The JEASC secretariat have published the draft programme for the 2024 conference to be held at UCLan in Preston.
They invited panel and individual paper proposals from across the full range of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences that address topics related to Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, other parts of the East Asia region, or the region as a whole.
They advertised that preference would be given to panels with a focus on cross-regional and intra-regional issues, and especially those that include PhD students. Panels were expected to reflect the diversity of the academic profession including, but not limited to, gender, ethnicity and career status. This would be taken into consideration during the selection process.
The draft programme can be downloaded in pdf format here. 14 pages. It’s a packed programme.
The BAKS AGM will be held at 2pm on the last day of the conference.
