The MOSOC is a multi-disciplinary conference which provides a forum for the presentation of new research on Mongolia and Mongols in Australia. The conference provides an opportunity for scholars with interests in Mongolia to meet, to hear each other's work and to exchange ideas and information. It emphasizes interaction between younger and established scholars and between Mongolists and those with a comparative interest in Mongolian Studies. The conference is open to all. There is no registration fee. The Mongolian Studies Centre has a very limited amount of funding available to assist participants with travel or accommodation costs.

Call for papers and panels

The Mongolian Studies Centre now invites proposals for papers and panels. Papers will be presented in panel sessions of three papers with a discussant. Proposals for papers should include a title and an abstract of 150 words as well as a bionote of 100 words. Please send proposals to Professor Li Narangoa (li.narangoa@anu.edu.au) by 27 September 2011.

Travel and accommodation grants

Six grants to a maximum value of $300 each are available to honours and postgraduate students attending the conference from out of town. Selection will be on the basis of the quality of the paper proposal submitted. If you wish to be considered for a grant, please indicate when you submit your proposal.
