Two Hundred and Twenty-Third Meeting |
The 223rd Meeting of the AOS will be held Friday, March 15–Monday, March 18, 2013, in Portland,
Oregon.
(Dues and Meeting Forms are
available for download below)
Hotel and Reservations:
A block of conference-rate accommodations has been reserved at the Portland
Hilton & Executive Tower, 921 SW Sixth Avenue, Portland, Oregon, 97204, USA. Conference rates per
night for rooms are $149 single or double.
The Hilton Portland and Executive Tower consists of two buildings, the landmark Hilton Portland and the
elegant Executive Tower. Situated 30 minutes from Portland International Airport, this city center Portland
hotel is easily accessible to Portland’s attractions and convention center via the MAX Light Railway System,
which stops one block from the hotel. Entertain the family at Oregon Zoo or unwind in the Chinese Classical
Gardens, only a short journey from this Portland hotel. Business is easy at Hilton Portland and Executive
Tower hotel.
You must make reservations directly with the hotel well in advance of the meeting, no later than February
11, 2013. Conference rates also apply 3 days in advance and after the meeting. After the cutoff date, any
uncommitted rooms in the block we have reserved will be released for general sale, and additional reservation
requests will be accepted if rooms are available and without the conference discount.
Reservations: Direct phone: 503-226-1611 ; Fax: 503-220-2565 ; Toll-free general Hilton reservation
line: 1-800-HILTONS. You should request the AOS conference rate when making your reservation. Hotel

The Society’s contract with the Hilton Portland for securing conference rates requires that a minimum number of rooms per night be reserved and occupied by members for the duration of the meeting. Thus, your stay at the Hilton Portland assures that the AOS will not be assessed extremely high fees for meeting and banquet space rental. We truly need your cooperation in this matter.

exact contribution to the problem, (c) its relationship to
previous scholarship on the topic, (d) specific conclusions.
Abstracts should be typed or word-processor produced and
submitted in duplicate. Please do not
submit draft-quality printed abstracts, since these
cannot be scanned efficiently for the production of the

the published Abstracts in the way
in which they have been
submitted. It is impossible for this Office to edit them.

|
Please note that the Program Committee will not accept papers for inclusion on the Program submitted by members whose 2013 dues have not been paid or who neglect to submit abstracts and registration forms in full with
pre-registration
fee by the October 15, 2012 deadline. We emphasize that you must pay your 2013 dues and submit your abstract and dues payment/pre-registration form with fee by the October 15, 2012 deadline. Otherwise, your paper will not be considered acceptable for inclusion on the Program.
|
Papers from non-members, except for those of visiting
scholars invited to
participate in special panels, cannot be considered because of the
expense the Society bears in running the Annual Meeting.
When inviting colleagues and students who are not AOS
members to participate in the program, please inform them
that they should apply for membership at the time they submit abstracts.
Please respond
to the Call for Papers only if you plan to attend the
Meeting. Failure to present a paper that has been accepted
on the Program creates a very poor impression of the Society
and is particularly discourteous to those members who may
have travelled great distances just to hear certain
communications.
All materials must to submitted by October 15,
2012, to
the Office of the Secretary, American Oriental Society,
Hatcher Graduate Library, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,
