Association for Asian Studies Annual Conference 2026 (AAS2026 @ Vancouver)

The Southeast Asia Council (SEAC) of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) seeks panel and/or roundtable session proposals. SEAC will select two of these sessions, which will be accepted directly into the Annual Conference program without going through a Program Committee review.

SEAC-designated sessions receive $1,000 in support from the annual AAS subvention to SEAC.

Please provide a working title, the name of the prospective organizer(s), a panel title and abstract (250 words), and paper titles and abstracts (250 words per paper). Please follow the format of the standard AAS panel or roundtable session proposal.
Completed applications should be sent to the attention of SEAC-designated sessions 2026 to the following address: seacdesignatedpanels@gmail.com by the July 11, 2025 deadline. Late submissions will not be considered. The session is intended to be focused on Southeast Asia. Submissions that do not substantively address issues about the region will not be considered.
