Stanford-Berkeley Graduate Student Conference on Premodern Chinese
Humanities
Proposals Deadline: Dec. 10, 2013
 

A joint organizing committee of Stanford and UC Berkeley faculty announces
the inaugural Stanford-Berkeley Graduate Student Conference on Premodern
Chinese Humanities, to be held April 12, 2014, at the Center for East
Asian Studies, Stanford University. We plan this as a regional and
national annual meeting of graduate students specializing in premodern
Chinese studies, alternating sites in future years between Stanford and
Berkeley. The conference aims to bring together young scholars from
geographically distant institutions to present and discuss innovative
research
on China.

The one-day conference will feature up to eight graduate student
presentations of original research on any aspect of premodern Chinese
humanistic culture, 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
recent developments in digital technology, or reconfigure or cross
disciplinary boundaries.

The conference will cover expenses for lodging and round-trip
transportation (within North America) for the conference presenters. Other
interested students, at Stanford, Berkeley and beyond, are encouraged to
attend. Conference registration is free.

Papers will be selected by a joint faculty-student committee of China
specialists at the two institutions. Local faculty will serve as
discussants for the selected papers. Applicants are encouraged to present
papers associated with ongoing or projected dissertation research.
