In December 2006 the research project The Chinese Individual: Negotiations of Rights and Responsibilities made scholarships available to students in the Nordic region writing on the relationship between individual and collective in China.
The project received a total of eight applications and we are happy to announce that three students’ projects will receive scholarships from our project this year.
The MA students are:
Anita Bergsveen (Department of Sociology and Human Geography, University of Oslo) writing on Migrant Women in Beijing and the Right to a Life in the City;
Henrik Møller (Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen) with the project Yellow Bulls Grazing in a Grey Zone: Economic Practice and Social Positioning among Migrant Entrepreneurs at a Shanghai ‘Fake’ Commodity Market; and
Jenni Peisa (Department of East Asia Studies, University of Helsinki) with a project focusing on how the individual is represented in a selection of contemporary Chinese films. We are looking forward to meeting them at our workshop in Copenhagen in August!

The research project The Chinese Individual: Negotiations of Rights and Responsibilities offers 1-2 scholarships to talented MA students in the Nordic region, writing on the relationship between individual and collective in China. MA students from all disciplines writing their MA theses in 2007-08 are encouraged to apply. Deadline: March 15, 2007.
