I didn’t get to any China-specific panels at the AAS, but the good folks at China Beat have a few panel summaries worth taking a look at. You can find some more at Twitter, but not much. Aside from the primitive facilities — it was $600 to get internet service for a panel presentation, we were told; it was $13/day for hotel room internet, and there wasn’t any wireless in the hotel or convention center — we just don’t have a critical mass of tweeting Asianists yet. Just a couple that I’ve found. I did have a good time meeting Javier Cha, though, the first time I’ve met with someone I met on Twitter!
AAS Blogging: outsourced
I’ve been reading the news to come out of the AAS with great interest, and it sounds like some interesting discussions were had. However, I had to laugh at the Guanxi Master blog’s take of Samuel Liang’s China Beat report. Not sure who Frank Reichart is, but he had some very insightful responses!
