Description:

The AAS-in-Asia conferences are intended to be smaller size conferences than the typical AAS Annual Conferences.

Although smaller in size, these conferences include the same exciting features as the Annual Conference including sessions, keynote speakers, book exhibits and receptions. AAS-in-Asia 2018 is a joint production between the Association for Asian Studies and Ashoka University.
