Grounding Global China

Idea and Capacity Development Event Series for Early and Mid-Career Researchers

As China's influence permeates the globe through economic ventures and cultural diplomacy, there is an escalating need for cutting-edge research beyond surface-level observations. This series of three events, generously funded by the Asian Studies Association of Australia, offers Early and Mid-Career Researchers (EMCRs) specialising in diverse Indo-Pacific landscapes an unparalleled platform for honing their research agendas. 

By EMCRs and for EMCRs, this event series is more than just a platform for academic exchange but an incubator for innovative thinking and a launchpad for ground-breaking research in understanding China's evolving global footprint.

Why Should I Attend?

🔍 Focused Research Objectives: Selected EMCRs will dive deep into their research, scrutinising their questions, methodologies, and how their work contributes to shattering traditional boundaries in Asian studies.

🎙 Constructive "Feed-forwards": The events shift the narrative from feedback to "feed-forwards," empowering scholars to refine and enrich their ongoing or future research projects.

🤝 Collaborative Excellence: We believe in the power of interdisciplinary dialogues. Engage in compelling conversations and ignite potential collaborations with peers who share your research interests but may be siloed in different academic settings.

What Can I Anticipate?

🌱 Cultivating New Perspectives: Experience how new insights flourish when EMCRs from varying geographical specialities collaborate on shared research agendas.

💡 A Sense of Community: Navigate the labyrinthine corridors of academia with greater ease by connecting with like-minded EMCRs across Australian universities.

🛠 Career Amplification: Grow EMCR professional networks and fine-tune their research capacities through meaningful interactions between early career researchers and mid-career researchers.
