The programme has been announced for the 2019 Joint East Asian Studies Conference in Edinburgh. It’s a busy three days and you’ll have to plan your time ruthlessly: over 60 panel sessions, but you’ll only be able to go to nine of them (or even fewer if you feel obliged to go to the BAKS, BAJS or BACS annual general meeting)
Registration closes on 1 August 2019.
