The AAS is primarily composed of scholars but is also open to those in other fields who study and think about Asia; it has about 7,000 members, with a few thousand in attendance at this conference.

Senior Honors Theses

Abstract This thesis examines different classes of dyes, the processes they require, their use on different textiles, and their potential effects on the environment.
