On behalf of the Program Committee for the 2011 joint Association for Asian Studies (AAS) and International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) conference “70 Years of Asian Studies,” to be held at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu, we are pleased to invite colleagues in Asian Studies to submit proposals for Organized Panels, Roundtables, Workshops, and Individual Papers for sessions to be created by the Conference Committee.
The Committee seeks sessions that will engage panelists and audiences in the consideration of ideas, information, and interpretations that will advance knowledge about Asian regions and, by extension, will enrich teaching about Asia at all levels.
Because space constraints will not be a concern in 2011, we should be able to accommodate more than 400 panel sessions (compared to our usual 250), including substantially more panels comprised of individual paper proposals. The larger number of panel sessions will allow many more scholars to be on the formal program, thus facilitating institutional travel funding and maximizing attendance.
Institutions, organizations and affiliated groups are particularly encouraged to submit panel, roundtable, and workshop session proposals for the formal program, rather than as Meetings-in-Conjunction, which will be limited primarily to business meetings or social functions.
We look forward to your colleagueship at the Honolulu conference and to a program that reflects the culture and dynamism of both the AAS and ICAS, and celebrates the last 70 years of scholarship in the field of Asian Studies.
