We sponsor two types of events: webinars and workshops.

Webinar series

The webinar series spotlights current pragmatism research being done in Asia, as well as research on connecting pragmatism and Asian studies.

While our schedule for 2025 is now full, we welcome proposals to give presentations in 2026, especially from scholars resident in or dealing with West Asia, South Asia or Southeast Asia, in addition to East Asia.

1. Kevin Curtis Taylor (University of Memphis)
2. Johnathan Flowers (California State University, Northridge)
3. Juho Lindholm (independent scholar)
