26th Annual Graduate Student Conference on East Asia
Columbia University, New York
February 24th to 25th, 2017
Graduate students are invited to submit abstracts for the 26th Annual Columbia Graduate Student Conference on East Asia. This two-day conference provides students from institutions around the world with the chance to meet and share research with their peers. In addition, participants will gain valuable experience presenting their work through discussion with fellow graduate students as well as Columbia faculty.
We welcome applications from students engaged in research on all fields in East Asian Studies. We especially encourage work that crosses national, temporal, and disciplinary boundaries to critically rethink the categories that both bind and sub-divide area studies.
Participation:
Presenters deliver a talk no longer than 15 minutes that summarizes research in progress.
Presentations may take three possible forms: a standard academic research paper, a Powerpoint presentation accompanied by a talk, or a work of documentary filmmaking. A documentary work should be 15 minutes or less, but if a student wishes to showcase a longer film, an entire panel slot will be devoted to it.
Finally, this year’s committee encourages applications from pre-arranged panels of three to four presenters organized around a specific research topic, such as a region, discipline or theme. If you are applying as a pre-formed panel, please make sure to include a topic or tentative title for your panel on the application form. Preference will be given to such applications; we also encourage panels to include participants from multiple institutions.
Applications (due November 1st, 2016):
Please fill out the application on <<http://ealac.columbia.edu/graduate/gradcon/>> with the required information:
*Your full name as you would like it to appear in the abstract booklet and conference schedule
*Email address
*Institutional affiliation
*Major area of study (region and discipline)
*Title of your paper (or alternative media presentation)
*250-300 word abstract in print-ready format, including your name and institution
*5 Paper Keywords
Successful applicants will be notified of acceptance by the end of November 2016.
Final Papers are due January 16th, 2017.
