2013 Berkeley-Stanford Graduate Student Conference in Modern Chinese Humanities
April 26-27
Stanford University

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 any humanistic discipline. This not only provides a window into what kind of new research is going on right now in Chinese Studies, but also gives budding scholars the opportunity to interact with peers from geographically disparate institutions whom they might not otherwise be exposed to, allowing a broad platform for the sharing of ideas and interests. Specifically, it is hoped this conference will encourage 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.
