Greetings! 

The Society for Queer Asian Studies (SQAS) plans to sponsor a panel focused on trans and/or queer Asian themes at the 2023 AAS-in-Asia Conference — Asia in Motion: Memory, Preservation and Documentation — June 24-27 at Kyungpook National University in Daegu, South Korea — hosted by the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) and the Institute of Humanities Studies.

To apply for sponsorship, please submit a proposal (a single document with a panel abstract plus individual paper abstracts following conference requirements) for your complete panel to (queerasianstudies@gmail.com).

Submissions will be assessed based on originality of topic and method.
