SCCEI Student Seminar Series

The audience is typically made up of China-focused researchers from around campus - graduate students, visiting students and faculty from China, postdocs, and research scholars. We usually have several SCCEI faculty members in attendance as well to provide additional feedback. 

We also ask that all presenters actively invite their faculty advisor(s) to attend their presentation. 
 

We welcome presentations based on data driven research related to China’s economy, broadly defined. 

Example topics from our research include:

• What are the effects of upstream deforestation on Chinese communities living downstream?
• What is the long-run impact of a parenting intervention on children’s schooling?
• What has been the impact of the one-child policy on China’s economy?

We expect all presentations to have a Methodology section that clearly defines the data source(s) and collection methodology.

The seminar audience is multi-disciplinary, so while including a strong motivation for your research is important, please do not spend too much time on situating your work in field-specific theories.

While research at almost any stage is welcome, we ask all presentations clearly define:

• Your research question
• Your primary outcome variables
• Your study hypothesis
• Where, when, and how your data were collected

Please also include a summary table showing sample size and key sample characteristics.
