Every year in the spring, the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) holds its annual four-day conference devoted to planned programs of scholarly papers, round table discussions and panel sessions on a wide range of issues in research and teaching, and on Asian affairs in general. The conference is one of the most important annual scholarly events in Asian Studies. The HYI will host a reception at the meeting. The reception is an excellent opportunity for meeting other scholars as well as learning about new programs and opportunities at HYI.
