The Association for Asian Studies and the Social Science Research Council are pleased to announce plans for the first jointly organized AAS-SSRC Dissertation Workshop funded by the Henry Luce Foundation. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the AAS annual conference in Toronto in March, 2012, and will be organized and led by David Szanton, and follow the same basic model used in previous AAS workshops and the SSRC Korean Studies Dissertation Workshop.

2012 Theme: Rewriting History: Nationalism, Identity, and the Politics of the Past in Asia

Location and Date: Toronto, March 12-15, 2012

Eligibility and Application:
•   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.
•   A narrative description of the dissertation topic (ten double-spaced typed pages), short application form, and curriculum vitae will be required for submission.

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 late January.
