The Graduate School spring events started out with a policy writing workshop in Stockholm in January organized by the Swedish Institute of International Affairs. In January Chontida defended her PhD on Chinese in Aceh in Lund, and in March two more PhD candidates will defend their PhD on, respectively, visual politics in Hong Kong and veganism in China and Taiwan.
There are also a range of upcoming seminars and lectures, including a lecture providing inspiration and advice on climate actions for academics with Professor Nicholas, and a seminar on advice for those planning to work with translations with Sweden's most prolific translator of Chinese fiction, Dr Gustafsson Chen. If any PhD students based outside of Lund wants to join any of them let me know as we might help with travel and accommodation!
This year's annual retreat will take place in Skanör, and three keynotes will address issues related to how individuals and communities think about and address the future in different fields and regions. PhD students have an opportunity to discuss their work in progress, and there will also be opportunities to discuss future careers as well as some time to sit and work. Deadline to apply is 15 March.
The Graduate School's PhD students are active in producing podcasts for the Nordic Asia Podcast and you find the latest ones on our website.
We plan to collaborate with Kyoto University on their Next Generation Workshop that will take place 25-27 September. The topic will probably focus on belongings, care, and demographic changes. The graduate school will be able to fund up to five PhD students. More information will follow in April but you can already now contact me if you are interested.
The Centre for East and South-East Asia is announcing one fully funded PhD position (deadline 1 March), so help spread this information in your network.

Very best
