<p>Berkeley-Stanford Graduate Conference in Modern Chinese Humanities<br />
Date: Friday-Saturday, April 14-15, 2017<br />
Location: Lathrop East Asia Library, Room 224, Stanford University</p>
<p>Description: 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. This conference encourages 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.</p>
