New SASE Grant!
Applications are open for SASE’s new Early Career Workshop, available to PhD students and researchers having completed their PhD within the past three years. Grants to attend the workshop are awarded on a competitive basis.
SASE Early Career Workshop
SASE will launch its new Early Career Workshop at its 2016 Conference, hosted by UC Berkeley. This initiative replaces SASE travel grant and student stipend awards. The purpose of the new Workshop is to provide additional career development and networking opportunities at SASE for PhD students and researchers having obtained their PhD after March 2013.
It is a one-day workshop that will run the day before the main conference – i.e. 23 June 2016. The Workshop will be hosted by senior SASE professors and includes a pre-Workshop evening meal with networking event, sessions on getting published, career development, and an introduction to socio-economics. It will also provide an opportunity for longer and deeper discussion of applicants’ conference papers.
If you would like to apply for the Workshop, your paper abstract should be submitted and accepted to the main conference through the normal process. Applicants must also submit their full paper, a short two-page CV, and a short one-page case for support to SASE via the submissions system by February 1, 2016. Any application without all of these elements will not be considered for inclusion in the Workshop.
While two papers may be submitted to the SASE conference, applicants may submit only one paper to be considered for the Early Career Workshop. Only those papers accepted to the main conference will be considered by the Workshop Organising Committee for additional inclusion in the Workshop.
Each Early Career Workshop participant will have their full main conference fee waived. Full conference accommodation will also be paid, including the additional night of accommodation for the Workshop. Participants will receive a certificate of participation and will be eligible to apply to a Hardship Fund for a contribution to their travel costs to the conference. Participants not requiring support for travel or accommodations should state this in their one-page letter. Likewise, participants who receive another award for their paper (i.e., the EHESS Fondation France-Japon award or the King Saud University award) will not receive further support for the Workshop.
There will be approximately 20 competitively allocated places at the Workshop. Notification of acceptance will be made April 4, 2016.

Network Q / EHESS Fondation France-Japon Best Paper Award
SASE is delighted to announce that its Research Network Q: Asian Capitalisms, through generous support from the Fondation France-Japon de l’EHESS and Banque de France, has created SASE Network Q / EHESS Fondation France-Japon Award.
A prize of €1,000 will be awarded to the best full paper submitted to Network Q for the SASE Annual Conference. The paper will be judged both for overall excellence and for its pertinence to the theme of Asian capitalisms in particular. Among papers of equal excellence, preference will be given to scholars working in Asia.
Submissions should have a well-defined argument, a robust empirical foundation, and a connection to existing scholarly literature on their topic. We also welcome submissions addressing weaknesses in dominant conceptions of diversity of capitalism and institutional chance, and examining alternative conceptions.
In 2016, the Network Q prize committee is composed of Markus Taube (University of Duisburg Essen), Gary Herrigel (Chicago University), and Sebastien Lechevalier (EHESS)
