Graduate students and early-career scholars attended an in-person, workshop-style conference to foster discussion about border-crossing over the longue durée history of late imperial China. The conference was held in two parts, with meetings in New York and Teipei. Scholars across academic ranks in Asia and North America circulated their papers in advance for in-depth discussion, and the resulting research was published as an open-source publication.
