I write to you today as the Vice-President of the Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs (MCAA), which is our regional branch of the Association for Asian Studies. As you may know, in addition to a stimulating and convivial annual conference, MCAA offers a number of prizes for exceptional student work.

Event Description:
The Global Taiwan Institute (GTI) is pleased to invite you to a seminar discussion on “Taiwan’s Economic Security: The Role of Transnational Private Partnerships.”
Hi all, I am a PhD student at Ohio University working on my dissertation focused on the Pacific War strategic bombing campaign against Japan. I am in search of 2-3 WWII bomber pilots to interview. I know there is an abundance of oral testimonies online that have been digitized. While I do plan to utalize those, I am seeking 2-3 to meet and interview in person. I have tried about every avenue and contacted numerous museums and archives and each time it leds to a dead end. Hopefully someone on here can assist.
Please see the following exciting event, with an absolutely stellar line-up, which is happening next Friday (9 June)!
