The University of Pittsburgh, in coordination with the Pittsburgh Asian Studies Consortium, is pleased to announce that it is holding the Pittsburgh Asian Studies Undergraduate Research Conference on February 25, 2023 at the University of Pittsburgh after a multi-year long hiatus due to the pandemic. Students are encouraged to sign up to give presentations of their undergraduate research projects and papers. This conference is an important event for both the Asian Studies Center and the University of Pittsburgh.
This is being organized as an in-person conference to allow students the opportunity to meet and network with one another on Pitt’s campus. Virtual participation cannot be accommodated except in the case of emergencies. Students interested in presenting will participate in panels, with speaking times between 10-15 minutes. Students interested in any region of Asia are encouraged to join. To register for the program, students only need to provide a subject for their paper/ title and the name and email of a faculty member who can vouch for them. Students who would like to attend the conference and hear the papers are also encouraged to register. For students planning on watching please ask them to indicate such in the title screen. The Undergraduate Asian Studies Research Conference will be an opportunity for undergraduates at any level to meet with other students interested in Asian Studies from around the northeast US.
Please encourage your students to participate. We are interested in every level of undergraduate student research, and we intend to publish papers from the conference digitally as part of our student research white paper series. This is an excellent opportunity to advance the professional development of your students and to contribute to the Pitt community. Students will gain valuable presentation and academic skills and will hopefully foster interest in Asian Studies.
