If, like Zhou Yuqin, you met some new friends and colleagues at #AASInAsia2025, now is the perfect time to check in and say hello! Keeping up contacts can help when you need to organize new panel proposals (like, perhaps, for #AAS2026 in Vancouver ...).

Sociologist Pranab Kharel is a researcher at Martin Chautari, an NGO that promotes the public sphere in Nepal. The interdisciplinary and border-crossing nature of #AASInAsia2025 sessions meant that Kharel got to check out panels on China and East Asia!

Our booth at AAS-in-Asia is proving to be quite popular. Lots of journals and totebags have been handed out on the first day, and best of all many interesting conversations with attendees about Pacific Affairs, and possibly submitting an article or writing a book review for us. #AASinAsia2025
