	What is the Place of the Asian Diaspora
		Diaspora studies gets attention from Asian critics who attempted to revise the critical paradigm of Asian American studies since its establishment in the 19709s.
		These critiques involve re-thinking the theoretical framework of Asian American studies, addressing the concerns of those Asian groups that were previously neglected by the general categorization of "pan-Asian American," revising the narrow focus on America, and brining the discussion of Asian American studies into a transnational context.
		The merge of Asian studies with Asian American studies, as noted by the literary critic Sau-ling Wong, is a recent tendency of this field.

	Theme Statement
		In recent years, cultural studies in Africa have privileged the study of memory and identity-and by implication, language-in efforts to understand the renewal of civil society, and the horrendous outbreaks of inter-ethnic, civil, and military violence on the continent.
		Development studies and environmental studies are probing beyond resources and cultural practice to incorporate how societies and individuals situate themselves vis-à-vis their neighbors and the physical world in which they live.
		Studies on the effects of economic policies on poor, rural, and disempowered communities are encouraged, as well as panels that discuss the role of national governments and international agencies including bilateral, multilateral, and non-governmental organization programs on economic growth and development.

	...that word 'Diaspora'
		Although the emergence of diaspora studies as ‘a subfield within the broader field of African studies’ is related by St. Clair Drake (452) and others (Harris, 4, Shepperson 1993, 41) to the late 1950s to mid-1960s, it was about a decade later that a proliferation of publications gained momentum.
		As far as studies of diasporas are concerned, this has led to the replacement of religion and religious identification in favour of ethnicity and ethnic adherence.
		The term ‘diaspora’ was naturally and unpretentiously used by the minority members as a description of their situation, also at times as an ‘excuse’ for shortcomings or changes.

	Irish Studies vs Irish Diaspora Studies
		For me, 'Irish Studies' ought to be an area of inter-disciplinary study, where the methods, and the rewards, of an inter-disciplinary approach should be self-evident.
		Thus 'Irish Diaspora Studies' transcends - and is not mesmerised by - the histories of individual nation states.
		This Discussion Paper, 'Irish Studies vs Irish Diaspora Studies', is the outline of a paper that was given at the Conference of the British Association for Irish Studies, Salford, England, September 1997.

		This statement is echoed throughout the study of migration and diaspora(3).
		Like many of those who study the hidden and the dispossessed, who try to hear the voices of the silenced, we are used to working ‘against the grain’ (as the phrase is) of the research record and the archives.
		This meant that the study of women’s history was shaped by the oppressor, and gave no account of women ‘functioning in that male-defined world on their own terms(32)’.

	Description \| African Diaspora Studies and the Disciplines \| 24-26 March 2006 \| Madison, WI

		Few efforts have, however, been made to clearly situate, delineate, and reflect on the practice of diaspora scholarship within the possibilities and constraints afforded and imposed by the disciplines.
		This is not a symposium for the presentation of primary research on the African diaspora; it is devoted solely to meta-level conceptual examinations of the practice of African diaspora studies within and at the intersection of the disciplines.

	Department History
		In addition to the development of African American Studies as a coherent and innovative discipline, departmental efforts are focused on fundamental reformulations of the theories, frameworks and methods employed for understanding race and ethnicity.
		We see all this as important to the department's stated mission of developing the theoretical and analytical frameworks for the study of Diasporic identity, of Diaspora Studies proper, and of Africa and the African Diaspora in particular by bringing together as wide a range of scholars as possible, both internationally, nationally, and campus-wide.
		Among the number of programs and activities organized by the African American Studies Department is included the annual Graduation Ceremony which is one of the largest events of the African American community held on the Berkeley campus.

		While the primary focus will be on the Irish Diaspora, the aim will be to encourage comparative studies where the Irish Diaspora is one case within wider analyses of international migration and transnational movements.

		Members of the Diaspora specialist group would be encouraged to submit panel suggestions for the PSAI and other conferences as research collaborations develop.
