Critical Directions in Comparative Austronesian Studies

27-28 January, 2010
Australian National University
Canberra, ACT, Australia

It has been over ten years since the publication of The Austronesians
(1995) and even longer since the ANU conference was held from which
that volume emerged. A great deal of research has been done in
archaeology, anthropology, linguistics and genetics since that time,
as well as numerous integrationist studies. It is now appropriate to
take stock of what has been discovered and what can be learned from
it. It is essential, however, to begin with the presentation of new
evidence.

For that reason, we have proposed this Workshop, scheduled for the
28th and 29th of January, to be held at the ANU with the aim of
bringing together researchers who can present critical evidence, and
who are willing to discuss their findings from different perspectives.
At this stage, we are not asking for definitive papers or summation
statements. Rather we hope that the Workshop will provide a forum for
the consideration of what we know, what we think we know, and what we
need to focus on for the development of future research.
