Continuing a tradition of gathering scholars interested in Thai Studies,

conference to be held on the NIU campus in DeKalb, Illinois. As with the
previous conferences which have alternated venues in Thailand and abroad,
the Ninth ICTS will embrace a broad definition of Thai studies to include
studies of all ethnic groups within the Kingdom of Thailand, as well as
Thai/Tai peoples of Southeast Asia, India and China. Papers and
presentations from all scholarly disciplines and all intellectual
perspectives will be welcomed.

The Ninth ICTS has been intentionally scheduled April 3 - 6, 2005 in
DeKalb, Illinois to follow the March 31 - April 3, 2005 annual meeting of
the Association for Asian Studies in Chicago, Illinois (some 65 miles east
