CFP: Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs--NEW DEADLINE (30 June; 19-21 Oct; St. Louis)

MCAA has extended the deadline for their October conference until the end of June. That gives you a whole extra month--after a couple weeks of decompression--to put together a proposal. They're happy with complete panels but happy as well with individual papers. This is a very easy, low pressure environment in which to get experience presenting at conferences. Nudge.
