Call for Papers for the 49^th Annual Conference

American Association for Chinese Studies

University of Richmond

October 5-7, 2007

We invite proposals for panels, roundtables, and papers concerning China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and other Chinese societies for the 49^th Annual Conference of AACS, which is being hosted by the University of Richmond. Although membership in AACS is required for participation in the Annual Meeting, non-members are welcome to join the Association and to participate in the Annual Meeting.

The program committee prefers proposals for complete panels (a chair, 2-3 papers, and 1-2 discussants) and roundtables (a chair and 3-4 other participants). The committee also welcomes proposals for individual papers and will attempt to place the presenter on an appropriate panel. As in the past, panels and roundtables concerning special events or topics of broad significance are especially welcome. All proposals should include short abstracts. Overall, our goal is to construct a balanced program including panels representing the humanities, social sciences, and business-related disciplines.

Please send your proposal, preferably by e-mail, to the program co-chairs. Make sure that you include complete contact information (address, telephone number, and e-mail). The deadline for proposals is May 1, 2007. Scholars submitting proposals by this deadline will be notified about their inclusion in the program by June 15^th.

President’s Message

Dear AACS members,

Time has gone by very quickly and my term as the president of this prestigious organization ends on December 31, 2006. My last official function as president will be writing this letter. I would like to first thank Professor Yenna Wu for her hard work and courage to host the 48^th annual conference. Furthermore, I would like to show my appreciation to the program chair Cal Clark and his program committee members for putting together a very impressive program. My thanks also goes to all those who attended and participated in our annual conference, without whom there would be no conference at all.

As China continues to emerge as a major power on the world stage, Chinese studies of Taiwan and China become more important in playing a role as a bridge between China, Taiwan, and the rest of the world. The cross straight relations between China and Taiwan will become increasingly significant to the peace of this region and to the security of the world.

A few years ago Hollywood made a movie called Big Fish. The major actor was a car salesman from a small town. Each time he traveled he encountered some extraordinary situation, which provided him a grand adventure. When he returned home to share his “big fish” stories, nobody believed him. As a Professor at Franklin College for 35 years and I have made a few similar journeys myself and returned with big fish stories. One of these stories happens to be my success within the AACS. I would like to thank all the board members for giving me the opportunity to serve as the president of this association and giving me one last chance to tell a big fish story. Finally, I wish to confer my confidence in President Jerry Macbeth’s new leadership of the AACS. I wish everybody happy holidays and a prosperous new year.

Sincerely yours,

Yu-Long Ling

From Managing Editor of the American Journal of Chinese Studies

The American Journal of Chinese Studies continues to grow in terms of individual and institutional circulation. The institutional subscriptions, which I deal with, are increasing at approximately 5 percent annually. It is particularly gratifying that both the Library of Congress and the British Library are now on the subscription list, the two largest libraries in the free world. The presence of the AJCS in these two libraries increases the visibility of journal, its authors, and the Association for Chinese Studies.

The AJCS has a strong interest in manuscripts dealing with Taiwan. In the October 2006 issue, two articles deal with Taiwan and one with Taiwan/China. Readers of this Newsletter are urged to submit Taiwan related manuscripts. As in the past, the AJCS will continue to publish articles dealing with China. All manuscripts are refereed, and the journal is always looking for high quality manuscripts.

From AACS New President

November 22, 2006 Dear AACS Members: I’m deeply honored to have been elected as president of the AACS for the next two years. I’ve enjoyed participating in our association over many years, and look forward to working closely with board members and serving the membership in the future. Planning is already underway for the 49^th annual meeting next October (2007) at the University of Richmond,

and we are in the debt of TJ Cheng and Cal Clark, co-chairs of the program committee, and Vincent Wang, local arrangements chair, for their energetic work. AACS celebrates its 50^th anniversary in 2008, a milestone for the association and also a year of great significance because of presidential elections in the U.S. and Taiwan and the Beijing Olympics. Please let me know if you would be willing to join the preparatory committee for the 50^th annual meeting. Among the charges to this committee are: · finding ways to honor the founders of our association; · recording important events in our history; · selecting a venue for the 50^th meeting; and · discussing ways to expand and enrich associational life My very best wishes to all for a joyous holiday season, and for prosperity and good health in the western and Chinese New Years!

Respectfully,

Jerry McBeath

Report from the Secretariat Office

After a successful annual conference, I would like to make commendations to several people of our organization. It is my pleasant duty to express our gratitude to Professor Yenna Wu for her tremendous demanding job in hosting the 48^th annual conference at the University of California-Riverside. The AACS is indebted to her for her significant contributions in managing so many tedious administrative red tapes so as to make our annual conference a successful one. I would also like to thank Professor Cal Clark at Auburn University for his role as the chair of the Program Committee organizing a well-balanced conference program with 24 panels and an independent plenary session delivered by Prof. Philip F. Williams from Massey University of New Zealand as well as an excellent keynote speech given by Steve Chan from the University of Colorado.

Of course, I realized it was highly inconvenient for many conference participants due to the cancellation of one-way free shuttle bus service from the hotel back to Ontario airport. The hotel changed its management after the AACS signed the contract with the Holiday Inn Express. The new owner of the hotel sold the only van the hotel had before the transition, and subsequently cancelled the previous commitment of providing our group with free shuttle bus service back to Ontario airport on Sunday. The incident occurred in such short notice that it prevented me from notifying everyone ahead of time. I must apologize for any inconvenience caused by the incident.

Looking forward to the 49^th annual conference under the leadership of Professor Vincent Wang at the University of Richmond, I have confidence in minimizing any inconvenience and to make a pleasant conference for our group on October 5-7, 2007 in Richmond, Virginia.

To enhance the visibility of our organization, the AACS has posted all conference papers presented at its website from now on. So far, I have received nearly thirty complete papers presented at the annual conference. We will continue this endeavor to further improve the quality of our conference program to attract more and more people to come. Once again, thank you for your cooperation.

Please contact me if I could be of any further service to the AACS and to you as an individual member of this organization. Best wishes for your endeavors. Happy Holidays.

Peter C.Y. Chow
