John Hsieh 2017-2018 AACS President Dr. Hans Stockton 03 / Season’s greeting to all. 2016 is another fruitful year for the AACS. The annual conference held at the Pepperdine University on October 7-9 has a total 120 registers plus some local participants. This year’s conference brings together scholars in various disciplines from Asia, Europe, and North America to consider Chinese engagement with the world, alongside foundational Chinese identity. The AACS conference has already become an international conference. The board proposed some revisions of the AACS constitution to institutionalize the governance structure of the organization, the functions of the AACS officers and the appointment of the editor of the American Journal of Chinese. Article 2 of the AACS constitution was revised as “ t(T)he purpose of the Association is to encourage the study of subjects related to China and Taiwan, especially in the educational institutions of this country…” to reflect the wide range of research interests for our members. The constitutional amendments were voted articles by articles, and even paragraphs by paragraphs within the amended article by the AACS active members. All amendments were approved by the returning mailings from AACS members through ballot counts undertaken by AACS student Keiko Okai at the office of the Dean of Social Sciences with the observation of two administrative assistants of the Dean of Social Sciences in my college. Cambridge Scholars Publishing invited the AACS to publish some conference papers into a volume. This is a strong indication that the quality of the conference papers has been recognized. A tentative title of the volume was set as “Never Strait Forward : Changing forces in Taiwan, China and Beyond'” to include a wide ranges of subjects covered in the conference in the past two years. Board member Fang Long Shih at London School of Economics is the editor of this volume. I hope that the publication of conference papers in edited volume, in addition to the AACS flag-ship journal, will provide strong incentive for conference participants. Finally, the amended AACS Constitution in 2016 has been posted on the AACS website. https://aacs.ccny.cuny.edu/ constitution.htm Please don’t hesitate to connect the AACS Office at : [email protected] if I can provide any service to you as a humble servant. Hope to see all in the 59th annual conference at the University of South Carolina on October 20-22, 2017. Happy Holidays and best wishes to you for the year of Chicken.

Clare Liu University of the Arts, London 07 / I truly enjoyed my time at the AACS conference this year — it was, arguably, one of the best conferences I have been to yet as a junior scholar. Aside from being well organized and a very full, intellectually simulating schedule, what I most enjoyed was the intimate size of attendees. Having smaller numbers meant that I had the chance to get to know literally everyone that was in attendance. From the welcome dinner and registration through the Saturday evening banquet and guest speaker, I think that I had the chance to speak to all the scholars and faculty in attendance. This is truly unheard of (at least from my experience)! Everyone was very cordial, eager to hear about my own research, and enthusiastic to support my research in any way possible. When it came to the panel sessions, the intimate feel was advantageous insofar as we were able to spend more time discussing the papers and research outcomes. As a junior scholar, I felt particularly honored to be seated on a panel with two heavyweights in the field (Bob Sutter and Jacques deLisle); the same goes for the undergraduates that were also presenting at the conference. To me, it means that AACS really cares about the next generation of scholars in our field and wants to ensure that we have a place at the table too. Additionally, the feedback I received from Bob and Jacques was extremely helpful — both in terms of my ongoing PhD research, as well as for polishing my conference paper and preparing it for publication in the AACS journal. I am not yet certain if I will be able to attend AACS 2017 due to field research in Taiwan. But, that said, I remain supremely grateful for the opportunity and financial support to have made "It was, arguably, one it to the recent AACS at Pepperdine.
