Call for Proposals: New England Association for Asian Studies Conference 2020

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for this year’s meeting of the New England Association for Asian Studies.  The conference will take place in Burlington at the University of Vermont on Saturday, October 17, 2020. The call is open to topics related to any issues in the study of Asia, across disciplines.  We are open to a variety of session styles, including individual papers, roundtable discussions, and panel proposals. Sessions will be 90 minutes. We are particularly interested in providing opportunities for advanced doctoral students to present the outcomes of their research. 

Proposals for individual papers or roundtables should be 250 words, and include name, title, and contact information.

Proposals for panels should be up to 400 words for the panel, and 200 words for each individual paper. They should include the name, title, and contact information for each panelist.

All proposals will be due June 5, 2020, at 5:00 pm EST, and can be uploaded through this Google form. Responses will be returned by the start of July. 

It is our hope that this conference will take place live at the University of Vermont. Given current conditions, it is of course impossible to guarantee that this will be the case. Therefore we will be making contingency plans for the conference to go virtual should the need arise.
