Multidisciplinary Perspectives from Students in Canada”

University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada

This year is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Canada and the People’s Republic of China, which began in 1970, in advance of many Western countries. Today, China is Canada's second most important trade partner by volume, over 3% of the country speaks Chinese languages natively, and people exchanges have become increasingly prominent with immigration being key for Canada and large numbers of Canadians living and working in China. Despite these links, diplomatic relations between the two countries have been distant over the last several years.

This book, part of a collection entitled China in the 21^st Century, published by the University of Ottawa Press, aims at bringing together a broad cross-section of students to share their research regarding the latest developments in studies related to China. This volume of the collection is particularly exciting in that the perspectives will typically be from the next generation of scholars, with a different relationship to China (and Canada) than more established authors. It is hoped that this compilation will help to breathe new life into the study of China from Canada, and reassess and reframe issues related to China in the 21th century.

For this particular publication, we encourage graduate students (Master and PhD. level) to send in abstracts (followed by full papers) about their research developments or their specific Thesis with regard to contemporary China. Exceptional undergraduate students will also be considered. Papers may be submitted in English or French. This is an excellent opportunity for young academics to undergo a peer review process, publish a paper, and engage in academic activity with fellow China-scholars from across Canada and the world. We look forward to receiving your proposals, and embarking on this important journey with you over the next 8 months. Details regarding potential topics and a full timeline are listed below.  Deadline for proposals: OCTOBER 15, 2010.
