*Dear Friends of NATSA (North American Taiwan Studies Association),*
Greetings, we hope this email finds you well!
On behalf of the Preparatory Committee, we are thrilled to invite you to
join us at the *19th NATSA Annual Conference (NATSA 2013)*, which will
be held at the *University of California, Santa Barbara* on *June 21-22,
2013*. The theme of this year's conference is “/Taiwan in Theory/”. If
Taiwan has traditionally been a place for gathering the “raw data” of
theories developed elsewhere, we invite innovative graduate students and
young scholars from various disciplines to present research which
foregrounds the ways that Taiwanese people's social, cultural, economic,
and political lives assert their own concerns and themselves contribute
to the development of new concepts and frameworks for looking at the
world. The full Call for Papers, and more details on the conference can
be accessed at our website
<http://www.na-tsa.org/new/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&urlid=8&mailid=31&subid=96>.
This year, we are excited to provide multiple options for participation:
1. CALL FOR INDIVIDUAL PAPERS/PANELS
<http://www.na-tsa.org/new/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&urlid=57&mailid=31&subid=96>.
Prospective participants are welcome to submit proposals either
for *individual papers* or three-person *panels*. This year, we
are very excited to hold a series of Special Panels bringing in
both senior scholars who study Taiwan, and scholars who study
relevant issues in places other than Taiwan, to engage with the
new work of graduate students and young scholars. Please note that
submitted individual papers may have the opportunity to be placed
on one of these panels, organized primarily by discipline. To
facilitate your pairing, we ask that in addition to your
*keywords*, you also state a *disciplinary preference*.
2. CALL FOR DISSERTATIONS.
<http://www.na-tsa.org/new/index.php?option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&urlid=57&mailid=31&subid=96>
If you have recently completed a dissertation, or are in the
process of completing one, please consider applying to participate
in the* Scholar Panel*. This panel, moderated by senior scholars,
will provide a longer presentation time. It is a great opportunity
to prepare you for the *JOB TALK* when you enter the job market. __
The submission deadline for both options is *January 4th, 2013*.
In the past, NATSA has been mainly designed for graduate students, both
Taiwanese and international. As our community grows, we find it
beneficial to be engaged in a larger academic community to further
enhance the breadth and depth of our discussion. This year, NATSA is
honored to organize our 19th annual meeting with co-assistance of
the *Center for Taiwan Studies at UCSB* and of *the Institute of Taiwan
History at Academia Sinica*. Also, in accordance to NATSA’s promise
to inspire scholarly work which pushes Taiwan and Taiwan Studies towards
more critical, valuable engagement both scholarly and practically, the
new mission of this year, as seen in the conference design, is to offer
more performance platforms for /young scholars/ as well as to invite
more /senior scholars/ to be involved in our panel discussion. We
sincerely believe, the 19th NATSA Annual Conference (NATSA 2013) will
become a milestone that demonstrates our serious commitment to
contribute to the scholarship of Taiwan Studies.
NATSA is an academic organization run mainly by overseas Taiwanese
students. Our mission is to organize the annual conference to address
current issues facing Taiwanese society. Entering its 19th year, the
NATSA annual conferences have been recognized as the largest academic
events on Taiwan Studies in North America. They not only provide
scholars and students of Taiwan Studies with a regular forum to meet and
exchange intellectual ideas, but also allow researchers on East-Asia and
beyond to receive dynamic feedback and broaden their academic horizons.
If you are interested in joining this exciting event, please do not
hesitate to contact our Secretary <mailto:[log in to unmask]> for
more information. We look forward to seeing you in Santa Barbara next
year—come, get suntanned, and hang out with a bunch of brilliant
scholars, just like you!
Sincerely,
NATSA 2013 Committee
*Stay in touch with us!*
