On behalf of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR), the College of Integrative Studies at the Singapore Management University, with support from the Department of History of the National University of Singapore, is pleased to host the inaugural SHAFR-in-Asia Pacific Workshop for scholars of U.S. foreign relations and/or international history based outside of North America and Europe and in institutions of the Asia Pacific.
The two-day workshop will take place March 3–4, 2026, on the campus of the Singapore Management University (SMU).
The organizing committee welcomes applications from authors who intend to both workshop their works-in-development as well as serve as discussants of other participants’ works-in-development. Additionally, we welcome applicants who wish to serve only as discussants, though author-discussants will be prioritized. Works-in-development could consist of full drafts of a journal article or edited volume chapter, up to two chapters of a book manuscript in progress, or a dissertation chapter.
The workshop will pair each author with one discussant for an in-depth critique of their works-in-development. To ensure the workshop’s effectiveness, participation is capped at 20 authors/discussants.
In addition to the workshops, there will be plenary sessions scheduled for participants to discuss possible collaborative research projects and publications as well as plans for future workshops in the region.
The deadline for applications is October 1, 2025.
