CFP: Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs (31 July; 10-12 Oct; Northfield, Minn.)

Remember that MCAA is a very supportive place to get started presenting in the field as a grad student. And, unlike the national conference, you still have a good chance of getting accepted even if you don't propose a full panel (tho' full panel proposals are generally stronger and preferred). Why not give it a shot?

Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs

St. Olaf College and Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, will host the 57th MCAA from October 10 to October 12, 2008. Most events will be on the St. Olaf College campus, and a shuttle will provide transportation to events at Carleton College, five minutes away. We invite submissions from all academic disciplines on topics examining Asia and its sub-regions.

Proposals for panels and individual papers are due July 31, 2008.
The early-registration deadline is September 15, 2008.

Registration and Check-in will be at Buntrock Commons on the St. Olaf College campus.

Highlights of the conference include the Keynote Address by the president of the Association for Asian Studies, Professor Robert Buswell, UCLA.
