[Other dates to note: see calendar.]
The Executive Committee invites proposals for panels, roundtables, and individual papers to be presented at the 2006 Asian Studies Conference Japan. It especially welcomes proposals that, by focusing on more than one region or by drawing on more than one discipline, will attract a broad range of scholarly interest.
Panels are proposed by individual scholars around a common subject. Panels are composed of three or four paper presenters and one or more discussants. Panel proposals should include a 250 word (maximum) abstract from each participant as well as a 250 word (maximum) statement that explains the session as a whole.
--> Online form for panel proposals.
Roundtables offer an opportunity for participants to discuss a specific theme, issue or significant recent publication. A maximum of six active participants is recommended. While a roundtable proposal will not be as detailed as a panel proposal, it should explain fully the purpose, themes or issues, and scope of the session.
--> Online form for roundtable proposals.
Individual papers give scholars an opportunity to participate in the conference even if they are not able to put together a complete panel. Since only a limited number of individual papers can be accommodated, preference will be given to junior scholars. Your paper has a better chance of acceptance as part of a panel. Paper proposals should include a 250 word (maximum) abstract.
--> Online form for individual paper proposals.
Please note that no person can appear on the program more than once. The one exception is the doubling up of roles within a given panel (organizer/chair for example, or organizer/presenter).
If you are considering making a proposal, you will find it useful to examine the onlines forms now, in order to see exactly what information you need to provide, and how it should be formatted.
