<p>Call for Papers<br />
Oxford China Humanities Graduate Conference (10-11 Jan 2018)<br />
<a class="" href="http://www.oxfordchgc.wixsite.com/engagingchina" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.oxfordchgc.wixsite.com/engagingchina</a></p>
<p>Graduate students are invited to submit abstracts for the second annual University of Oxford China Humanities Graduate Conference, which takes the theme of ‘engagement’ in the Chinese context as its point of departure. We welcome papers that work with modern and pre-modern subject material and from all humanistic disciplines, including but not limited to history, literary and cultural studies, art, film and media studies, philosophy, human geography, anthropology, musicology and religion.</p>
<p>This conference asks applicants to critically assess through the lens of 'engagement' how the idea of 'China' as a geographical, cultural and national signifier is created. How is China engaging with neighbours close and far away? How does it attract the world and communities within? How do communities within and without engage with China? How does engagement inform the ways in which ‘China’ is conceived? Through this conference, we wish to highlight the ways, both past and present, in which ‘engagement’ is central to understanding ‘China’.</p>
<p>Possible topics may include (but are not limited to):</p>
