WelcomeThe committee of the 28th annual graduate student conference on East Asia is delighted to welcome you to Columbia!

We are privileged to play host to 57 presenters, hailing from 17 institutions in 5 different countries.

Over the next two days, we will have the opportunity to hear from graduate students who look at the East Asian region - and beyond it - through a wide range of captivating lenses, into the fields of literature, film studies, history, linguistics, and the social sciences. Presenters in turn will be able to receive the insights and constructive comments of renowned members of the academic community, including professors and research scholars from across North America.

This year, we have maintained our tradition of not picking a specific theme for the entire conference, but instead have allowed topics and issues to arise from the submitted papers themselves. Using their natural intersections, we hope to have created panels that will bring about fruitful discussion both within and across panels.

If you have any queries, questions, or concerns, please do not hesitate to be in touch with us - we can always be found at the reception desk in the lobby of Kent Hall.
