The Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) would
like to invite undergraduates and graduate students at your university to
join us in expanding the global understanding of Asian and international
relations at our annual summer conference in Asia.

HPAIR is a partnership between the students and faculty of Harvard
University, offering a sustained academic program and a forum of exchange
to facilitate discussion of the most important economic, political, and
social issues relevant to the Asia-Pacific region. HPAIR's international
conference has emerged as the largest annual Harvard event in Asia and the
largest annual student conference in the Asia-Pacific region, attracting a
wide variety of distinguished speakers and future leaders as Harvard's
student outpost in Asia. Past speakers at our conferences include South
Korean President Kim Young Sam, Governor General of Australia Peter
Hollingworth, Singapore President S.R. Nathan and Malaysian Prime Minister
Mahathir Mohamad.

Our conference this year, co-hosted by the University of Tokyo, will be
held on August 22-25th, 2005 in Tokyo, Japan. The theme will be
"Contemporary Challenges and Emerging Realities". Our workshops will focus
on the following six topics:

* Interests, Institutions and Identities: Understanding Security Issues in
East Asia

* A Matter of Trust: The Role of Trust in Shaping Civil Society and Rule
of Law in Asia

* Higher Education and Active Citizenship: The Public Role of Universities
in East Asia

* Global Health Care Systems: Working Towards a Higher Health Standard

* Reinventing Diaspora: Exploring Globalization through Human Migration

* Visualizing Asia: Global Culture and National Narratives in
Contemporary "Asian" Art

The HPAIR Conference extends invitation to university students at all
levels. Please go to http://www.hpair.org/ to apply. We are looking
