"East Asian Studies Dissertation Reviews" - Invitation to AAS/Hawaii
Info Session
*************************************
From: Thomas S. Mullaney <tsmullaney@stanford.edu>
Dear Colleagues and Students,
I am writing to introduce a new electronic resource that features non-
critical, author-permitted reviews of recently defended dissertations
in the field of Chinese history. Fourteen reviews have been posted
thus far, and are available at http://
dissertationreviews.wordpress.com (a complete list of the reviews,
authors, and reviewers is included below).
The site is currently geared towards Chinese history, but is in the
process of expanding. At present, Nancy Abelmann (UIUC - Anthropology,
Asian-American Studies, EALC) is working on the first pilot extension
into Korean social science, with six reviews already in the pipeline.
We are also in conversation with scholars interested in developing a
Japan studies site. With these expansions in mind, the current name
("Chinese History Dissertation Reviews") will soon change to "East
Asian Studies Dissertation Reviews."
Barely in its fourth month, the site has already been viewed 13,000
times, and has expanded to include reviewers and reviewees from
Columbia, Cornell, Georgia Southern, Guilford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins,
Kansas State, La Trobe University, Marmara University (Turkey),
Middlebury, MIT, NYU, Princeton, Simon Fraser, Stanford, Sun Yat-sen
University, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UCSD, University of British
Columbia, University of Colorado, University of Illinois, University
of Michigan, University of Minnesota, University of Oregon, University
of Toronto, and Yale, among others.
In an effort to develop this resource further, and to discuss the
expansion of the site beyond History, and the development of parallel
sites for Japan Studies and Korea Studies, we will be holding an
informational session at the Association for Asian Studies Annual
Meeting in Hawaii. The meeting information is as follows:
Saturday, April 2
12:00-1:30pm
Main Conference Center (Hawaii Convention Center/1801 Kalakaua Avenue)
Room 305A
We would be grateful if you would spread the word to any China, Japan,
or Korea studies colleagues or students who might be interested, and
we hope to see you in Hawaii!
Happy Year of the Rabbit,
Tom Mullaney, Stanford University
Nancy Abelmann, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
