Dear Student:
Stanford Project for U.S.-China Dialogue is a newly established student initiative, aimed to challenge the current "information asymmetries" between U.S. and China, resulted from the monopoly of traditional channels of communication.
Our project strives to bridge the gap between the two most important global powers in the 21st century, by publishing original works authored by American and Chinese students in our website at http://www.stanford.edu/group/scr. We hope our efforts could inspire innovative thinkings, foster meaningful discussions, and contribute to the forming of constructive bilateral relationship, which is key to global security and prosperity.
We are now accepting submissions that reflect your original thoughts on important and interesting aspects of U.S.-China relations. We are open to a variety of writing styles as long as you a) deliver independent and original thoughts;b) base your argument on your own experience or academic research; and c) present your argument in a respectful and constructive way. Suggested works of submissions include a) a term paper on U.S.-China relations or American studies;b) a book review on latest scholar publications on U.S.-China relations; c) apolicy review/analysis piece on current topics of bilateral relations; d) a reflection essay on your personal cross-cultural experience of interning, volunteering, studying, or traveling in the U.S.; e) a creative work of arts in literature, painting, or photography of digital format; and anything else you consider a good match with our mission. Once receiving your submission, we wouldwork together with your via email to refine the work for final publication, and possibly help to establish pre-publication correspondence channel with authors of the other country who work on similar topics with you. We look forwardto submission from all interested particular, particularly Chinese college students like you, who have already demonstrated interest on U.S.-China relations.
As our group develops, we also welcome suggestions, project proposals, group collaboration opportunities and look forward to hearing from you for any new idea you might have to better shorten the miscommunication gap across the Pacific Ocean. We particularly look forward to student group leaders with same visions to promote bilateral understandings between two nations, as well as regular contributors who would be our special commissioned correspondent. Please feel free to contact us for such opportunities via email at uschinadialogue@gmail.com, and visit our website (http://www.stanford.edu/group/scr) for updates.
