Please see the attached Word document for an upcoming
Religious Festivals in SEA conference program at
UCRiverside. There is definitely still plenty of room for
growth in our VN context. The organizers do plan to pursue
publication following the conference for those interested.
I've also cut and pasted a less nicely formatted copy below
for your convenience.
Thanks, Mariam
