The Illinois/Indiana East Asia National Resource Center
Consortium<http://www.iu.edu/~easc/about/consortium.shtml
> (IL/IN East Asia NRC) is pleased to announce its fifth annual IL/IN
National Dissertation Workshop in the field of Chinese law, conflict,
and society. The workshop will be held July 20-21, 2011 on the campus
of Indiana University Bloomington. Doctoral students in the
humanities, social sciences, and law whose dissertation projects
concern Chinese law and social, political, or cultural conflicts in
modern and contemporary China are invited to apply. Areas of interest
include anthropology, history, legal studies, political science, and
sociology, among others. The workshop is designed to enable students
just beginning work on their dissertations, as well as those farther
along, to engage in intensive discussions of their own and each
other's projects. Possibilities for continuing networks among
interested students and faculty will also be explored. The workshop
will be limited to eight participants, and the cost of the workshop,
some meals, and two nights' lodging will be covered by the IL/IN East
Asia NRC.

Faculty leaders: The workshop will be led by Ho-fung
Hung<http://www.indiana.edu/~soc/zbio_Hung.html

Cultures and of Gender and Women's Studies at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Eligibility and application: Applicants must be enrolled full-time in
a doctoral program and must have drafted a dissertation research
proposal, although they need not have advanced to candidacy. Those in
the early phases of writing are also encouraged to apply. In order to
prepare the ground for a productive exchange, participants must come
to the workshop having read and prepared comments on the other
participants' writing samples.

The application deadline is March 14, 2011. Application materials
consist of two items: (1) a current CV and (2) a 4-6-page double-
spaced dissertation proposal (including a description of the specific
issues being addressed, the intellectual approach, and the materials
being studied). Applications should be submitted by e-mail attachment

informed whether or not they have been selected for the workshop by
late April.
