Grad Seminar on Modern and Contemporary China–cfp

[Call for Papers] Young Scholars’ Forum in Chinese Studies 2023
Graduate Seminar on Modern and Contemporary China
January 4 – 5, 2024

The Chinese University of Hong Kong-Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Asia-Pacific Centre for Chinese Studies, the Institute of Chinese Studies and the Centre for China Studies are pleased to announce this call for papers for the Sixteenth Graduate Seminar on Modern and Contemporary China scheduled for January 4 – 5, 2024.

The Seminar theme is “Land in China, 1900-2024.” We welcome paper proposals on subjects from across the spectrum of environmental, economic, political, legal, social, ideological and cultural approaches to examining changes of the land in China over the last century until today. All disciplines and theoretical frameworks will be considered, provided the papers are based on original, empirical research. We will not accept papers on preliminary work, potential future projects, or of a primarily speculative nature.

We aim to facilitate academic exchange between Chinese and overseas scholars by ensuring a suitable balance of representation from both groups. The working languages of the Seminar are Chinese and English. Participants are welcome to undertake research in our well-known University Library USC Collection and Archives on Post-1949 China prior to and following the Seminar.

Application Procedure

The selection result will be announced to applicants by August 14, 2023.
