Call for Papers
The 2010 NACSA Annual Conference
Atlanta, GA, August 13, 2010
The 2010 NACSA Annual Conference will be held on August 13 in Atlanta, GA, following the great tradition of our association to hold a one-day mini-conference prior to the annual meetings of the American Sociological Association (August 14-17, 2010). The aim of this year’s conference is broadly defined to be two-fold: to promote scholarly research on Chinese society, culture, economy, and immigrant life in the greater Chinese Diaspora, and to continue building bridges and guanxi among scholars of Chinese heritage and non-Chinese ancestry in North America, Asia, and other parts of the world.
The themes of this year’s conference are otherwise open. We call for submissions of regular papers/panels and will let other theme(s) emerge from the submissions. We encourage scholars and graduate students from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the greater Chinese Diaspora to submit papers/panels in either English or Chinese.
The 2010 mini-conference will be holding 5-6 concurrent sessions and a special session, depending on the ASA space allocation.
- Individual papers: Complete papers or paper abstracts will be considered. Paper abstracts may be 1-2 pages but must contain sufficient detail and evidence of timely completion for the program committee in its decision making. Please give all authors’ and coauthors’ names, organizational affiliations, and email addresses.
- Panels: Any NACSA member can organize a panel. Each panel should consist of two to three presenters and a discussant. The panel organizer must submit a proposal specifying the theme of the panel along with the summaries/abstracts of the papers selected. Pease give all panelists’ names, organizational affiliations, and email addresses.
- Submissions may be in English or in Chinese. The program committee assumes that the language used in individual papers/abstracts or panel proposals would be the same as the language used in presentation at the annual conference. Papers should be formatted as Word documents and sent as an attached file.
- Email announcements to all organizers/discussants/authors about the tentative panels to which their presentations are assigned
- A formal acceptance letter is to be provided to all the authors for their travel funding application and/or visa application purposes.
- Visit http://www.nacsaglobal.net/ for a tentative annual conference program after June 15 of 2009.
- A full paper is to be submitted to the organizer/presider/discussant of the assigned session.
