CUEAGA was created as a forum for the graduate students in our department
(EALC) to meet and discuss both academic and non-academic topics outside 
of
class. The CUEAGA conference originated as a result of these meetings. It
seeks to provide a place for graduate students focusing on some aspect of
China or Japan to meet and present original research to other graduate
students, and gain experience presenting papers in a peer environment.
CUEAGA and the CUEAGA conference are entirely graduate student organized.
Funding is provided by various campus sources, as well as CUEAGA 
fundraising
activities.

We have had three successful conferences with participants from various
departments at CU and other universities from the US and abroad: 1998
"Taboos: Past and Present," 1999: "On the Edge: Subversion and Reaction,"
and in 2000 "Outcasts." Paper topics range in content from ancient
literature through modern culture. Our themes are purposefully broad so as
to encourage wider participation and attendance.
