The East Asian Studies Center at The Ohio State University is pleased to host the 74th Annual Meeting of the Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs (MCAA). We welcome proposals for panels, roundtables, individual papers, and workshops from all disciplines focusing on East and Inner Asia, Northeast Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Asian Diaspora, as well as comparative, inter-Asian, and global Asia topics. Faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students and independent scholars from all regions are encouraged to share their work, receive feedback, and network at the conference. MCAA also awards several student prizes at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
