Dear Colleagues and Members of the SEC/AAS:

 
I am delighted to announce that the 54th Annual Meeting of the Southeast
Conference for Asian Studies will take place January 16–18, 2015, at
University of Virginia. Information about the conference can be found

diversity of our research and teaching on Asia. I invite you to

full panel of papers. Proposals must be submitted no later than October
