Graduate Student Conference
The CU Boulder Asian Studies Graduate Association (CUBASGA) invites submissions for its annual graduate student conference, to be held fully in-person on the CU Boulder campus on February 22 & 23, 2025.
We invite current graduate students from across the US and around the world engaged in research on Asia, particularly in the fields of Chinese and Japanese studies, to submit proposals on their research across fields, such as: Anthropology, Art & Art History, Literatures, Economics, Ethnic Studies, Ethnomusicology, Film Studies, Geography, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, Sociology, Theatre & Dance, Urban & Regional Planning, and Women’s Studies.
The conference will include keynote addresses from two prominent scholars in Chinese and Japanese studies: Professor Ronald Egan (Stanford W. Ascherman, M.D. Professor, Stanford University) and Professor David Atherton (Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Harvard University). Keynote speakers and University of Colorado faculty will be on hand to provide feedback to presenters throughout the conference. Above all, the conference is a forum through which graduate students, researchers, and faculty are able to engage in dialogues of critical importance to the development of our respective fields, providing participants with opportunities to expand their academic perspectives as well as academic and professional networks.
To apply, please submit a 300-word conference paper proposal and a CV to the following email address: cubasga@colorado.edu by December 5, 2024. Successful applicants will be notified of acceptance by the end of 2024. For inquiries, please email CUBASGA student administrators at cubasga@colorado.edu.
We look forward to your submissions!
Sincerely,
