CALL FOR PAPERS：SECOND ANNUAL INTERDISCIPLINARY

2‐3 November 2012, University of Delhi, New Delhi

The India China Institute at The New School, New York and the Centre for Policy

Research, New Delhi, in collaboration with the East Asia Studies Departments of the

University of Delhi and Jawaharlal Nehru University invites submission of abstracts

for the Second Emerging Scholars Symposium on China Studies, 2‐3 November 2012.

The symposium will be held at the University of Delhi, New Delhi.

This unique initiative is designed to provide a platform for researchers pursuing an

advanced degree in MPhil/PhD work, including young scholars who received their

PhDs within the last 5 years, to present their ongoing research. Advance Master’s

degree students from professional fields such as law, design, and architecture are

also welcome to apply. We look forward to creative interventions from any

discipline, methodology, or combination thereof that address any aspect of China's

economic, social, cultural, and political development. Papers with a strong analytical

focus on India‐China interactions, comparisons, and impact will be given preference.

Abstracts should clearly state the paper’s key research questions as well its

theoretical framework. Applicants should also clearly state the theme’s overall

relevance and if the theme is part of the applicant’s ongoing research work. Only

original papers not previously published will be accepted.

The symposium is a part of ICI’s continuing commitment to build a community of

scholars who are engaged in research that focuses on new and innovative

approaches to understanding India China relations. For eight years ICI has provided a

space for the establishment and strengthening of scholarly networks for emerging

scholars of India and China who wish to share their research and explore

opportunities for advancing individual and collaborative scholarship. The emerging

scholars program also draws on The New School’s tradition of fostering horizontal

and vertical knowledge‐sharing across disciplines and amongst scholars in different

stages of their careers.
