Subject: Call for Papers: Bristol Postgraduate Network for East Asian Studies Conference 2009
Bristol Postgraduate Network for East Asian Studies Conference 2009 (BRIDGE)
'Public Policy in East Asia'
14th-15th July
University of Bristol
** Call for papers **
We invite postgraduates at any stage of their PhD and scholars at the early
stage of their career to join us for our inaugural conference. This is a
cross-disciplinary conference which welcomes participation from all fields
of study: if your research is connected to any area of East Asia, this
conference is for you.
The main theme is 'Public Policy in East Asia'. This theme aims to provide
a framework through which to challenge our perspectives and build on our
understanding of East Asia, by critically examining and questioning public
policy, the successes, failures and gaps therein.
We welcome proposals for papers on our main theme, whilst we will consider
the inclusion of other interesting presentations which contribute to East
Asian studies. For your reference, papers which we have considered so far
include such diverse topics as: Development of higher education in China;
Japan's aging policy; Shanghai's foreign settlements; The digital divide in
China; Chinese NGOs and welfare provision.
Papers will be selected for presentation and discussion, and we will
provide subsidies for all those presenting (one subsidised place per
presentation) in order to facilitate PhD students to take this opportunity
to present their work to scholars and peers.
We invite you to submit an abstract of (200-300) words by 8th June 2009
using the form provided on our website below:
http://www.bristol.ac.uk/ceas/bridge/conf.shtml
All successful speakers selected will be notified by 12th June 2009.
We also invite panel proposals which should include a title and description
of the panel's objective (200-300 words) together with abstracts for three
(or four) papers and the details of convener and panel members.
