It is printed in March and mailed to all AAS members and conference attendees. 70 Years of Asian Studies The Association for Asian Studies (AAS), formed in 1941 as the Far Eastern Association, has evolved from a few hundred scholars focused largely on China and Japan to well over 7,000 members worldwide representing all the regions and countries of Asia. Similarly, from its first conference, held in Leiden in 1998 and more On the Cover recently in Asian venues, the International Convention of Asia Scholars (ICAS) has grown to become the largest biennial Asian studies conference outside of the U.S. While the structure, activities, and culture of each organization vary somewhat, they share the common goals of promoting the study of Asia and transcending the boundaries between disciplines, nations, and geographic origins of scholars of Asia. This special conference of the AAS and ICAS will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the AAS by combining elements of each organization’s respective annual and biennial meetings and is expected to be the largest ever gathering of Asian studies scholars and students. It certainly will be the largest formal program, with over 760 panels, roundtables, and workshops addressing a wide range of topics and issues, as well as exhibits, a video program, music and theater performances, business meetings, receptions, and other social functions. In the spirit of marking this significant milestone in organizational history, collaboration, and growth, we encourage all conference attendees to attend the retrospective roundtable “70 Years of Asian Studies” scheduled for Saturday, April 2. In this roundtable, a distinguished cast of scholars active within the association will look back at how the AAS has addressed various issues affecting the field of Asian studies over the years, and, just as important, how it might anticipate and prepare for future challenges as Asia becomes ever more prominent in world affairs and the public consciousness. We are sure the conference will be memorable in many respects, and we encourage everyone to take advantage of the many outstanding events and sessions this unique collaboration between AAS and ICAS presents. Kanchenjunga from Darjeeling by Edward Lear Depicting the Kanchenjunga and nearby forest, this painting is currently on display in the Yale Center of British Art. It is very dramatic, with a lot of forest cover and the Kanchenjunga in the background and a sprinkling of Lepchas and Lama figures in the foreground. It was painted in 1879 after Lear visited Darjeeling and after the tea garden industry was thriving. This is a stunning depiction of the majesty Photo permission gratiously provided by the and beauty of the Indian Himalaya by a Yale Center for British Art. British landscape artist in the late nineteenth century. It was selected as much for its striking aesthetic appeal, as it is useful to remind scholars of Asia of the many ways in which landscapes and livelihoods, important as an environmental and historical legacy for Asian societies, are increasingly vulnerable to the pressures of rapid industrial development, conflicts over natural resources, and the complicated border crossings in which they became inevitably enmeshed in the twentieth century.
