On the Cover Village meeting during the mass movement to adjust land distribution Ten Mile Inn, Hebei Province This picture was taken by David Crook in March 1948 in the village of Ten Mile Inn, which was located in the Jin-Ji-Lu-Yu base area 275 miles southwest of Beijing. During a long village stay in 1947-1948, David and Isabel Crook observed the campaign to adjust an earlier round of land distribution. This photograph was taken at a village meeting conducted by a work team in Ten Mile Inn's temple courtyard. Isabel Crook writes, “The work team made a special point of getting the women to be active in the movement and pressed them to attend. The ones that came were mainly the young wives with their babies. They were not asked to sit separately but this was what tradition called for. Cottage weaving was one of the main cottage industries that supplemented income from farming. Young and middle-aged housewives wound the yarn and set up the frames to load the looms.” Gail Hershatter University of California, Santa Cruz AAS President Photograph by David Crook, provided courtesy of Isabel Crook 2 — 2012 Annual Conference — Contents On the Cover 2 Welcome 4-5 AAS Officers and Other Leaders 6 AAS Regional Conferences 7 General Information 8 Schedule-at-a-Glance 9 Keynote Speakers 10 Special Events 11-13 Presidential Address and Awards Ceremony Late Breaking News Panels AAS Member Reception Graduate Student Reception AAS Film Expo 2012: Asia in Current Motion Sponsors 14 Maps of Conference Space 15 Exhibit Hall Floorplan 16 Exhibitor Booth Numbers 17 Special Events/Meetings-in-Conjunction 18-19 (Alphabetical Listing) List of Advertisers 20 Listing of Panels by World Area 21-27 Daily Schedule of Panels and Events 29-99 Advertisements 100-180 List of Panel Participants 181-190 — Association for Asian Studies— 3 Welcome I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone attending the 2012 conference of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS).
