Association for Asian Studies CONFERENCE PROGRAM DENVER, COLORADO MARCH 21-24 2019 FLOORPLANS p. 2-4 JEFFERSON MEMORIAL PHOTO CREDIT: COURTESY OF WASHINGTON.ORG WIFI DETAILS Wireless Network: Sheraton Meetings Association for Asian Studies Passcode: aas2019 Annual Conference March 21-24, 2019 Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel Denver, Colorado COVER IMAGE COURTESY OF AAS PRESIDENT, ANNE FELDHAUS The program cover depicts Shivalay, a step-well at Ellora, Maharashtra State, India. It is the “tank” for Ghrishneshvar, one of a set of twelve major Shiva temples scattered around India. Renovated under the patronage of Queen Ahilyabai in 1770 CE, Shivalay has a symmetry and relative simplicity typical of the many religious monuments attributed to this most famous member of the Holkars, a royal family with pastoralist roots. Tourists and Buddhist pilgrims travel from all over the world to the caves near here. Men from nearby villages take water from Shivalay to pour on their village gods on religiously significant days, especially during the monsoon, the season when this photo was taken. The tree that has sprouted in the dome suggests that nature is stronger than our human creations, while the crumpled sign on the dome evokes worries that plastic might ultimately overtake even nature. Annual Conference Program, Volume 70. The Annual Conference Program is published annually by the Association for Asian Studies, Inc. It is printed in February and distributed to all conference attendees.
