Call for Papers


Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Young Scholars' Forum 2024 plans to invite Ph.D. candidates (after completing qualifying examination) or Ph.D. graduates with less than 5 years of work experience (including postdoctoral fellows), and gathers young scholars from around the world, including past YSF participants, to share their latest research, engage in intellectual dialogue, and foster interdisciplinary networks in the field of Chinese Studies.

In a three-day programme, the Forum will explore the multifaceted aspects of Chinese studies, focusing on the intersections of nature, culture, and social life, in a series of thought-provoking panel discussions and sharing sessions. The Forum welcomes submission of abstracts on the following sub-themes:
•        Nature and environment in Chinese socio-cultural life
•        Sustainability and Chinese Studies
•        Chinese thought and its global influences
•        Nature in Chinese literature, art, philosophy, and so on.
•        The impact of science and technology on Chinese Studies
•        The relationship between disciplines and Chinese Studies
•        Chinese perspectives and approaches to the Anthropocene, and to the ideas of posthumanism, object-oriented ontology, ecocriticism, etc.
•        The everyday and the mundane in the Chinese world

Participants are expected to be proficient in both English and Chinese.

The conference will only cover expenses for lodging and round-trip transportation (economy class) for the participants*. The organizer will provide maximum subsidy of 1000 USD subject to approval. Conference registration is free.

Papers will be selected by a committee from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Local faculty will serve as discussants for the selected papers. Publication for selected papers will be considered after the forum.
