ymposium on Difference and Constitutionalism in Asia

As current events demonstrate, countries around the world look to their constitutions as a means to address lines of division within society.  Join us for a symposium that will explore how countries across pan-Asia – a region stretching from Turkey in the west through the Pacific Islands in the East – have looked to their constitutions when dealing with the challenge of societal difference.  Panels will explore issues such as religion, race and ethnicity, language, the urban-rural divide, and gender and the experiences of more than 14 countries across pan-Asia. 

When:             March 4-5, 2011
                        Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
                        Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Where:           IU Maurer School of Law
                        211 S. Indiana Ave.
                        Bloomington, IN  47405

All sessions are free and open to the public.  Further information can be found in the attached and at the symposium website.  Please feel free to share this invitation broadly with your students, faculty, and colleagues.
