2017 Berkeley-Stanford Graduate Conference in Modern Chinese Humanities
April 14-15, 2017 at Stanford University

Currently enrolled graduate students are invited to submit paper proposals for the Berkeley-Stanford Graduate Conference in Modern Chinese Humanities, to be held April 14-15, 2017 at Stanford University.

Initiated in 2010, the annual Berkeley-Stanford Graduate Student Conference in Modern Chinese Humanities brings together current graduate students from across the U.S. and around the world to present innovative research on any aspect of modern Chinese cultural production in the humanistic disciplines. The conference provides a window into current research in Chinese studies, and serves as a platform for fostering interaction among budding scholars of geographically disparate institutions, facilitating their exchange of ideas and interests. Specifically, the organizing committee hopes that this conference will encourage interdisciplinary scholarship within and between literary and cultural studies, cultural history, art history, film and media studies, musicology and sound studies, as well as the interpretative social sciences.

Each year the conference also features a keynote address from a prominent Chinese studies scholar and an address from an alumnus who previously presented at the conference as a graduate student—both chosen by the student organizing committee. This year’s keynote address will feature Lydia Liu (East Asian Languages and Cultures, Columbia University). Calvin Hui (Modern Languages and Literatures, College of William and Mary) will present the alumni keynote address.

Currently enrolled graduate students at any institution are encouraged to apply. Conference registration is free. Presenters will be provided with shared lodging, Friday dinner, and Saturday lunch. Participants should seek travel funding from their home university.
