The Inter-Asia Cultural Studies Society (IACSS) returns to the Philippines in the summer of 2024, this time with the IACSS Summer School. After the virtual Summer School edition of 2022, which was wonderfully organised and hosted by Universiti Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, our 2024 host, the Department of English and Comparative Literature, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City, welcomes participants on site for what promises to be another engaging multi-day event.

The 2024 Summer School now invites applications from students currently enrolled in a master’s or PhD program in the humanities or social sciences, as well as early-career researchers and cultural workers (with no more than three years of professional experience after the conferral of a graduate degree) whose research and/or creative practice focuses on Asia.

Dates: 5–16 August 2024
Host: Department of English and Comparative Literature, University of the Philippines Diliman, Quezon City
Theme: Tense and Tender Tropics: Ecologies of Vulnerability and Care
