>(2) 1998 National Association for Asian American Studies Conference--
>1898-1998:  Rethinking Asian and Pacific Colonial/Post-colonial Nations,
>Identities, and Histories
>
>June 24-28, 1998
>Honolulu, Hawai'i
>Ilikai Hotel
>
>The year 1998 marks the 100th anniversary of the U.S. annexation of
>Hawai'i, the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico.  While the Philippines
>has attained political independence, the other annexed territories
>along with several Pacific Island states (e.g., American Samoa, Belau)
>continue under American colonial or neocolonial rule.  European powers
>also engaged in colonization of Asia and the Pacific, as did some Asian
>nations, most notably Japan.  In the contemporary situation, Asian and
>Pacific nations and their peoples are subject to new forms of political
>and economic dependency and subordination engendered by transnational
>capitalism, international labor migration, and the globalization of
>consumer culture.  In light of popular movements for sovereignty and
>independence, the historical developments and transformations over the
>past century resulting from American, European, and Asian colonial and
>neocolonial rule in Asia and the Pacific need to be reassessed.
>
>Next year's AAAS conference provides a timely opportunity for such a
>rethinking of the colonial/post-colonial status of Asian and Pacific
>nations and their cultures and peoples, particularly those living in
>the United States.  The Association encourages the submission of panels
>and papers that interrogate the political, economic, and cultural
>status of Asian and Pacific communities in the U.S. and their linkages
>with their homelands from historical and contemporary perspectives.
>
>PROPOSAL DEADLINE:   November 1, 1997.  For further information and
>proposal guidelines see AAAS homepage at
>(http://www.aasp.cornell.edu), or contact:  Asian American Studies
>Program, 420 Rockefeller Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853.

>Proposal Guidelines
>
>1.  Paper proposals must be typed, double-spaced, and include a title,
>the name of the presenter, and that person's institutional affiliation
>as these would appear in the final, printed program.  Panel proposals
>should bear a title, a chair, discussant and their institutional
>affiliations, and a proposal for each paper included in that panel.
>Each proposal must include a brief, two-page vitae of all the
>participants.
>
>Please Note.  It is the rule and policy of the Association that you can
>only present one paper per meeting (mega-sessions are excluded).  If you
>plan to submit more than one paper and/or panel proposal, please indicate
>your preference and priority.  Completed panels will be given first
>priority.
>
>2.  A paper proposal should not exceed 250 words, but must be full
>enough to enable the program committee to assess its contents.
>
>3.  The program committee encourages full panel proposals (usually
>comprised of two or three papers, with a chair and  discussant) as
>opposed to single paper submissions.  Although the latter are welcome,
>panel proposals stand a better chance of being accepted.
>
>Please Note.  In the past, most paper and panel proposals were accepted.
>Increasingly,  program committees have been far more selective, because of
>the large number of submissions.  Some of the criteria employed in the
>selection process include:  how the proposal expands upon the theme of the
>conference; the quality of the proposal and its contribution to the
>advancement of scholarship; how well each panel holds together, how each
>paper adds to the whole; and panel diversity (e.g., gender,  ethnicity,
>regional distribution).
>
>4.  The program committee welcomes individuals who wish to participate
>in the program as chairs or discussants, and not as paper  presenters.
>Those who are willing to serve in those capacities should so indicate
>and submit a brief, two-page vitae.
>
>5.  All of those selected for inclusion in the 1998 program must be
>members of the Association for Asian American Studies, or must join before
>participation in the conference.
>
>6.  Proposals must be received by November 1, 1997.
>
>7.  Requests for audio/visual equipment must be submitted by November 1,
>1997.  Because of increasing costs for audio/visual equipment, the
>Association reserves the right to passon rental charges to panelists.
