"Rethinking Space and Place in Asia" Dissertation Workshop
"Rethinking Space and Place in Asia" Dissertation Workshop, April 9-12, 2006 San Francisco (Association for Asian Studies)
The Association for Asian Studies (AAS) Dissertation Workshop looks to convene graduate students working on doctoral dissertations that deal with the nature and implcations of transformations and reconceptualizations of space and place in Asia. We are seeking students concerned with historical and/or contemporary periods, and dealing with social, political and economic materials, and/or the arts and popular culture. Our hope is that comparisons across periods, regions, and types of material will both illuminate the strengths and uniqueness of particular projects and approaches, and also help construct broader understandings of these processes and their implications.
The workshop will be limited to 12 students, ideally from a broad array of disciplines and working on a wide variety of materials in a variety of time periods, and in various regions of Asia. It also will include a small multidisciplinary and multi-area faculty with similar concerns. The workshop is designed to enable students just beginning to work on these issues, or else well into them, to encourage greater cross-regional exchange and will also explore possibilities for continuing contact among interested students and faculty.
The workshop will be held in the days immediately following the 2006 Annual Meeting of the Association for Asian Studies in San Francisco. It will beging the evening of Sunday, April 9, and run through the afternoon of Wednesay, April 12, 2006.
The AAS is able to provide limited financial support for participants including three night's accommodations, meals and "need-based" travel funds up to a maximum of $300. Students needing additional funds to attend the workshop are encouraged to approach their home institutions for support. (It is hoped that participants also will attend the AAS annual meeting immediately prior to the workshop.)
Applicants need not have advanced to candidacy but must have at least drafted a dissertation research proposal. Applications are also welcome from doctoral students in the early phases of writing their dissertations. Applications consist of two items only:
1) Two copies of a current Curriculum Vitae, and
2) Two copies of the dissertation proposal, or if the research and writing is well under way, a statement of the specific issues being addressed, the intellectual appriach, and the materials being studied. Neither the proposal nor statement should exceed 10 double-spaced pages in length. Application materials (hard copy only, no email) must reach the Dissertation Workshop Program, AAS, 1021 East Huron St, Ann Arbor, MI, 48104, NO LATER THAN December 1, 2005
Workshop participants will be selected on the basis of the submitted projects, the potential for useful exchanges among them, and a concern to include a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, intellectual traditions and regions of Asia. Applicants will be informed whether or not they have been selected for the workshop by mid-December.
