Virtual 2021 Meeting
October 22-23, 2020
The 50th Annual Meeting of the Southwest Conference on Asian Studies was conducted virtually via Whova due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With numerous panels, bringing together colleagues from secondary institutions, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and researchers from across the world, the conference was an incredible success.
