- Trends in Scholarly Publishing about China: Thoughts on Books, Blogs, and the JournalsJeffrey Wasserstrom will talk about how the landscape for scholarly writing about China has been shifting. He will draw upon his experiences as a co-founder of the 'China Beat' blog/electronic magazine, the Editor of the Journal of Asian Studies, and the author of different kinds of books, ranging from purely academic to general interest publications, as well as magazine and newspaper article, and reflect on the perils and pleasures of trying to combine academic work with writing that seek to connect with general audiences.
