will introduce current scholarship by the participants, interrogate basic assumptions and problematic issues of the emerging field of “Asian Media Studies”, and discuss possible future directions for the study of media in the context of Asia. Keynote speakers
are Laikwan Pang (Chinese University of Hong Kong) and Kazunori Mizushima (Osaka Sangyo University). The schedule and a full list of the participants is inserted below.</span></span><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="p5"><span class="s1"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">In choosing to call this event an “All-Day Roundtable,” we wish to emphasize discussion and interlocution over conventional presentations of conference papers. To this end, each member of each three-person
panel will introduce and comment on another panelist's abstract, ending with one or two questions to the author of the abstract, who can then respond before we move to the next panelist. This format will build dialogue into the preparation and presentation
as well as allow maximum time for discussion, which will also include the larger round of attendees. </span></span><span style="font-size:10.5pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
