CALL FOR PAPERS
 
AAP ADJUDICATED EMERGING SCHOLARS PANEL
 
 

The Association for Asian Performance (AAP) invites submissions for its
20th Annual Adjudicated Panel to be held during the Association for Asian
Performance annual conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, July 23-24, 2014,
which precedes the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE)
conference.
 

Anyone (current and recent graduate students, scholars, teachers, artists)
early in their scholarly career or who has not presented a paper at an AAP
conference before is welcome to submit work for consideration. To qualify
one need not necessarily be affiliated with an institution of higher
learning, although this is expected. Papers (8-10 double-spaced pages) may
deal with any aspect of Asian performance or drama. Preparation of the
manuscript in Asian Theatre Journal style, which can be gleaned from a
recent issue, is desirable.  Up to three winning authors may be selected
and invited to present their papers at the upcoming AAP conference.

Paper and project presentations should be no longer than twenty minutes. A
$100 cash prize will be awarded for each paper selected, to help offset
conference fees. AAP Conference registration fees are waived for
thewinners, who also receive one year free membership to AAP.

 
The Emerging Scholars Panel Adjudication Committee is chaired by Dr. Kathy
Foley, Editor of Asian Theatre Journal.  Selected papers will be strongly
considered for publication in ATJ, which is an official publication of AAP
and the Association for Theatre in Higher Education (ATHE). Those
interested in submitting work for review should email their paper
electronically to:

 
Dr. Emily Wilcox, 
Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies
Department of Asian Languages and Cultures
eewilcox at umich.edu

 
Deadline for Submissions: January 15, 2014
 
Winners will be notified by April 15, 2014

 
 
A separate cover sheet detailing the author's contact information-address,
phone number, and email address (for both academic year and summer
holiday) must accompany each submission. The author's name should not
appear in the text proper.

 
AAP is proud to sponsor this adjudicated panel. Not only is it a chance
for students and emerging scholars to get exposure and recognition for
their work, but it also provides an opportunity to meet and make contacts
with others who are interested in similar fields of research.

 
Please direct any inquiries regarding the emerging scholars panel to Dr.
Wilcox.
