The Birch, the nation's first and only undergraduate journal for Eastern European and Eurasian studies, is calling for submissions for its Spring 2010 issue. The Birch was founded in 2004 at Columbia University in New York and originally only included content from Columbia students. Since then, we have grown to include submissions from over 40 institutions in the U.S., the UK, and Russia, and we have expanded our area of interest from Russia to the entire post-Soviet region.
The Birch is entirely student-run and includes only exceptional undergraduate content. The journal comes out semiannually and consists of three main sections: Creative Writing, Literary Criticism, and Culture & Politics. We also accept original photography and illustrations.
The deadline for submissions is Feb. 24, 2010. We gladly accept papers written for classes. The word limit is 2500. E-mail all submissions to thebirchjournal@gmail.com.
Please visit our Web site at www.thebirchonline.org to see past issues, and stop by our new blog (www.thebirchjournal.blogspot.com) to read about event= s happening at Columbia and in New York City.
DEADLINE: Monday, February 22, 2010
The Hong Kong Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (HKIHSS), the University of Hong Kong, the National University of Singapore (NUS), and the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) are pleased to announce an open call for proposals from faculty members at accredited universities and colleges in any world region, to organize and direct one of 6 thematic workshops at a 3-day international conference entitled "Inter-Asian Connections." (Full text of Call for Proposals attached.) Following on the successful inaugural conference held in Dubai in February 2008, this second conference will be held in Singapore on December 8-10, 2010. The conference aims to showcase innovative research from across the social sciences and related disciplines on themes of particular relevance to Asia, re-conceptualized as a dynamic and interconnected historical, geographical, and cultural formation stretching from the Middle East through Eurasia, South Asia and Southeast Asia, to East Asia.
Each workshop may have one or two directors, and selected workshop directors will be expected to help recruit and select 8 international workshop participants (senior and junior scholars, graduate students, other researchers) from across relevant disciplines in the social sciences and related fields. Proposals are invited from faculty interested in organizing and directing a workshop on one of the following 6 themes:
1) Transnational Knowledge Economies
2) Translocal Trust Networks, Religion and Law
3) Urban Ecologies in Asia's Cities
4) Security and Insecurity
5) Migration: Mobilities and Displacements
6) Old Histories, New Geographies
The full text of the call for proposals along with information on the application process is available at: http://www.ssrc.org/pages/conference-on-inter-asian-connections-ii-singapore-december-8-10-2010/.
