There are a few co-sponsored sessions that will undoubtedly be of interest to scholars of Asia: a co-organized session with the Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art, "Rethinking Global Medieval Art and Material Culture"; and another co-organized session with the American Council for Southern Asian Art, "The Mobile "Medieval" and Its Ramifications in Southern Asia." The conference closing reception will be held at the National Museum of Asian Art. Michelle C. Wang (Georgetown University) is on the MAA 2023 Program Committee and is happy to answer any questions that interested SSYCDS members may have regarding the conference; please email at mcw57@georgetown.edu<mailto:mcw57@georgetown.edu>. ______________________________________________ Ari Daniel Levine Horace Montgomery Professor of History University of Georgia President, Society for Song, Yuan, and Conquest Dynasties Studies
