About New York Conference on Asian Studies
The New York Conference on Asian Studies is the oldest of the nine regional conferences of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS), the largest society of its kind in the world. NYCAS is represented on the Council of Conferences, one of the subdivisions of the governing body of the AAS, and speaks for all persons interested in any branch of Asian Studies in the State of New York.
Membership in NYCAS is open to all persons interested in Asian Studies. It draws its membership primarily from New York State and welcomes participants from any region interested in its activities. All persons registering for the annual meeting pay a membership fee to NYCAS, and are considered members eligible to participate in the annual business meeting and to vote in all NYCAS elections for that year. The membership will be asked to elect members to fill vacancies on the Executive Board, and to decide on the location of future Conferences. The membership is invited to submit nominations for vacancies on the Executive Board. Please address correspondence to Ronald G. Knapp, Executive Secretary, at knappr@newpaltz.edu
