Berkeley-Stanford Grad Conference 2015
BERKELEY-STANFORD GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE IN MODERN CHINESE HUMANITIES, 2015
Initiated in 2010,the annual Berkeley-Stanford (“BerkiStan”) 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 features a keynote address from a prominent Chinese studies scholar, chosen by the student members of the organizing committee. Beginning in 2015, a BerkiStan alum is invited to deliver the alumni keynote address.
