SUMMARY:2020 APSA Asia Workshop: Call For Leadership Proposals
DESCRIPTION:The American Political Science Association (APSA) is pleased to announce a call for proposals from political scientists interested in serving as co-leaders for the 2nd annual Asia Workshop. The one-week program will be held at a university or research institute in East Asia in the summer of 2020. For a full description of the program and application process\, see the project website: https://connect.apsanet.org/asia/. \nBackground \nFunded by Henry Luce Foundation\, the Asia Pacific Workshops are a multi-year effort to support political science research and networking among early-career scholars across the East and Southeast Asia. The workshops extend APSA’s engagement with the international political science community and strengthen efforts to support research networks linking U.S. scholars with colleagues in Asia. The inaugural workshop is being hosted by Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) in Penang\, Malaysia from June 23-29\, 2019. \nWorkshops are hosted in cooperation with universities and research institutions in East and Southeast Asia. Each program is led by a team of two scholars based at universities in the Asia and two scholars based in the U.S. \nUp to twenty competitively-selected PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers from across the Asian region are selected to participate. Each program is dedicated to a substantive issue in political science\, with a unique schedule of lectures\, discussions\, topical presentations and debates\, guest speakers\, peer review sessions\, professional development seminars\, and local field trips. Throughout the program\, fellows receive critical feedback on their own research and work to refine their manuscripts for publication. The working language of the program is English. \nWorkshop co-leaders serve as academic directors of the program and are responsible for identifying universities or research institutes in the region to host the workshops\, preparing a unique syllabus with readings and discussion sessions\, and providing detailed feedback on participants’ research. Program administration and logistics will be led by APSA staff in conjunction with local host partners. An honorarium will be provided and related expenses (transportation and lodging) will be covered. \nApplication Instructions and Criteria \nWorkshop proposals should be submitted jointly by the four co-leaders (two based in the Asia and two based in the U.S.). Leadership teams may include a combination of junior (assistant professor) and senior scholars (associate or full professor); however\, must include at least two senior scholars with experience advising PhD candidates. Proposals should explain the scope of the professional ties between workshop co-leaders\, with preference given to individuals and teams demonstrating previous collaboration\, and to teams that represent diverse communities across East Asia\, Southeast Asia\, and the United States. \nWorkshop proposals should specify\, with justification\, where the workshop will take place and with which institution (since the 2019 workshop will take place in Southeast Asia\, proposals should indicate an institutional partner in East Asia to host the 2020 workshop). Strong preference will be given to proposals that include one of the Asian-based co-leaders’ institutions as host partner. Local partners must present a welcoming environment for social science research and have the institutional capacity to support a successful residential workshop\, including close linkages to local institutions of higher education and research communities. \nProposals should be written in three sections:\nI. Workshop Theme (2-3 pages)\nThe workshop theme proposal should provide a coherent intellectual foundation for the overall program. Prospective co-leaders should specify a thematic focus and outline relevant sub-themes from which they will build a reading list and set the schedule of events for both workshop weeks. Any research topic or substantive theme in political science is welcome. Proposals should address how the theme will incorporate theoretical and methodological training\, how it will incorporate new developments in the field and literature\, and how it will achieve the program goals of supporting regional networking and publication. \n\nLeaders and Partners (2-3 pages)\nIn this section\, co-leaders must provide detailed information on the following:\n– Identify the workshop co-leaders and describe the professional ties between them.\n– A specific division of labor among the workshop leaders. For example\, which workshop leaders are best suited to assume responsibility for particular sub-themes? Which workshop leaders can help identify local guest speakers for particular topics?\n– Proposed location and institutional partner\, including:\n– Specification and justification for workshop locations and host university/research institutes\n– Overview of recommended host institutions and relevant background\, including:\n– Description of institutional capacity to host a residential workshop for 25 participants\n– Explanation of existing ties to local research communities and universities\n– Description of past experience in hosting social science conferences or events\n– Several possible dates for the 7-day workshop. We prefer for the summer program to be held in June or July\, but alternative schedules may be considered. Final dates will be set in consultation with APSA staff\, co-leaders\, and host partners.\n– Commitment to the collective leadership of the workshop\, including devoting sufficient time to:\n– reviewing all participant applications\n– finalizing the workshop syllabus and schedule\n– preparing for and attending the workshop in residence\n– consulting regularly with APSA staff throughout the workshop program\n– communicating with fellows over the course of the workshop program as needed\n\nIII. Supplementary Information (no page limit)\nThis section of the proposal should provide: \n\nRecent CVs for all prospective workshop co-leaders\nA discussion of any relevant experience in organizing workshops\nA draft reading list and/or workshop schedule (optional)\nA letter of support from the proposed institutional partner (optional)\n\nApplication Timeline and Information\nProposals should be submitted via the online form – https://apsa.wufoo.com/…/2020-asia-workshopleadership-prop…/ – no later than Sunday October 27\, 2019. Team selection will be announced in December 2019. Prospective leaders interested in discussing their proposal ideas and/or receiving feedback on a draft proposal are encouraged to reach out to APSA well before the deadline. \nContact Us: Send an email to asiaworkshops@apsanet.org if you have questions or would like more information about the workshops and/or application process. \n  \nSource: https://www.facebook.com/APSASEAsia/posts/2020-apsa-asia-workshopcall-for-leadership-proposalsdeadline-sunday-october-27-2/2305977662813987/ \n

SUMMARY:ASEAN in Today's World (AsTW)
DESCRIPTION:ASEAN in Today’s World (AsTW) is a two-week international study program focusing on ASEAN and East Asian affairs. It is designed for university undergraduate students from around the world. The medium of instruction is English. AsTW was launched in March 2009 in Thailand. From 2009 to 2011\, AsTW was co-organized by Kyushu University (Japan) and Mahidol University (Thailand). From 2012 to 2014\, Kyushu University worked together with Ateneo de Manila University (the Philippines) and hosted AsTW in the Philippines. From 2015 to 2017\, AsTW was held at Vietnam National Universiy\, Hanoi (Vietnam). Since 2018\, AsTW has been co-organized with University of Malaya (Malaysia) and the AsTW 2020 will be the last AsTW at University of Malaya. \nThose six prestigious universities in the ASEAN regions and Japan\, namely University of Malaya\, Mahidol University\, Ateneo de Manila University\, Vietnam National University\, Hanoi\, Fukuoka Women’s University\, and Kyushu University\, have collaborated in the AsTW program with the strong support from the ASEAN Secretariat and AUN. \nThe 2020 session will convene\nfrom February 22 to March 5\, 2020\nat University of Malaya\, Malaysia \nApplication deadline:October 27\, 2019 \n  \nStructure of AsTW: \nThe AsTW curriculum consists of ASEAN Studies (AS) and Asian Languages & Cultures (ALC)courses\, supplemented by co-curricular Study Trips\, providing students with rich and unique learning opportunities. \nThe AS component gives AsTW its distinction as a rigorous introduction to selected ASEAN issues that increasingly affect global and regional “ASEAN+3” relations. Students will broaden their knowledge and gain deeper understanding of ASEAN and “ASEAN+3” cooperation through the AS courses. A valuable part of the program is the opportunity to approach ASEAN and East Asia topics from different perspectives. \nThe ALC component provides students with an intensive Asian language study experience designed to build proficiency in the language chosen and to help with acquisition of basic knowledge of the related culture in an integrated approach. Students will gain a general understanding of the culture and sociolinguistic context of each language. By the end of each course\, students are expected to have developed some fundamental skills in listening and speaking as well as an understanding of daily conduct in the appropriate cultural setting. \nThe combination of AS and ALC studies will contribute to the students’ synthetic understanding of the ASEAN and East Asia communities. \nA series of cultural study trips is another attractive part of the program. Each excursion is intended to allow students the chance to increase their awareness and enhance their appreciation of the history\, culture\, and social life of the country where AsTW is held. \nTo complete the AsTW program\, students must enroll in two courses (one each from the ALC and AS offerings) for credit and participate in all official events. Students who meet all AsTW requirements will be awarded a certificate issued jointly by Kyushu University and a partner university. \nSource: http://www.isc.kyushu-u.ac.jp/astw/?fbclid=IwAR38uAtGYc78W4xctUatzVvx4AujP_9bROY3JeReQiRAzulVJ3ncYMkIRx4 \n
