11-14 April, 1996
Honolulu, Hawaii
48th Annual Meeting of the AAS
The 1996 Programme Committee invites all AAS members to take part in assembling the
1996 offering of panels. round tables, individual papers, and other presentations. We are
especially interested in departing from some of the well-worn topics or issues, and striking
out in genuinely new (not merely trendy) directions. For that reason, we will try to aid
organizers and/or presenters to develop especially attractive ideas, and to help locate other
scholars with similar interests to complete particularly interesting panels or round tables.
Please get in touch early with the appropriate committee member if you think
you have a good idea, but are not sure how to develop it fully.
The 1996 committee is also eager to assist in whatever way it can carry out the Board of
Directors' recent directive to pay special attention to balance of gender, ethnic group, and
institutional affiliation in composing panels and round tables. There is no intention to
sacrifice quality, but rather to assure that the best scholarship of all AAS
members is given the opportunity to be presented in our important forum.
We ask you to keep in mind the August 3, 1995 deadline for submission of
proposals, and that you read carefully the detailed materials prepared by the AAS Secretariat
for your use. We have many hundreds of proposals each year, and in order to be fair to all
we must require strict adherence to deadlines and procedures. Keep in mind also that session
choices as well as schedule times are determined when the committee meets in early
September. It is assumed that when proposals are submitted, individuals are aware that they
may have to accommodate schedule decisions. A note of truly urgent needs regarding
scheduling should accompany a proposal. The committee will try to accommodate, but due
to the large number of proposals, cannot assure accommodation.
