[Commlist] Call for participation for ACS Institute 2023

We are delighted to announce that the *call for participation for the 
ACS Institute 2023 is reopened*. The Institute 2023 will be held from 
*August 10 to 15* at *National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University* in 
Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Because Taiwan has now opened the border, and we hope to maintain the 
tradition of the Institute as a weeklong in-person pedagogical program, 
the event will be held primarily in person. *Applications are now 
reopened with a due date of April 26.* (please see more information below)

We cordially invite you, your colleagues, and your students to apply for 
participation in this event. Please feel free to share this event 
information with scholars and students in related fields. We would be 
delighted to see you at the institute in August.

*The ACS Institute 2023*will discuss the question of decolonization in 
the 21^st  century. We face the drastic increase in international 
migration and stateless persons, the prolonged pandemic, extensive 
digital surveillance, the prevalence of extended platform economies, the 
precarity of temporary laborers on land and at sea, environmental 
crisis, and climate change. Along with these developing conditions, the 
intensified social inequality worldwide also escalates.

**

*The ACS Institute 2023 will feature, but is not limited to, the 
following four interconnected dimensions:*

(I) Global Capitalism and Technologies of Governance

(II) Marginalized Populations, Stateless Persons and Migrant Laborers

(III) Environmental Justice/Injustice

(IV) Social Engagement and Art Intervention

*We welcome postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and 
advanced scholars*worldwide to share their ongoing projects with various 
disciplinary backgrounds: cultural studies, media and communication 
studies, critical legal studies, cultural sociology, literary studies, 
film studies, visual cultural studies, cultural anthropology, political 
philosophy, and related fields are all welcome.

The Institute will offer lectures, seminars, roundtables, and workshops 
for participants to spend the week learning from one another.The
