The presentation will take place on Thursday\, March 31 at 6:15pm AMT and will be followed by a Q&A session starting at 6:45pm AMT. \nPrior registration for the event is required. Please register here. \nAbout the Book: \nDiasporan communities live in an extraterritorial space. They are in ‘permanent return’ to their territorially bounded homeland. The diasporans’ perception of national identity is set within a context of homeland-diaspora relations through the prism of space and place. In this book\, Vahagn Vardanyan examines relations between one of the ‘classical’ diasporas – the Armenians and the Republic of Armenia – from the perspectives of diasporans. As he argues\, these connections were transformed after Armenia acquired sovereignty in 1991. Over the three decades since then\, it has become possible to study diaspora-homeland relations as they are viewed by diasporans who have seen Armenia before and after Armenian independence and those for whom independent Armenia has always been a reality and never a diasporic dream. \nWith fewer ethnic Armenians living in Armenia than in the diaspora\, Armenia is increasingly viewed as responsible for becoming the cultural center for global Armenianness. What is needed to reach an understanding between the homeland and its diaspora? How can\, as diasporans see it\, the homeland’s policy toward the diaspora facilitate their return and strengthen the diasporans’ sense of belonging to the homeland? These are among the many questions Vardanyan attempts to answer while advocating an inclusionary policy toward the diaspora by a country that is home to only a third of the global nation it claims to represent. \nAbout the Speaker: \nVahagn was born in Yerevan. He received his first degree in Economics from the Armenian State University of Economics\, then – an MBA from AUA (1997)\, Master of International Affairs from Missouri State University\, followed by a doctorate in political geography from the National University of Singapore. With a decade of experience in banking in Armenia (including on senior leadership level)\, Vahagn Vardanyan has worked in academia in East and South-East Asia (Beijing\, Singapore\, Hong Kong) for the past 15+ years. In 2017\, Dr. Vardanyan joined Han Academy in Hong Kong as its Vice-Principal. \nVahagn Vardanyan has an active interest in national identity and homeland-diaspora relations. Over the years\, an active Armenian community member in Singapore and Hong Kong\, Vahagn Vardanyan\, has participated in various events of pan-Armenian importance conducted in Armenia. He has spoken in conferences and forums in Armenia\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia. \nVahagn Vardanyan writes on a range of national development issues in the Armenian popular press. The book he presents aims at emphasizing the significance of national identity\, how diasporans perceive it\, and the sense of belonging they carry. \nLanguage: English URL:https://newsroom.aua.am/event/book-presentation-armenian-national-identity-diaspora-and-space-of-belonging/ LOCATION:Akian Art Gallery\, 434W\, PAB CATEGORIES:Akian Art Gallery,Alumni,Events Calendar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://newsroom.aua.am/files/2022/03/Book_Presentation.png ORGANIZER;CN="Office of Alumni Relations":MAILTO:alumnirelations@aua.am END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Yerevan:20190927T183000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Yerevan:20190927T203000 DTSTAMP:20240328T220154 CREATED:20190904T080131Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190904T080218Z UID:34287-1569609000-1569616200@newsroom.aua.am SUMMARY:Alumni Homecoming 2019 DESCRIPTION:About the Event:  \nOn September 27th\, AUA welcomes all alumni back to their alma mater to celebrate AUA Homecoming 2019 and fill the day with love\, memories\, and friendship. Continuing its tradition of reuniting alumni\, AUA gives them the opportunity to return to their alma mater\, reflect on their time there and reconnected with the AUA community. \nLanguage: English  \n  URL:https://newsroom.aua.am/event/alumni-homecoming-2019/ LOCATION:AUA Main Building\, Large Auditorium\, Baghramyan Ave.\, 40\, Yerevan\, 0019 CATEGORIES:Alumni,Events Calendar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://newsroom.aua.am/files/2019/09/AUA_Alumni_Reunion_Event_Banner_fb-05.png ORGANIZER;CN="Office of Alumni Relations":MAILTO:alumnirelations@aua.am END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Yerevan:20181019T183000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Yerevan:20181019T203000 DTSTAMP:20240328T220154 CREATED:20181003T082411Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181003T082411Z UID:27403-1539973800-1539981000@newsroom.aua.am SUMMARY:Join us with your family and friends for Alumni Reunion 2018 DESCRIPTION:Join us at 6:30 PM on October 19\, 2018\, in the Large Auditorium\, AUA Main Building.
