Dear EASP list members,
The below conference with subsidised places might be of your interest,
particularly to research students and scholars at the early stage of your
carrier.
*****************************************************************
We are pleased to announce the 2nd Bristol Postgraduate Network for East
Asian Studies Conference:
Challenges for East Asia: The Past, Present & Future
7th-8th July 2010
University of Bristol, Centre for East Asian Studies
CALL FOR PAPERS:
We warmly invite postgraduate research students at any stage of their PhD
and scholars, particularly at the early stage of their career, to join the
BRIDGE (Bristol Postgraduate Network for East Asian Studies) Conference on
the 7th and 8th of July 2010.
BRIDGE is now holding its 2nd conference at the University of Bristol with
the general topic of 'Challenges for East Asia: The Past, Present &
Future'. The conference will provide a valuable opportunity for
postgraduate students from Universities across the country (and beyond) to
get together and share their ideas and experiences of studying East Asia.
Our first conference was very successful and attracted over 40
presentations from PhD students/scholars from all over the UK and in total
70 PhD students and academics contributed to the day.
You will also be invited to draw upon the expertise of experienced scholars
in a plenary session focused on the current hot topic: 'The National and/or
Regional Identity in East Asia'. We also aim to offer practical sessions
such as 'writing for publication' and 'conducting fieldwork in East Asia'.
This conference is sponsored by the CEAS VC Initiative fund, University of
Bristol. We are therefore fortunate to be able to offer subsidised places
to all presenters. This will cover the registration fee for all those who
submit an abstract and who are then selected to present (up to our maximum
number of places). All participants are fully responsible for their own
transport and travel arrangements.
CONFERENCE THEME:
The theme of this conference is 'Challenges for East Asia: The Past,
Present & Future' The conference will explore both historical and
contemporary issues relating to East Asia from interdisciplinary and
comparative perspectives.
This perspective does not limit us to an event at one point of East Asian
history, but instead provides a framework through which to explore general
aspects of East Asia, be it culture; history; society; welfare; economy;
security; public services; politics; environmental issues; international
relations and others.
We aim to widen the frontier of those engaged in our discussion of East
Asia by welcoming PhD students from any disciplinary background with an
interest in East Asia's past, present and future. By so doing, the BRIDGE
conference will draw together multi-disciplinary perspectives to challenge
and develop our understanding of this region.
We welcome proposals for papers on our main theme, but we will also
consider the inclusion of other interesting presentations which contribute
to East Asian studies.
Keynote Speaker:
Professor Shaun Breslin (University of Warwick)
