Young Researcher Workshops
About the Workshops
The SCCEI Young Researcher Workshops are a bi-weekly series of presentations from scholars around campus who are working on issues related to China’s economy and institutions. The aim of the series is to bring together young scholars by providing a platform to present new research, get feedback, exchange ideas, and make connections. Each session features a single presenter who may present a new research plan, share results from preliminary data analyses, or do a trial run of a job talk or conference presentation. The Workshop Series is an opportunity to give and receive feedback on existing research, get to know other researchers around campus who are working on or in China, and be a testing ground for new ideas, data, and presentations.
If you still have questions about what these workshops will look like, click through the questions on the left to learn more about the content and format of the series.
Anyone with research related to China’s economy and institutions, broadly defined is welcome to present. Priority will be given to young scholars in the field, particularly PhD students, post-doctoral scholars, research fellows, and visiting scholars.

We welcome presentations based on data driven research related to China’s economy, broadly defined. Explore our research initiatives to learn more about the topical areas that SCCEI has identified as core to our mission.
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?
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. Presenters are also welcome to invite their own academic advisors and collaborators.
Research at almost any stage is welcome. We do ask that presentations be accompanied by a thought-out slide-deck that introduces your research question, data source(s), and the proposed research plan and methods.
We will send out timely reminders before each workshop to everyone on our mailing list. Be sure to sign up to receive all announcements and calendar invites. You can also view all upcoming workshops for the quarter on our events page.
