AAS 2015: A Blog Series
On the rise of China, rethinking "brain drain", and South Korea’s democracy movement.
In advance of the Association for Asian Studies annual meeting (kicking off this Friday), this week the Stanford Press blog presents a lineup of pieces zeroing in on recent scholarship in Asian Studies including a myth-busting piece on China’s rise, a reassessment of the “brain drain” phenomenon in the global competition for talent, and a reflection on South Korea’s democracy movement. Also see tips on writing vividly in academia from sociology and Asian Studies editor, Jenny Gavacs, who will be in attendance at the AAS conference and hosting an open hour from 1-2 pm on Saturday at the Stanford booth (#401), where you can also pick up new Asian Studies titles at a 20-30% discount.
