[Tlc] TLC-AAS SEA panels

[justinm at ucr.edu]

Dear All,

Please see below a list of the Southeast Asian Studies panels
at the 2008 AAS in Atlanta. I will be sending a more refined
list when the final program is released. It is a good year for
SEA Studies (even Lao Studies and Burmese Studies are
represented!). Our friends in Vietnam Studies are very
well-represented. Pre-register for low low prices by December 6th!

Thanks,
justin
