ACAH seeks submissions for two sponsored panels at the 2027 Association for Asian Studies Annual Conference (Boston, MA, March 18-21, 2027). ACAH is pleased to sponsor two panels for which the majority of the papers (two out of three; three out of four) focus on Chinese art and architectural history and the visual cultures of global and diasporic Chinas, from any historical period. The amount of funding, if any, will be determined at a later date prior to the conference, and awards, if any, will be made by reimbursement, excluding AAS conference registration.
To apply, please submit the following in one pdf file by October 23, 2026 to achinesearthistory@gmail.com: (1) confirmation of panel acceptance, (2) panel and paper abstracts, (3) CVs of each panelist.
Panelists are encouraged to become members of ACAH, but are not required to do so in order to apply for or accept AAS panel sponsorship. Applicants may not have received AAS panel sponsorship from ACAH in consecutive years.
Notification will be made by November 20, 2026.
The China Project Workshop, founded in 2011, is open to anyone interested in premodern Chinese art or archaeology. It takes place monthly at the Institute of Fine Arts, 1 East 78 Street. The Workshop meets eight times each year, from September to December and February to May, attracting on average an audience of around 40 people. Presentations are usually in English but are occasionally in Chinese.
The Visual and Material Perspectives on East Asia Workshop (VMPEA) is oriented toward the study of visual and material objects, built environments, and the relationship between text and image from East Asia. It explores a plethora of visual and textual materials across a variety of historical periods and geographic locations in order to understand socio-political, cultural, and historical aspects of China, Japan, and Korea. While being based in art history, the Workshop is committed to interdisciplinary inquiries and perspectives, including but not limited to archaeology, anthropology, architecture, literature, religious studies, cinema and media studies, and museum studies.
