The American Association for Chinese Studies (AACS) annual conference program committee would like to invite
proposals for panels, roundtables, and individual papers researching on issues concerning China, Taiwan, other
Chinese-speaking communities, and the Chinese diaspora for the 64th Annual Conference, hosted by the University
of Denver in Denver, Colorado, October 7-9, 2022. We welcome panels and papers from such disciplines as
economics, education, history, international studies, literature, political science, public policy, and sociology. The
2022 conference will feature the world-renowned Taiwanese writer, Li Ang, as the keynote speaker; we
especially welcome panels discussing the literary, social, cultural, and political significance of her works. Our
second keynote speaker will be Dr. Yau-Jr (Tristan) Liu, CEO of Taiwan Thinktank and Vice President of
Taipei University of Marine Technology. The AACS meeting seeks to offer a forum for interdisciplinary exchanges
and policy dialogues, and it intends to construct a balanced program with panels on diverse issues of significance for
scholarly pursuit and knowledge advancement.
The AACS is an interdisciplinary association devoted to the study of subjects related to China and Taiwan
(http://aacs.ccny.cuny.edu/homepage.htm). Submissions from all disciplines are welcome. Membership in AACS is
required for participation in the annual conference, and non-members are welcome to submit proposals, join the
Association, and participate in the annual conference. We encourage submissions from graduate students, junior and
senior scholars, and domestic and overseas participants.
The program committee prefers proposals for panels (a chair, 2-3 papers, and a discussant) and roundtables (a chair
and 3-4 other panelists) concerning special events or topics of broad significance. We also encourage individual paper
proposals on various themes.
