Sponsorship of Panels at the 2024 Meeting of the AAS

Due By 25 July 2023

The Early Medieval China Group (EMCG) is happy to announce that it will sponsor up to two panels on topics related to the study of early medieval China that are to be proposed to the Association for Asian Studies Annual Conterence, either for the virtual conterence on March 1, 2024, or for the in-person conference in Seattle on March 14-17, 2024.

The subventions of up to $1,200 for the virtual panel and up to $1,700 for the in-person panel are intended to defray some of the costs of presenting research at the AAS Annual Meeting, including travel and registration expenses.

Proposed panels may extend beyond early medieval China (ca. 2nd-6th c. CE) to include the Han and/or Tang dynasties.
