Panel Support Award for AAS 2026

Call for Proposals

The Association for Asian Studies has announced the accepted panels for its
2027 Annual Conference, to be held in person from March 18–21 in Boston.
The Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies will again offer
sponsorship for two AAS panels in our research timeframe (10th–14th
centuries). We will prioritize funding for panels that focus on the
Society’s timeframe but will also consider sponsoring panels that include
individual papers that fall outside it.

The selected panels will receive official recognition by the Society on the
conference program and on our Society website, as well as a small grant of
$200/person to offset the costs of participation for up to six (6)
participants (typically four panelists, a discussant, and a panel chair).

Additionally, organizers of award-winning panels are encouraged to request a
supplementary grant of up to $500/panel to support travel costs. These
supplemental funds will be awarded according to demonstrated need, with a
preference for emerging scholars.

If you would like to apply for SSYCDS sponsorship for your panel, please
submit the panel organizer’s CV, panel proposal, individual paper
abstracts, and the names and contact information of all panel participants.
In the last document, please also indicate whether any members of your
panel have previously received SSYCDS AAS support, specifying the years and
number of times. Please send all materials to the SSYCDS Secretary,
Professor Yiwen Li (yiwenli@cityu.edu.hk) by December 15, 2026.

Please note that panelists must be members of the Society to receive
support.
Although participants are not required to be members at the time of
application, all sponsored panel participants are required to pay
membership dues for 2027 prior to January 31, 2027. For more information
about membership and SSYCDS, please see our website:
