EASG MA Thesis Review
The MA Thesis Review is aimed at taught postgraduate students considering an MA dissertation topic related to East Asia. A panel of PhD researchers will ask questions, offer advice, and give comments based on a 150- to 200-word abstract and a 5-minute talk. This will provide a new perspective and encourage further reflection on the proposal before the formal MA dissertation process. It is a final opportunity to test out ideas and a chance to experience a common hallmark of the academic experience for those considering pursuing a career in academia: the review process. However, it is first and foremost, an advisory process, so participants are encouraged to ask the reviewers any questions they have regarding not only their comments and feedback, but also about MA dissertation-writing more generally.
It is being held as an all-day event and will be catered. Participants are encouraged to stay for the whole process to watch their colleagues' presentations, exchange opinions in an informal setting, and talk with the panel in a more informal setting. Likewise, available colleagues, researchers and students are encouraged to attend the process to offer their own insights more informally during Q&As or the breaks between presentations.
To participate, inform the EASG at easg@warwick.ac.uk by Thursday 5th December 2024; and submit your abstract by Thursday 9th January 2025.
For any questions, please contact the EASG at easg@warwick.ac.uk.
