China and the World Conference

The Southeast US Scholars and Friends of Late Imperial China (SEUSS-FLIC) will hold an in-person conference at Vanderbilt University in conjunction with a slate of virtual panels organized by the University of Tennessee Knoxville. Panels will explore the ways in which China’s late imperial period created the foundation for China’s identity today, and address issues in Chinese history, literature, and culture in the context of global connections and comparisons. The conference aims to forge connections between scholars from institutions within driving distance of Nashville, Tennessee, who may encounter barriers to attending other regional and national conferences.
