students.
Dr. Edward Slingerland
Talk Title: "Trying Not to Try: Cooperation, Trust and the Paradox of Spontaneity" March 4, 2017
Many early Chinese thinkers endorsed the spiritual ideal of wuwei, or effortless action. By advocating spontaneity as an explicit moral and religious goal, however, they were faced with the paradox of how one can try not to try, which later became one of the central tensions in East Asian religious thought. This talk will look at the paradox from both early Chinese and contemporary perspectives, drawing upon work in economics, social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and evolutionary theory to argue that this paradox is real, and is intimately tied up with cooperation dilemmas in large-scale societies and concerns about trust and moral hypocrisy.

Conference Events
Field Trip to Lan Su Chinese Garden
Join members of PCC's Asian Studies Committee on Thursday afternoon for an informal tour of the Lan Su Chinese Garden. Lan Su Chinese Garden is a walled Chinese garden of roughly 40,000 square feet in the
Chinatown neighborhood of Portland. The name of the garden combines lan (蘭) or "orchid" and su (蘇) or
"arise” or "awaken" and can thus be interpreted poetically as the "Garden of Awakening Orchids." Lan Su Chinese Garden is one of Portland's greatest treasures and is the result of a collaboration between Portland and her sister city of Suzhou, located in China's Jiangsu province and famous for its beautiful Ming Dynasty gardens. Built by artisans from Suzhou, Lan Su is one the most authentic Chinese gardens outside of China. To enter the garden is to enter another era and a truly distinctive aesthetic combining architecture, landscape design, and nature in ways that afford direct, experiential insight into Chinese culture, history and ways of thinking.
Other Asia-related Activities and Sites in Portland "What the World Owes the Comfort Women" by Dr. Carol Gluck.
The practices and norms of public memory have changed in the seventy years since the end of World War II creating what Professor Gluck calls a “global memory culture.” Changes in the law, the role of witnesses, the realm of rights, the politics of apology, and concepts of responsibility have transformed our understanding of doing justice to the past. And in each instance the former comfort women have played a role in that transformation, helping to change attitudes toward sexual violence and women’s rights -- helping, in short, to change the world. March 2, 2017, 5:30 – 7:00, Portland State University Ballroom, Room 355, 1825 SW Broadway, Portland. Presented by The PSU Center for Japanese Studies, co-sponsored by The Friends of History.

Additional Information about the Conference Sponsors
The East-West Center promotes better relations and understanding among the people and nations of the United States, Asia, and the Pacific through cooperative study, research, and dialogue. Established by the U.S. Congress in 1960, the Center serves as a resource for information and analysis on critical issues of common concern, bringing people together to exchange views, build expertise, and develop policy options. The Center is an independent, public, nonprofit organization with funding from the U.S. government, and additional support provided by private agencies, individuals, foundations, corporations, and governments in the region. Over more than fifty years of serving as a U.S.-based institution for public diplomacy in the Asia Pacific region with international governance, staffing, students, and participants, the Center has built a worldwide network of 62,000 alumni and more than 1,100 partner organizations.
The Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP) was launched in 1991 to enhance teaching about Asia at American two-year and four-year colleges and universities at the undergraduate level. In recent years, ASDP has also included Asian faculty in selected programs. Since its inception, more than 1,500 professors from the U.S. and Asia have participated in ASDP programs.
A joint program of the East-West Center and the University of Hawai‘i, ASDP offers a variety of content-focused faculty and institutional development programs and activities centered around summer residential institutes, field seminars in Asia, workshops on the U.S. mainland, and an annual academic conference.
The Association of Regional Centers for Asian Studies (ARCAS) is composed of the 19 regional centers of ASDP. ARCAS is a non-profit organization affiliated with ASDP and works closely with ASDP in such initiatives as the development of faculty development workshops and ASDP's annual conferences. The Association of Regional Centers for Asian Studies is committed to promoting the study of Asia and Asian cultures in undergraduate programs at colleges and universities throughout the United States. The mission of this Association is to provide high quality programs for faculty, administrators, staff, and students at member institutions and other institutions served by the regional centers. The purpose of these programs is to enhance teaching, learning, and research in Asian studies. Portland Community College (PCC) is the largest post-secondary institution in Oregon: PCC serves nearly 90,000 full-time and part-time students. PCC has four comprehensive campuses, eight centers and dozens of independent locations throughout the community that offer courses and provide student services. PCC fills a unique role, one that offers high quality education and opportunities for students, which in turn contributes to the vibrancy of Portland's economic community.
