Emerging Interventions in Contemporary China Studies

This working group is a forum for those engaged in China studies to come together as a community of scholars after years of relative isolation, and at a time of political and academic urgency affecting the field. In its first year, the group focused primarily on sharing works-in-progress by participants and on discussions of methodology, sources, themes and research questions. In the coming year, we will create a space from which to ask how as scholars we shape, question and engage larger, conflicting realms of public discourse and action defining China, expanding our session formats to include targeted reading group-style events, and our discussions around the changes in archives, methods and other urgent issues relevant to the field. To request to join the group, email the group lead linked in the list.
