CFP -- 2021 Dissertation Workshop: Research Redesign in the Covid Context

2021 Dissertation Workshop: Research Redesign in the Covid Context

February 24-25, 2021
Application Deadline: Friday, January 15, 2021

Indiana University East Asian Studies Center and University of Illinois Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies, with support from the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant, are pleased to announce the jointly organized online Dissertation Workshop.

The theme of this dissertation workshop is “Research redesign in the context of the Covid pandemic.” Everyone who relies on archival work or fieldwork in international locations by now realizes that they must adjust their plans and goals in order to continue an active research life. This is certainly true for all dissertation students who have made plans and, in many cases, received funding. What does a person do in this situation?

This workshop is intended to bring together doctoral students, regardless of citizenship, in the humanities and social sciences who are (1) developing dissertation proposals or are in the early phases of research or dissertation writing; and who are (2) planning, conducting, or are in the early phases of writing up dissertation research. The workshop will be limited to 12 students, ideally from a broad array of disciplines and working on a wide variety of materials and in various regions of Asia. It also will include a small multidisciplinary and multi-area faculty with similar interests.

The workshop will be conducted online in two sessions:
February 24, 2021, 5-8 pm CST/6-9 pm EST)
February 25, 2021, 5-8 pm CST/6-9 pm EST)

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.

The Exchange is changing platforms! Please read to continue receiving our messages [working links]

  Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange   Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free.
