The Graduate Student Conference on East Asia provides a
forum for graduate students from various institutions and diverse disciplines
to share ideas and to discuss work in progress with their peers. The conference
offers a glimpse of the future of research in East Asian Studies.
As an interdisciplinary conference, we welcome applications from
graduate students engaged in research on topics such as, but not exclusive to, East
Asian history, economics, business, political science, literature, art history,
and religion.
Participants will
have two ways to take part in the conference:
Presenters deliver 15 minute (maximum)
talks which summarize research in progress. Presenters are strongly encouraged
to form their own 3-person panels. Panels should be linked thematically, but
panelists should feel free to cross disciplinary, spatial, and temporal boundaries.
Discussants introduce the panelists and
foster the exchange of ideas in the 20-minute discussion session following the
presentations.
