This time our conference discusses topics relating to Mongolian peoples and their neighbours in various situations of challenge caused by natural, cultural, social, and political circumstances. We would like to bring a broad approach to the discussion, based on diverse historical and contemporary perspectives on the geographical regions where Mongolian communities live and have lived. The focus of the discussion will be on local and global challenges and choices. We encourage you to look at the specific strategies used in dealing with various concerns, complicated configurations, and processes. The conference will give the opportunity to talk about outcomes of, and perspectives on, individual, group and national responses. We will also offer reflections on languages, oral and written narratives, religious practices, ethnic and communal identities, national and political ideologies, migrations, cultural movements, popular trends, etc. As an overall framework for these regular conference we take 'tradition' in the fullest possible sense of linguistic and research meanings (traditions old and new, ‘invented’ and ‘original’, ongoing and intermittent, individual and collective, as found within diverse spheres of life including historical, cultural, folk, religious, social, political and other dimensions). 'Modernity' is also to be understood broadly, embracing a variety of challenges to contemporary societies and cultures.
