From The Executive Director
Welcome to the AAS 2021 Annual Conference!
This year, the Association for Asian Studies turns 80 years old~ Whatbegan as a quarterly publication dedicated to the study of East Asia hassince blossomed into the largest membership organization in the world
devoted to Asian Studies. For our eighth decade, we will continue
to strive to support fully this international community of Asianists
through publications, research support, curriculum support, outreach, and digital media programs.
We remain committed to fostering greater diversity and equity amongst our constituents, as wellas to facilitating greater accessibility to all of our programs. Thank you for participating in AAS
programs and for participating in our annual conference.
As most of you are aware, this is our first virtual annual conference in the history of the
Association. Last year, in preparation for the Boston conference, we had been so excited about
many of the new supports and programs we had instituted, such as onsite childcare, mentoring
sessions, and late-breaking panel sessions. In the months preceding the annual conference thatwas scheduled to take place in Seattle, we had remained hopeful that we could meet face-toface. However, the unpredictability of the global health crisis caused us to re-evaluate and begin
planning for this virtual event. The success of the AAS-in-Asia virtual regional conference inpartnership with The International Academic Forum and Osaka University demonstrated that avirtual event could be possible.
We are very appreciative of your flexibility, patience, and understanding as we have worked
through the many challenges of planning and implementing an online event of this size. While
we recognize the important of face-to-face meetings, we can all agree that the health and safetyof all conference participants must come first. In addition, over the past year, we have had many
opportunities to reflect on and consider the ways by which technology can bring us together
without leaving home.
This year, you will have many opportunities to interact with fellow participants throughnetworking sessions and social events, and we are very grateful to many of you for volunteering
to share your ideas and talents with us. Our mentorship programs will continue this year, andwe hope to see many participate. The new virtual format has made it possible for an increased
number of individual paper presentations to take place and we are thankful to program committee
members for stepping in to chair these sessions. In addition, we did not let the distance stop us
from featuring performances from Japan of the amazing Chindon-ya and the Aeolian Trio.
The keynote address is sponsored by the Harvard-Yenching Institute and will be delivered by
Tiejun Wen who will present on “Ecological Civilization and Rural Vitalization: China’s Strategy
amid the Global Crises.” The Henry Luce Foundation is sponsoring a plenary session dedicatedto the discussion of issues of race and inequities in Asia and Asian Studies. In addition, Chiang
Ching-kuo Foundation, the Japan-US Friendship Commission, the Henry Luce Foundation, andthe Korea Foundation have contributed to supporting designated regional sessions and to ensuring
diverse participation in this annual conference.
Please be sure to keep in mind, as you look through the schedule, that all times are listed in
Eastern Standard time and please be sure to adjust your schedule accordingly. If you are unable
to attend a session at its scheduled time, no worries. Pre-recorded sessions will be available forviewing on-demand immediately following the original broadcast.
The annual conference remains a crucial opportunity for strengthening core values while serving
an increasingly complex community of Asianists. The AAS 2021 Virtual Annual Conference
brings together the many gifts and perspectives of participants. Together, our unique backgrounds
and contributions form the core of our strength as a community. Thank you for being a part ofhistory and have fun!

Sincerely,
Hilary V. Finchum-Sung, Ph.D.
Executive Director, Association for Asian Studies

Thursday, March 25
5:30pm - 7:00pm ET

EASTERN
TIME (ET)The plenary session is sponsored by:Race and Racisms in Asia/Asian Studies
Due to its imperialist origins, the field of Asian Studies both inherits and perpetuates racist
hierarchies premised on white supremacy and Black abnegation. Scholars of Asia must therefore
confront the uncomfortable fact that studying Asia is neither anti-racist nor apolitical. Afterall, “Asia” and “Asian” are not neutral categories. Historically and today, these terms havepaired phenotype (“yellow” skin) with supposedly distinctive modes of governance (“Oriental
despotism”) or ostensibly immutable ethical orientations (“Confucian values”). Anti-Black
racism and ethnic, caste, and religious discrimination have also featured in Asian societies pastand present, while essentialist notions of indigeneity and occupational purity have dictated who
has a voice in both politics and academe. Although exclusionary thinking and hierarchies ofdifference are rife, a more inclusive and equitable Asian Studies is possible. This panel brings
together scholars working on various regions and time periods to discuss how the straightforward
profundity of saying that Black Lives Matter can fundamentally reorient Asian Studies teaching
and research. Asian Studies may be intrinsically political, but our work can strive for justicerather than oppression.

Special Concert — Aeolian Trio

EASTERN
TIME (ET)

Scheduled Concert: Thursday, March 25, 4:30pm - 5:25pm
Access: Open to general public

The Aeolian Trio started in 2015 when
California-native Bruce Huebner met
Kyushu-born guitarist Koufuu Suwa
aboard a ship sailing from India to
Greece. Bruce, the first non-Japaneseto graduate from the prestigious Tokyo
University of Fine Arts and Music in
shakuhachi bamboo flute, has been
based in Japan for over 35 years.
Meanwhile, Koufuu is a self-taught
guitar, banjo, flamenco, jazz player,
who dropped out of the Japan Defense
Force Academy to study music, and has worked his way up the Tokyo cabaret scene becoming a
top studio musician (currently bandleader for nationally famous singer Keisuke Yamauchi.) The
American shakuhachi player and Japanese guitarist were joined in 2018 by veteran New York
drummer Todd Isler -- another avid student of world music -- including Brazilian, African, andSouth Indian (in 2005 he published “You Can Ta Ka DI MI This, - the South Indian Syllable
System for all Musicians.”) Since an artist residency at St. Lawrence University, New York in2018 the trio has conducted two Japan tours and recorded their first CD, A Rare Bird. These rarebirds perform in the spirit of warping the boundaries between their adopted traditions - and forthe sheer pleasure of making music.

Musical Performances – Chindon’ya

Performances during the Opening Ceremony and Closing Ceremony
Access: Open to general public

Chindon’ya is Japan’s unique, original form of street
musical advertisement practice, which emerged at theend of the 19th century. Ostentatiously and colorfully
costumed, these street musicians can be hired by any
business for the day, and roam through the neighborhoodstreets playing an assortment of musical instruments
to marshal the residents and passersby’s attention andto publicize the client. Hailing from Osaka, Chindon
Tsūshinsha is a renowned chindon’ya group in Japan,
considered the best and most visible. Founded in 1984 andled by Kojiro Hayashi, Chindon Tsūshinsha maximizes
its mobility, friendliness and flexibility, providing abreath of fresh air in the industry. Chindon Tsūshinsha
has contributed to refine the ad agency in the streets
into a more sophisticated and eccentric performance, expanding the diversity of their work. The
beloved troupe has presented their unique performance not only in Japan but also more than 20
cities around the world as an ad agency, performer and culture ambassador.

Association for Asian Studies 2021 Annual ConferenceAnti-Harassment Policy

Anti-Harassment Standards

The Association for Asian Studies (AAS) strives
to provide a safe and welcoming environment at
its programs and events that are free from bias andintimidation for all participants. The Association
does not tolerate discrimination or any forms ofharassment, including but not limited to sexual
harassment. No form of discriminatory or harassing
conduct by or towards any employee, member,volunteer, attendee, vendor, or other person
participating in AAS programs or events will betolerated. The AAS is committed to enforcing its
policy at all levels within the Association. Anyone
who engages in discrimination or harassment
conduct will be subject to discipline, up to andincluding expulsion from the AAS program or
event, and possible revocation of membership in theassociation.

The AAS prohibits any disrespectful verbal or nonverbal conduct that is based on an individual’s sex(including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender
identity, race, ethnicity, color, religion, national
origin, age, marital status, disability, employment
status, or seniority and that creates an intimidating,hostile, or abusive environment.

If anyone experiences or witnesses any violationof the AAS’s anti-harassment policy at an
AAS program or event, they should report
the incident immediately to the Executive
Director (hvfinchum@asianstudies.org). Reports
will be treated as confidential to the extent
possible to allow the AAS to assess the incident.

Respectful Behavior Policy
Freedom of expression and vigorous debate
are crucial to scholarly exchange. The AAS is
dedicated to securing a safe, hospitable, andproductive environment for exchange that is freefrom discrimination and intimidation. We expect
everyone at our programs and events to demonstrateself-control and civility, even in the midst of strong
disagreement, and not to engage in ad hominem
attacks or bullying behavior. This expectation applies
to our speakers, employees, members, volunteers,
and attendees and to all meeting venues including
ancillary events as well as official and unofficial
social gatherings.
Anyone who witnesses potential harm to a participant
in an AAS program or event should be proactive in
helping to mitigate or avoid that harm. If you see asituation in which someone might be in imminent
physical danger, you should alert conference
security personnel or law enforcement.

Sexual Harassment and Assault
The AAS does not tolerate sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is an unwelcome sexual advance,
request for sexual favors, or unwelcome conduct of asexual nature which has made a person feel offended,humiliated, or intimidated.
Sexual harassment includes stalking. Stalking isdefined as engaging in a course of conduct directed
at a specific person that would cause a reasonably
situated person to feel substantial emotional distressor fear for their safety or the safety of others.
Sexual harassment does not refer to occasional
compliments of a socially acceptable nature oraffirmatively consensual personal and social
relationships. Keeping in mind that consent may
look different to someone in a less secure position,
the best practice is for all parties to agree freely andexplicitly when interactions shift away from thestrictly professional.
A victim of sexual harassment or assault is not
required to physically resist, and a person may beunable to provide consent (e.g., due to intoxication,
psychological coercion, physical incapacitation, orother physical and mental incapacities).

Reporting
The AAS takes breaches of professional or
ethical behavior very seriously. Any violations of
this policy should be reported to the Executive
Director (hvfinchum@asianstudies.org).
Violations of this policy will be forwarded tothe board of directors and may lead to sanctions
including removal from the AAS conference or eventand possible expulsion from the Association.
Members and conference participants who witness
or experience sexual assault or other violations oflocal, state, and federal law are strongly encouraged
to immediately report incidents directly to law
enforcement officials.

Due to its imperialist origins, the field of Asian Studies bothinherits and perpetuates racist hierarchies premised on white
supremacy and Black abnegation. Scholars of Asia must
therefore confront the uncomfortable fact that studying Asia isneither anti-racist nor apolitical. After all, “Asia” and “Asian”
are not neutral categories. Historically and today, these terms
have paired phenotype (“yellow” skin) with supposedly
distinctive modes of governance (“Oriental despotism”) or
ostensibly immutable ethical orientations (“Confucian values”).

Anti-Black racism and ethnic, caste, and religious
discrimination have also featured in Asian societies pastand present, while essentialist notions of indigeneity andoccupational purity have dictated who has a voice in both
politics and academe. Although exclusionary thinking andhierarchies of difference are rife, a more inclusive and equitable
Asian Studies is possible. This panel brings together scholars
working on various regions and time periods to discuss how thestraightforward profundity of saying that Black Lives Mattercan fundamentally reorient Asian Studies teaching and research.
Asian Studies may be intrinsically political, but our work can
strive for justice rather than oppression.

online.ucpress.edu/journals‘A vivid picture of a people caught
between faith and dissent.’— Ismail K. Poonawala, Professor Emeritus of Arabic and Islamic Studies,
University of California, Los Angeles.
Set in historical Udaipur, India, and later in North America, thisnovel follows the fates of two young lovers caught in a split
within their small Muslim sect that is ruled by an absolute,authoritarian priesthood. When a section of the community
rebels, it is summarily excommunicated, shunned by friends
and family. The two lovers find themselves on opposite sides.
Available from bookshop.org / amazon.com / mawenzihouse.com / Ingram‘

The novel is at once a poignant love story as well as atrenchant exploration of the interplay between orthodoxy
and Islamophobia at home and abroad.

’— Sumaiya A Hamdani, Associate Professor of History, George Mason University.
