Southeast Asia Papers and Panels at 2018 AAS Annual Conference

The Association for Asian Studies (AAS) is a scholarly, non-political, non-profit professional association open to all persons interested in Asia and the study of Asia. The Association for Asian Studies Annual Conference is the largest Asian Studies conference held in North America. This year it is being held in Washington, D.C., from March 22-25, 2018. Additionally, two panels (#217 and #259) are being organized by UH Mānoa faculty and students.

We have compiled Southeast Asia panels and papers here for your viewing convenience. We have also compiled a list of Southeast Asia films which will be screened at the conference.
