Message from MCAA President
On behalf of the Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs, I am delighted to
welcome you to our 60th meeting. This year the conference is being held
in conjunction with the First Himalayan Studies Conference organized by
the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies. The Program Chair for
both conferences is Professor Arjun Guneratne of Macalester College. As
you can see from the program, Arjun has done a remarkable job in
producing an integrated conference that deals with a broad range of topics
ranging from climate change in the Himalaya to classical Chinese
literature. I would like to extend our profound appreciation to him for all
his efforts in ensuring that this conference will be intellectually enriching.
This year I have invited Dr. Karma Lekshe Tsomo as the MCAA
presidential speaker. With scholarly interests in Tibetan and Chinese
Buddhism, she is the author and editor of numerous books. She will speak
on “Changes and Challenges: Women in Asian Buddhist Cultures" at 3:45
pm on Saturday. Her talk will be followed by the MCAA Business
Meeting, which everyone is welcome to attend; wine and cheese will be
served.
In keeping with MCAA tradition, our keynote speaker will be Professor
Kalyanakrishnan Sivaramakrishnan, Professor of Anthropology at Yale
University and immediate Past President of the Association for Asian
Studies. His talk, on “Forests and the Environmental History of India”,
will take place on Saturday evening at 8:00 p.m. His talk will be preceded
by the awarding of student prizes: the Sidney DeVere Brown and Mikiso
Hane prizes for outstanding undergraduate papers and the Percy Buchanan
prizes for outstanding papers written by graduate students.
Enjoy the conference!

Message from the President of the ANHS
Welcome to the First ANHS Himalayan Studies Conference. This conference marks ANHS’s new
relationship as a Center in Developing Status with the Council of American Overseas Research Centers
(CAORC). Support though CAORC, without which this conference would not be possible, is provided
by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. We also owe a debt of
gratitude to Arjun Guneratne for convening the conference, and Macalester College as the host
institution.
When members of the ANHS Executive Council conceived this conference a year ago we decided to
center on the theme “Rethinking the Himalaya: The Indo-Tibetan Interface and Beyond.” In doing so,
we hope to provide continuity with a seminal 1973 conference and resulting volume, edited by Jim
Fisher who we’re proud to have with us at this conference, titled Himalayan Anthropology: The IndoTibetan Interface. That groundbreaking conference and volume set the tone for decades of research
highlighting the Himalayas as an important historical and contemporary crossroads of polities, economic
transactions, and cultures. Our aims for this year’s conference are to assess where we’ve been, learn
about new directions in present and future research, and broaden the international base for Himalayan
Studies by forging new connections. Importantly, holding the ANHS conference in conjunction with the
Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs allows us to underscore ways that our research can contribute to
scholarship on two areas that the Himalayan region straddles: South Asia and East Asia.
Highlights of this conference include our invited speakers:
Drona Rasali. Plenary Address “Envisioning an equitable space for marginalized people in Nepal: A
journey of small strides contributing to ‘change’ for social justice.”
Pratyoush Onta. Plenary Address “The past and future of Nepal Studies in Nepal.”
David Gellner. Keynote Address “Upland Region or 'a World of Peripheries'? Some thoughts on
Himalayan identities”
We are pleased that you can join us in taking this opportunity to see old friends, meet new colleagues,
and devote a few days to scholarly exchange on the Himalayan region. We look forward to learning
about your research, and encourage you to submit your papers to the ANHS-sponsored journal
Himalaya. In the meantime, enjoy the conference.
Sincerely yours,
Geoff Childs

Himalaya seeks to promote understanding and appreciation of the region through the publication and support of
original research and other important work, and to review scholarship, research, and other information of interest
to members of The Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies and other Himalayanists.
Himalaya is a peer-reviewed publication and publishes original articles, short reports on research, book reviews,
reports of meetings, dissertation abstracts, professional announcements, photographs, and other interesting
information from any and all fields relevant to the Himalayan areas of Asia.
The journal is included in the collections of fifty major libraries in the United States, Asia, and Europe. It has
developed from a mimeographed newsletter into its present form - as the major international journal for the region
- through the efforts of its volunteer editors, the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies (ANHS) Council,
and members who provide much of the material for each issue.
