Straddling the confluence of the Yangzi and Han, this vast tri-city complex had long thrived due to its prime location within the trading network. Yet while rivers brought great wealth, they also generated huge risks, inundating the local population with summer floods. This photograph demonstrates some of the techniques that residents deployed to adapt to the changeable aquatic environment. Riverside merchants traded from houses that were balanced precariously on bamboo stilts. This architectural adaptation allowed them to withstand rising water levels during ordinary summer months. When rivers swelled with floodwater, stilt houses were known to float away. Others adapted by living and trading in the vast floating neighborhoods of junks and sampans that clogged the local harbors. During floods, these neighborhoods advanced into the city streets, with sampans serving as water taxis and floating markets. For those habituated to a life on water, flooding was not just a disaster. It was also an opportunity.

Annual Conference Program, Volume 71. 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. FROM THETABLE EXECUTIVE OF CONTENTS DIRECTOR Welcome to the AAS 2020 Annual Conference! The Association for Asian Studies turns 79 this year. Over the past seven decades, the Association has served as a critical nucleus for the study of Asia; expanding from a publication on Asia (The Far Eastern Quarterly) to an international learned society with over 6,000 members worldwide. Objectives of the Association include serving as a scholarly organization for all persons interested in Asian Studies, promoting the study of and publications about Asia, and encouraging cooperation and exchange of information. Since stepping into the role of Executive Director in the spring of last year, I have spent many hours considering how the AAS objectives can accord more clearly with the needs of its current membership and beyond. The annual conference remains a crucial opportunity for strengthening core values while serving an increasingly complex community of Asianists. The act of coming together holds diverse functions for all of us here; self-promotion for the job market, seeking feedback on one’s research, meeting like-minded people, hearing the latest research in the field. Principally, the knowledge we bring to bear, and the knowledge we wish to gain, stimulates the need to gather. The AAS seeks to connect fellow human beings who share a professional and personal investment in the study of Asia. This year, we have put much effort into facilitating this gathering by focusing on accessibility, community building, and professional support. One of the principle ways by which we have focused on accessibility is by guaranteeing childcare at the conference. As a parent, I know what it is like to attend a conference with a child and understand that, for many of us, there is no choice but to bring our children with us. We hope to facilitate worry-free, full conference participation for parents by providing on-site professional childcare. Through this, as well, we send the message that Asian studies is an inclusive and supportive community. Community building is a primary function of learned societies. To that end, the AAS strives to seek better ways to encourage involvement. For the first time this year, we have opened the floor to late-breaking panels. Because proposals for the conference are submitted in advance, the most current events have been relegated to eleventh hour and peripheral meetings. Late-breaking panels ensure community contributions to discussions of recent events affecting our work. In addition, we have instituted a Meet Your Council breakfast time on Friday at 8:00am. Our area councils (CIAC, NEAC, SAC, SEAC) are key to our governance, and meeting your area council representatives will provide information on the workings of AAS as well as on ways to become more involved. Finally, and thanks to our Local Arrangements Committee, there are many opportunities to both enjoy the conference experience and network with colleagues. Musical performances (including performances by a Chindon-ya group and the Aeolian Trio), Chinatown food tours, museum tours and many, many receptions will help round out the conference experience. The world is changing and Asian Studies is changing. The guarantees and career trajectories of the past are not necessarily sustainable into the future, and the Association has a responsibility to support career development for professionals in the field. For this reason, we have instituted mentorship sessions. The sessions will take place in the exhibits area and will feature sessions on navigating the academy as well as building career portfolios beyond. The new AAS internship program (AASIP), as well, has allowed us to incorporate graduate students into daily work at our headquarters and at the conference. This gives students an opportunity to learn about and contribute to the Association. The AAS 2020 Annual Conference brings together the diverse gifts and perspectives of participants. Our various motivations for coming together inspire participation as our unique backgrounds and contributions form the core of our strength as a community. Thank you for being here~ Welcome to Boston! Sincerely, Hilary V.
