New England Association for Asian Studies Annual Meeting

Amherst College and the University of Massachusetts Amherst are pleased to co-host the annual meeting of the New England Association for Asian Studies on October 20-21, 2012.

The NEAAS Program Committee welcomes proposals for panels, roundtables or individual presentations that address the history, societies, political and economic systems, languages and literary/visual cultures of Asia. Panels and roundtables that take an innovative approach to format (interdisciplinary, creative, mixed media) are welcome, as are traditionally organized academic panels. We also encourage roundtables that address the state of the field.

All proposals are due August 1, 2012.

Inquiries about the conference can be addressed to either of the co-chairs of the Program Committee:
