We look forward to receiving your submissions!e symposium aims to provide a platform for scholars and visionaries to engage in discussion, share insight and explore the diverse dimensions of futures as imagined, and as people have striven to realize them, from South Asian perspectives, including diaspora and transnational perspectives. 
We invite contributions that engage with ideas of the future from a variety of approaches. We welcome work that considers the possibilities of various alternative future trajectories; critical analysis of futurisms in fiction, visual arts, film, performance, or other expressive practices; historical engagement with prior orientations toward the future and their continued impact; ethnographic and historical analysis of movements aiming to build better futures; and more. We are especially interested in work oriented toward futures that are just, inclusive, equitable, sustainable, and allow collective flourishing.

The Spring Symposium will be held in person at the University of Hawai‘i at Månoa.
