Seattle Convention Center & Sheraton Grand Seattle“Laozi Riding the Ox” (Zhao Buzhi, 1053–1110 CE) depicts theclassic Daoist legend of Laozi’s departure from Hangu Pass,symbolizing his retreat from the declining Zhou dynasty.
Disillusioned with the decay of society, Laozi resigned his court
position and traveled westward into solitude. At Hangu Pass,a guard recognized Laozi and asked him to document his
wisdom. The resulting text was the Daodejing, now regarded asa cornerstone of Daoist philosophy. Afterwards, Laozi supposedly
disappeared into the wilderness. This artwork encapsulates histransition from civilization to nature, from worldly knowledge tospiritual enlightenment, and from the known to the unknown, as
represented by Laozi’s passage out of the densely inked foliage
into the light. Today, this work of art resides at the National
Palace Museum in Taiwan.

AAS 2024 CONFERENCE | FROM THE AAS PRESIDENT
Welcome to the 2024 AAS Annual Conference, the third such meeting
we have held in person since the challenges created by the COVID
pandemic. This gathering follows our first in-person convening of the
AAS-in-Asia this past summer in Daegu. For many, including myself,
this year allowed us to get back to the field to do research, reconnect
with our colleagues, and update our understanding of on-the-grounddevelopments. Even as geopolitical tensions have complicated our work,
it has been exhilarating to interact with colleagues once again in Asiaand be in the field doing research. Being present in the country you
are studying is unparalleled in unveiling complexities that even the best
press reports cannot capture. One realizes that things are both not as dire or promising as we hadthought. It is therefore even more exciting for us to gather at this year’s AAS meeting in Seattle toshare our experiences.
As President of the AAS this past year, I have also had the honor and pleasure of traveling to 5 of theRegional AAS conferences, including the one in Japan. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meetcolleagues across the country. What impressed me was how committed our members are to AsianStudies, working unselfishly to organize meetings in their region, often with few resources, putting
on an impressive set of panels. One of the most notable discoveries I made was the degree to which
members brought in students, including some undergraduates, to present papers—and get themhooked on studying Asia.
Relatedly, I have tried during my presidential year to create opportunities for all scholars, especially
my younger social science colleagues, to recognize that the AAS can be another home for them,where they can benefit from presenting their work and encountering diverse scholarly perspectives.
Scholars should not only possess mastery over their disciplinary knowledge but also area expertise.
That’s why I am thrilled about the election of Nancy Peluso, a leader in the field of political ecology
and Southeast Asia, as the incoming Vice President of the AAS. It signals a further inclusion of
disciplines in the AAS.
With the goal of attracting younger scholars of all disciplines to the AAS, I am particularly excited tohighlight that the East & Inner Asia Council is piloting a dissertation workshop for doctoral students
at this year’s Seattle meeting, focusing on Global China. We aim to secure funding for similarworkshops in many areas across the various Area Councils at each AAS conference going forward.
This is an ideal way to attract the next generation of Asia scholars to the AAS.
I am also happy to announce the newly formed Society for the Social Science Study of China has
decided to hold its meeting in conjunction with the annual AAS.
Whether you are in the humanities, social sciences, or even scientific and medical fields, I hope thatyou will find this year’s conference stimulating and worthwhile. We have tried to be as inclusive as
possible. Perhaps equally important, I hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to meet
new colleagues, exchange ideas, and seek out experts in related fields. Enjoy the many wonderful
panels and have fun exchanging stories about your return to the field.
I look forward to meeting you in the halls, ceremonies, and panels or at the AAS reception in thenext few days!

Association for Asian Studies 2024 Annual ConferenceAAS 2024 CONFERENCE | FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Welcome to the AAS 2024 Annual Conference!
This year marks the 83rd year for the Association for Asian Studies.
We are delighted to welcome you all to Seattle for our 2024 Annual
Conference.
We understand there is always so much going on at the Annual
Conference that one could easily become overwhelmed, particularly
if you are a first-time attendee. AAS staff members aim to easethe difficulties of navigating such a large conference by offering aFirst-Time Attendee Orientation on Thursday, March 14 at 4pm.
This has proven to be a very popular and helpful event for many, so we encourage you to attend theorientation to hear recommendations on how to use your time wisely during the event.
The 2024 program includes 464 sessions, including several late-breaking sessions and the AAS
President’s panel, which takes place on Saturday, March 16, 4-5:30pm. Please do not miss themany special events that are a part of the program. On Thursday March 14, the conference begins
with an opening ceremony at 5pm followed by the Harvard-Yenching Institute-funded keynote
speech delivered by Dr. Tanika Sarkar titled, “Between State and Faith: Colonial Personal Laws
and the Triumph of Indian Cultural Nationalism.” This event kicks off the 2024 Annual Conference
and is immediately followed by evening sessions and a Graduate Student reception. AAS President
Jean Oi will deliver her Presidential Address on Friday, March 15 at 6pm. Following the Address,
the AAS Member Cocktail Reception will take place at 7pm. This year, we are offering a special
performance of The Latehomecomer in partnership with Literature to Life, a non-profit thattransforms the written word into theatrical performance. The Latehomecomer is the story of a
Hmong family’s displacement, survival, struggles, strength, and legacy, and we are delighted to havethe opportunity to bring this performance to conference attendees and the Seattle community atlarge.
I want to draw special attention to our Awards Ceremony and Members’ Meeting on Saturday,
March 16 from 10:15am to 12:15pm. Please make time to be a part of this event, to celebrate
the achievements of colleagues, and to add your voice to discussions. The Members’ Meeting is an
important opportunity to learn about happenings at the AAS, as well as a chance to ask questions
about our initiatives and opportunities.
Seattle has much to offer for visitors and we hope you will be able to enjoy some of its highlights
while you are here. To help guide you, our fantastic Local Arrangements Committee, chaired byAnand Yang, has prepared recommendations for conference participants, from Seattle culinary
highlights to museum opportunities.
Over the past few years, we have prioritized participant well-being by offering space to reflect andunwind in the form of a quiet room and childcare resources for scholars with young children. We
have also developed the AAS booth into an oasis for relaxation and gathering in the exhibit space.
Please come by and say hi to AAS staff!
A heartfelt thank you to all who have supported the AAS in preparing for the virtual and in-personcomponents of our 2024 Annual Conference. Once again, welcome to Seattle—we are so glad you’re
here.

Thursday, March 14, 5:00pm-6:30pm
Sheraton, Grand Ballroom, 2nd Floor

Between State and Faith: Colonial Personal Laws
and the Triumph of Indian Cultural Nationalism

Tanika Sarkar

I will discuss the nature of the colonial Personal Laws, which, from the late
18th century, came to shape legislation and adjudication of court disputes
for different Indian religious communities. Under them, each community was
to be governed by its own scripture and sacred custom as interpreted by its
chosen religious specialists in the entire domain of marriage, inheritance,
caste and faith.
In the second part, I will discuss how modern Hindu orthodoxy and reformism
emerged and clashed around legal-judicial developments in this sphere in
the nineteenth century.
My intention is to insert the social and the religious into the domain ofmodern Indian political history.

Nehru University, Delhi. She has been a Visiting Professor at Yale
University, University of Chicago, University of Gottingen, University of

AAS 2024 CONFERENCE | SPECIAL PERFORMANCETHE LATEHOMECOMER BY KAO KALIA YANG
Saturday, March 16, 5:30pm-7:00pm
Grand Ballroom, 2nd Floor, Sheraton
ABOUT THE LATEHOMECOMER
Based on the memoir by Kao Kalia Yang
Adaptation by Aurea Tomeski & Elise Thoron
Direction: Elise Thoron
Performed by Gaosong Heu
Told with the immediacy of the author as a young girl, born in the Ban Vinai Refugee camp in Thailand,
Kao Kalia arrives in the United States when she is six. The story follows her journey from a quiet, reticent
student struggling to speak English while facing racial discrimination, to a self-empowered young woman
claiming her voice to tell the untold story of her people. In search of a place to call home, thousandsof Hmong families made the journey from the war-torn jungles of Laos to the overcrowded refugee
camps of Thailand, finally emigrating to America; but lacking a written language of their own. Driven
to tell her family’s story after her grandmother’s death - the Hmong experience has been primarily
recorded by others - The Latehomecomer is Kao Kalia Yang’s tribute to her remarkable grandmother
whose spirit held them all together. It is also an eloquent, firsthand account of a people who haveworked hard to make their voices heard.
ABOUT LITERATURE TO LIFE (LTL)
LITERATURE TO LIFE (LTL) is a performance-based literacy program that presents professionallystaged verbatim adaptations of American literary classics. LTL’s mission is to perform great books
that inspire young people to read and become authors of their own lives. LTL was founded more than
three decades ago as the educational program of the American Place Theatre. Now an independent
organization, this mighty collective of artists and educators brings the voices of diverse authors tothousands of students and audiences nationwide, giving them the tools to become the empowered“voices worth hearing” of our future.
