2015 AAS CFP

There is rarely much philosophy, or even intellectual history, at the annual Association for Asian Studies conference, but here follows the Call for Papers. Anyone interested in organizing a panel on a Chinese-philosophy related theme might want to use the comments section to seek out other interested parties.

Each spring the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) holds a four-day conference devoted to planned programs of scholarly papers, roundtable discussions, workshops, and panel sessions on a wide range of issues in esearch and teaching, and on Asian affairs in general.

The Program Committee is now accepting panel proposals for consideration to present at the 2015 AAS Annual Conference scheduled to take place March 26-29, 2015 in Chicago, IL.

For more information on submitting a proposal, please visit the AAS Call for papers webpage. www.asian-studies.org/Conference/Call-for-Papers.htm

DEADLINE FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS IS AUGUST 7, 2014, 5:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
