Dissertations in Central Asian Studies - Please Check Your Entry

[John Schoeberlein]

:: Ensure your inclusion in the Dissertations in Central Asian
    Studies Webpage -- and your colleagues, too.

Dear Colleagues,

We are putting together a page on the <Central Asian Studies World Wide>
website which is devoted to highlighting the "new" people in the field, by
listing their dissertations and some other key information.  The list is to
include those who have received PhD-equivalent degrees in the last 8 years
in any field of Central Asian studies, who made significant use of
materials pertaining to Central Asia in their PhD dissertation.

The webpage is meant to serve the following purposes, among others:

  - To show the new directions and topics being pursued in the field (which
    might help those currently defining thesis topics to build on current
    scholarship)

  - To help people find others working on topics of interest -- to put
    together conference panels, collaborative research projects, etc.

  - To help prospective graduate students to identify institutions which
    have supported PhDs on topics related to their interests

  - To provide an access point to important research which is not yet
    published

  - To help publishers find good manuscripts

  - To help potential employers find good, young expertise

Your assistance is requested in making this as complete and useful tool as
possible.  If you represent a university department or other institution,
you may wish to submit information on your graduates (so that the strength
of your institution shows in this list).  If you know of scholars who
should be included, please alert them to this, or help us to fill the gaps.
Please have a look at it at, and submit information yourself and/or other
scholars from your institution:
      http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~casww/CASWW_Diss.html

If you do not have access to the web for submitting your information, please
send us an email at <centasia at fas.harvard.edu> and we will send you a form
you can fill out using email.

The dissertations are arranged by field and indexed by Subject, Institution,
and Author, so it is a pretty good way to see how our field is developing --
and the more comprehensive it is, the better, so please contribute.

Thank you very much for your cooperation!

John Schoeberlein
