AAS 2020 CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Dear Colleagues:

On behalf of the Program Committee for the Association for Asian Studies, I
am pleased to issue the Call for Proposals for the AAS Annual Conference to
be held March 19-22, 2020 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel and the Hynes
Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts.

We are pleased to invite colleagues in Asian studies to submit proposals
for Organized Panels, Roundtables, Workshops, and Individual Paper
proposals. Additionally, new for 2020, the AAS is also now accepting
roundtable, workshop and Lightning Session Presentation proposals in
Digital Technology. The program committee seeks sessions that will advance
knowledge about Asian regions and, by extension, will enrich teaching about
Asia at all levels. AAS Membership is not a requirement for the submission
of a proposal or participation.

Please see the three-step guide below to start your submission process. The
deadline for submission of all proposals and AAS International Exchange
Travel Grants requests (formerly LDC) is Tuesday, August 6 at 5:00 pm
Eastern Time. All proposals must be submitted electronically via the AAS
electronic submission application. We will not accept proposals submitted
via email. This proposal submission application will be available beginning
Tuesday, June 18 through Tuesday, August 6, 2019. After the submission
deadline, all proposals will be forwarded to the appropriate program
committee members for review. You will find detailed instructions in the
right-hand column of this screen.

If you have any questions regarding proposal submissions that are not
answered in this Call for Proposals or the FAQ’s, please contact the AAS
Conference Manager at AASconference at asian-studies.org.

We look forward to an exciting and intellectually stimulating conference in
the historic city of Boston.

Sincerely,

Joan Judge, York University
AAS 2020 Program Committee Chair
