The Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Washington University in St. Louis is hosting the 64th Annual Meeting of the Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs, October 16-18, 2015. The MCAA seeks to promote Asian studies both at the university and the secondary and primary levels and particularly to encourage scholarly interchange between Asianists located in the Midwest, though scholars from all regions are invited to participate.
Proposals are solicited for panels, roundtables, individual papers, posters, and “diamond presentations” in all fields dealing with East, South, and Southeast Asia, the Asian Diaspora, and topical and comparative panels. Faculty, graduate, and undergraduate students, as well as independent Asianists, are encouraged to participate and attend.
Proposals are due May 31, 2015. Persons presenting papers must be members of MCAA and should pre-register by August 31, 2015.
The MCAA also awards a number of student prizes at the graduate and undergraduate level. More information about the deadlines for these prizes will be posted soon. Please keep an eye on the website.
