HS12: China in the World, Past and Present

Collaborative Goals

Given the overlapping thematic and methodological interests of the three organizers, the main collaborative goal of this working group moving forward is to bring scholars and public intellectuals who study China’s interconnected fate with the globe to campuses for conferences, workshops, and public-facing talks. These efforts aim to facilitate the development of scholarship among the three organizers and, more importantly, to build communities among faculty and students—both on the three campuses and beyond—who are interested in exploring new approaches to examining and theorizing China’s global connections.

By raising awareness and creating alternatives to prevailing understandings of “global China” among faculty, staff, students, and the broader public, this group seeks to contribute to the broader goal of preparing for a new age of globality amidst the current receding phase of globalization.
