Centre for East Asian Studies and the Finnish University Network for Asian Studies proudly present:

HOW TO SURVIVE A PHD IN ASIAN STUDIES

A documentary about the challenges of starting and finishing a dissertation in Asian Studies and how to overcome those.

In the documentary we hear from Finnish Asia scholars who in recent years have received a PhD in Asian Studies. The film offers hard fought insights into research, fieldwork and publishing for those taking on dissertation work. For those not working on a dissertation in Asian studies, the documentary offers a look at what it means to do research in practice.

The documentary is presented in three acts:
ACT I “What Have I Got Myself Into?”
ACT II “Tools of the Trade”
ACT III “The Road Goes Ever On and On”
