Young Scholars’ Forum in Chinese Studies
Institute of Chinese Studies, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
June 19-20, 2014
The Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS) in The Chinese University of Hong Kong announces the 2014 Young Scholars’ Forum in Chinese Studies, to be held June 19-20, 2014, at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The forum aims to nurture young scholars in Chinese Studies and strengthen the network among young scholars in the field.
ICS plans to invite 20-25 Ph.D. students (after completing qualifying examination) or young scholars with less than 5 years’ working experiences from local and overseas for presentation of their recent research output on any aspect of Chinese studies, drawing on but not limited to the traditional disciplines of history, literature, religion, art, social sciences, and thought. We encourage proposals that explore new methodologies, utilize archival materials and recent developments in digital technology, or reconfigure or cross disciplinary boundaries.
The conference will cover expenses for lodging and round-trip transportation for the participants (maximum subsidies: 1000 USD). Conference registration is free.
Papers will be selected by a committee from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Local faculty will serve as discussants for the selected papers.
