CALL FOR PAPERS

East Asian Anthropological Association

Annual Meeting

“East Asian Anthropology in a Roiling World: Pandemics, Politics, Potentials”

The Chinese University of Hong Kong

6-8 October 2023

The East Asian Anthropological Association is a scholarly association of teachers and students of anthropology based in East Asia and engaged in anthropological work on East Asia.  Its upcoming meeting will be in Hong Kong 6-8 October 2023. We hope that you will propose a panel or an individual paper for this conference. You do not need to be a member of EAAA at present in order to submit a panel or paper; you become a member automatically by attending this conference.    

Please fill out an EAAA panel proposal or EAAA individual paper proposal, which will require an abstract from you in English.  You can submit either a panel proposal, which should have 3-4 participants speaking on a common topic, or an individual paper proposal, which is your paper alone.  Individual paper proposals we will subsequently organize into panels.  Submitted panels have a somewhat better chance of being accepted for the conference than individual papers. This conference will be in-person, but if a given panel would like to be on-line rather than in-person, this can be accepted; however, there will be limited links to the conference as a whole.  It is very much recommended that you attend in person.

Please submit your proposal on-line to the hyperlinks supplied above by 15 May 2023. The program committee will make its decisions by 30 May, and will then send out acceptance notices, registration forms, and lodging information to all participants.  If you have any queries, please write to eaaa.2023.hk@gmail.com.

The conference will be held on 6-7 October at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, followed on 8 October by a tour of interesting Hong Kong places.  Registration will be US$100, and participants will pay for their own lodging. We will provide information about the nearby Hyatt hotel, Hong Kong’s famous Chungking Mansions, and other guesthouses; you will need to make your own bookings.  We will provide lunches and dinners and refreshments at the conference and on the tour.

We look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong in October!
