Welcome to the University of Kansas!
Dear MCAA/SWCAS Joint Conference Participants,
It is with great pleasure that we at the Center for East Asian
Studies at the University of Kansas welcome you to our campus for the first joint conference of the Midwest Conference
on Asian Affairs and the Southwest Conference of Asian Studies. Geographically situated at the juncture between these two
groups, KU has had a long history of engagement with MCAA,
having hosted the MCAA conference on five previous occasions.
This is the first time we have had the opportunity to welcome the
SWCAS to Lawrence, however, and as it has been many years
since the MCAA was held in Lawrence, this is likely the first trip
here for many MCAA members as well. We invite you to take
advantage of this great opportunity for scholarly exchange with
your colleagues from institutions around the Midwest, Great
Plains, and Southwest to explore KU’s library and art museum,
both of which have particularly strong East Asian collections,
and to enjoy yourselves in one of America’s great college towns.
We received a number of full-panel proposals, but also quite
a few individual paper proposals, and we have endeavored to
group papers around thematic or topical connections, though in
some cases the connections may seem a bit tenuous. In the spirit
of intellectual collaboration across disciplines, rank, and age
groups, we have also (except in the case of one full-panel proposal) not distinguished between undergraduates, graduate students, professors, and independent scholars as we put the panels
together. We hope that both young and established scholars will
embrace this opportunity to present their work side by side.
If you need assistance with anything while you are here, please
do not hesitate to ask one of us.
With best wishes for a stimulating and successful MCAA/
SWCAS joint conference,
Megan Greene
Director, Center for East Asian Studies
University of Kansas
