CFP: New England AAS meeting (NEAAS) (15 Apr; 18 Oct; Boston)

The University of Massachusetts Boston is pleased to host the 2008 meeting of the New England Association for Asian Studies on October 18, 2008. The conference organizers invite proposals for papers, panels, and roundtables that explore various issues relevant to all areas of Asia. Each panel will be accorded 2 hours and should consist of three presenters and a discussant, or four presenters and no discussant. Please limit individual presentations to 20 minutes and discussant comments to 10 minutes to allow sufficient time for discussion and questions. To propose a panel or an individual paper, please complete the proposal form on the conference website and include an abstract of 250 words or less for each proposed paper. For roundtable proposals, fill out the form with information for each participant, and note in the comments field that you are proposing a roundtable. The deadline for proposals is April 15 -- a little early, so as to allow adequate time for participants to make their travel arrangements.
