CALL FOR PAPERS
New York Conference on Asian Studies – NYCAS 2011
The University at Buffalo, State University of New York
September 16-17, 2011
Conference theme: Asia at Work and Play
Plan NOW to participate in NYCAS 2011!
EARLY submission of panels and papers is encouraged!
The deadline for submitting proposals is May 2, 2011.
The University at Buffalo, State University of New York, will host the
47th annual meeting of the New York Conference on Asian Studies
(NYCAS), September 16-17, 2011.
The NYCAS 2011 program committee invites proposals for panels,
roundtables, and individual papers on all aspects of Asian and Asian-
American history, culture, and contemporary life, representing
disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, and professional
schools. Interdisciplinary proposals are also welcome.
We encourage scholars from New York State, neighboring states and
provinces, and beyond to share their research at the conference.
In formulating proposals, participants are encouraged to consider the
NYCAS 2011 theme —ASIA AT WORK AND PLAY— which calls attention to the
ways in which the labor and creativity of people in and from Asia have
transformed the world. The conference will feature an address by Dr.
Gail Hershatter, noted historian of Chinese gender and labor and
president of the Association for Asian Studies, as well as a wide
range of presentations and performances.
Panels and roundtables will be held at the Ramada Hotel and Conference
Center, adjacent to the university's North Campus, at 2402 North
Forest Road in Amherst, New York. A block of rooms has been reserved
at the Ramada for conference participants.
On Friday evening, September 16, NYCAS attendees will enjoy a plenary
speech by Melissa Chiu, Vice President for Global Art Programs at the
Asia Society, and an exhibition opening of work by students from the
Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. The Friday evening events
will be held at the Center for the Arts, University at Buffalo North
Campus, and cosponsored by the Confucius Institute at the University
at Buffalo. A Saturday morning teacher workshop on "The Arts in Asia"
is also planned.
