Call for Proposals TLC Designated Panel for AAS 2025 | Due July 15, 2024

On behalf of the Thailand, Laos, Cambodia Study Group of the Association of Asian Studies, we
are pleased to issue this Call for Proposals for a TLC Designated Panel at the Annual AAS
conference to be held March 13-16, 2025 in Columbus, Ohio. TLC will designate one proposed
panel for guaranteed acceptance into the conference program.

We invite colleagues in Thai, Lao and Cambodian Studies to submit proposals for complete
panels, consisting of a panel title and abstract, paper titles and abstracts, author information
(name, institution, rank, email), chair and (if applicable) a discussant. Proposals will be ranked
according to overall scholarly excellence and the degree to which they make a meaningful
intellectual contribution to Thai, Lao and/or Cambodian studies. In addition, panels will be
evaluated by the degree to which they reflect TLC’s diverse membership in terms of career
stage, gender, nationality, race, and ethnicity.

TLC will provide up to $500 to help defray conference-related costs for presenters in the
Designated Panel (to be divided among panelists).

Proposals must be submitted by July 15, 2024. Please send full submissions to:
white.erick.d@gmail.com. The TLC Chair and Board will review and rank the proposals.

By August 1, 2023, the highest-ranked panel’s details will be communicated to SEAC/AAS to ensure
the panel’s selection. The TLC Chair will notify those whose panels were not selected for
designation. Proposals that are not selected may be subsequently submitted for regular review
by the AAS program committee. For this reason, proponents are urged to bear in mind AAS’s
diversity requirements when composing their proposals.
