The newly-formed Contemporary China Colloquium (CCC) wants to provide an opportunity for scholars from a range of disciplines to share their research on contemporary (post-1949) China. We welcome proposals for presentations to be given during the Spring 2012 semester. Presentations will take place over dinner in a relatively informal workshop setting. Both works-in-progress and polished pieces are welcome.

If you are interested in presenting during the Spring semester, please send an email to contemporary-china-colloquium@googlegroups.com. Please provide a 1-paragraph description of the proposed presentation (describing the topic and methods), along with information about when (which month of the Fall semester) you ideally would like to present, and whether or not you would be interested in circulating a paper in advance (this is optional). In addition, please include your department and program affiliations, status (faculty, grad student, post-doc, etc.), and contact info.

*The Contemporary China Colloquium (CCC) is intended to bring together graduate students, post-docs, and faculty in the social sciences and related disciplines whose work or research interests are relevent to contemporary (1949 to the present) China. The primary purpose of the Colloquium would be for graduate students, post-docs, and faculty to present to each other and receive feedback, although those not interested in presenting are also encouraged to participate. In addition, we hope to occasionally invite guests from other universities and institutions to share their work with us at additional special events. The East Asian Studies Program and the China and the World Program will provide some support, and faculty involvement will be most welcome, but this is to be primarily a student-led initiative.
