We encourage proposals for roundtable discussions devoted to research or pedagogical themes of interest to broad spectra of the AAS membership. Such proposals could feature more speakers (up to six) than a typical panel with the aim of encouraging dialogue between panelists and the audience. Themes might fall under several categories: conducting research in Asian archives; conducting research on comparative projects; "Intro to Asian Civ."; getting published; undergraduate research in the humanities; returning from language study programs abroad; etc. All roundtable proposals should include: full title of roundtable discussion topic, a brief abstract (fewer than 250 words) explaining its purpose, its issue(s)/theme(s), and scope, and each participant’s complete name, institutional affiliation, position, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address.
A COMPLETE PANEL consists of 3 or 4 paper presenters, plus a chair. (A panelist may also serve as the chair.) All panel proposals should include: full title of panel; brief abstract of panel (fewer than 250 words); each panelist's (and chair's, if applicable) complete name, institutional affiliation, position, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address; and brief abstract of each paper (fewer than 250 words).
INDIVIDUAL PAPER proposals should include the full title and a brief abstract of the paper (fewer than 250 words) and the participant's complete name, institutional affiliation, position, mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address.
