REMINDER—Proposals for the 2014 Conference on Middle Period China DUE JULY 15. To propose a paper requires only a one-page abstract/proposal and a one-page CV. You do not need to propose a full panel for this conference, just a paper (which the organizers will put into a panel and assign discussants). If you have been mulling over what to propose, consider discussing the development of a field over the last several decades (for instance, studies of Song government in the decades since Kracke’s *Civil Service* and Liu’s *Wang An-shih*). The 2009 Tang Studies conference referred explicitly to the “next twenty-five years,” which inspired some thoughtful reflection. If several people propose papers of this sort, we will put them together in a panel. Here is the original announcement: *Announcing an* *International Interdisciplinary Conference** on Middle Period China, 800-1400* *Planned for early June 2014 at Harvard* *Call for Paper Proposals* This three/four-day conference is open to scholars in all fields--history, literature, art, archaeology, philosophy, religion--and from all countries. The optional fourth day will offer participants opportunities to learn computation methods and databases. All papers presented will be permanently archived online and entered into bibliographies. Some papers will be selected for further refinement and inclusion in a thematic (e-) book. Scholars and graduate students writing dissertations who would like to present research papers at this conference should submit a proposal consisting of a one-page abstract and a one-page CV. To prepare our requests for funding we need lots of exciting proposals. Give us the evidence that innovative research is being done on this period and help us show that scholars in different disciplines have much to gain from talking to each other. The more good proposals that we get, the more participants we will be able to fund. Deadline for paper proposals: *July 15, 2012* Please send proposals as email attachments to both: Patricia Ebrey ebrey@uw.eduand Peter Bol pkbol@fas.harvard.edu
