ASEN Early Career and Ph.D. Project Workshop

In responding to the research difficulties arising from COVID-19 (including of presenting and developing research at conferences, and conducting fieldwork or archival research), the Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism is holding a project workshop for Ph.D. students and early career researchers (up to 3 years post-Ph.D./pre permanent job). This workshop is open across disciplines to those working within the field of nationalism and ethnicity studies. The workshop will provide a setting to present and discuss these works in development.

We plan to gather 10 participants, alongside the moderator (Dr. Eleanor Knott), for a workshop on Zoom. Participants should come prepared to present their research in small groups (10 minutes) and to the whole (group 5-10 minutes). The workshop will take place on the 28th of August 2020 at 2-4:30 pm (UTC+1).

To apply for the workshop, please submit a 150-word abstract on the project you would like to discuss, your name, affiliation/position, email and a few sentences on your progress through the project and problems experienced that you would like to be discussed. Please submit to e.k.knott@lse.ac.uk and asen@asen.ac.uk before the deadline on the 31st of July.

The submission of abstracts does not guarantee a spot in the workshop. If there are more applications than places, we will let you know if you are successful or if you are on the reserve list.
