Linda Grove Graduate Student Paper Competition details and guidelines

Prize:

  • 30,000 yen
  • Consideration for inclusion in one of the two panels at the Association for Asian
    Studies Annual Conference
  • One-year membership to the AAS
  • To help with travel costs, the AAS now offers the Hong Haeng Regional Conference Student Travel Award, established by Hyaeweol Choi. This new travel fund, combined with support from the Diversity and Equity Committee and the Council of Conferences’ own yearly allocation, will allow us to support student travel to AAS of $500.00 for the annual graduate student paper prize winner presenting in the COC-designated panels. This is a block distribution, rather than a reimbursement system. https://www.asianstudies.org/aas-establishes-hong-haeng-regional-conference-student-travel-award-program/
