Call for Papers and Participation: Summer School for Doctoral Researchers on the Philippines

2014 IPC SUMMER SCHOOL FOR DOCTORAL RESEARCHERS ON THE PHILIPPINES
INSTITUTE OF PHILIPPINE CULTURE
School of Social Sciences, Loyola Schools
Ateneo de Manila University

*Theme: Historical and ethnographic approaches to Philippine culture*

June 1-4, 2014
Ateneo de Manila University
Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines

*Call for papers and participation*
The Institute of Philippine Culture (IPC), School of Social Sciences,
Ateneo de Manila University, invites applications from PhD students in the
social sciences or interdisciplinary programs to submit papers and attend
the *Second (2014) IPC Summer School for PhD Students in Philippine Studies*.
This will be held at the* Ateneo de Manila University from June 1 to 4,
2014, *with the theme *"Historical and ethnographic approaches to
Philippine culture."* Given this theme, the IPC Summer School addresses
questions about how historical and ethnographic approaches contribute to a
closer understanding of Philippine social realities, what principles inform
their conceptual and methodological orientations, and whether these
approaches can be extended to other aspects of Philippine studies.
Historical and ethnographic approaches to Philippine Studies will be the
focus of the lectures that will be delivered by the workshop moderators, *Dr.
Patricio N. Abinales *and *Dr. Ramon Guillermo*.

The program will also include presentations by the students of their papers
and subsequent discussion by the group of participants. The theme as
broadly defined should allow students to relate their work to one or more
of the summer school's emphases and concerns.

Doctoral students who are enrolled in either a Philippine or overseas
university conducting research on the Philippines may apply. Revised
versions of the papers presented in the Summer School will be considered
for publication in *Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic
Viewpoints*.

The IPC will cover travel and lodging expenses, and meals during the Summer
School.

Interested candidates are requested to submit the following documents
by 15 April 2014:
a)  Accomplished application form (please see file attachment)

b)  A curriculum vitae

c)  A paper that is *4,000 - 5,000 words in length*, including notes and
references. It should not have been previously published, nor should it
have been submitted to any journal for possible publication. (A paper that
had been passed as a course requirement can be submitted, as long as it had
never been published or submitted to a journal for consideration, and as
long as it hews to the guidelines for content and format herein described).
The paper should include a clearly delineated research problem, a
background on the topic and a review of related literature, the theoretical
approach(es), methodological approach(es), findings, and conclusions of the
study. It should be typed as a Microsoft Word file, formatted to print on
A4 (8.27" x 11.69")-size paper, double-spaced, use a 12-point font
(preferably Times New Roman 12), employ italics rather than underlining (except
with URL addresses), and page-numbered at the top right side. Figures
and/or tables should be used minimally, referenced properly (the source
cited), and placed within the main text of the paper, rather than at the
end. Subheadings must be provided as appropriate. The paper should use
*author-date
citations* (not notes and bibliography) based on the *Chicago Manual of
Style, 16th edition* (kindly refer to the author-date sample citations at
www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html).

d) An abstract of about 100 words

e) A list of university grades completed, and if possible, the grades.

f) A letter of recommendation from the dissertation adviser that comments
on the IPC Summer School applicant and the paper that is being submitted to
the IPC Summer School. Information from the dissertation adviser on the

completion) would be valuable and appreciated.
