Organizational meeting notes

The Art and Politics of East Asia workshop presents:

Organizational Meeting for the 2012-13 Academic Year

Please join us for a roundtable discussion about the APEA workshop!

Discussion topics can range from anything on theoretical and/or methodological concerns about how East Asian or Area studies are conducted at the university to organizational and administrative questions or suggestions about the running of the workshop itself. We hope this meeting will serve as an opportunity for students and faculty to contribute to the beginning of that process and we will also try to set the tone of discourse for the coming year.

Friday, October 12th,
3:00-5:00pm
Judd Hall, Room 313

The Art and Politics of East Asia Workshop Presents:

Introduction to Journal Publication

In this session we will discuss some of the basics of journal publication, covering topics such as what type of  audience to consider, what kind of experience to expect when submitting, etc. The discussion may also intersect with related issues, such as the current state of the humanities. Students and faculty are encouraged to come with questions and/or share in their own experiences.

There will be no presenter or pre-circulated material for this session.

The April 26th meeting will be an exception to this, as it is a co-sponsored workshop and will be meeting during the EthNoise! workshop’s regular time. The May 10th meeting will also deviate from our normal Friday schedule in order to avoid a conflict with the Japan in Chicago conference.

Greetings fellow work-shoppers,

We are going to try something different for our inaugural meeting of the 2011-2012 academic session: rather than having a formal paper presentation or lecture as normal we will instead have a round-table discussion on the themes, goals, and future of the Art and Politics in East Asia workshop. Over the past few years there has been growing interest in recalibrating the theoretical and methodological focus of the workshop (as well as a clarification of its stated goals) and this meeting will serve as an opportunity for students and faculty to contribute to the beginning of that process. We will also try to set the tone of discourse for the coming year.

Students and faculty are therefore invited to bring questions and ideas about the future of the workshop. Topics can range on anything from theoretical and/or methodological concerns about how East Asian or Area studies are envisioned at the university to organizational and administrative questions or suggestions about the workshop itself. We are particularly interested in having beginning graduate students attend and participate, as you will be the ones making the most of the workshop in the coming years.

The meeting will be held in room 313 of Judd Hall, 3 PM to 5 PM.

This workshop is sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies and the Council on Advanced Studies in the Humanities. Persons who believe they may need assistance to participate fully, please contact the coordinator (Daniel Johnson) in advance at: djohn @ uchicago dot edu
