Welcome to H-Asia, a member of H-Net Humanities & Social Sciences Online. The primary purpose of H-ASIA is to enable historians and other Asia scholars to easily communicate current research and teaching interests; to discuss new articles, books, papers, approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to test new ideas and share comments and tips on teaching. H-Asia is especially committed to discussing region wide, comparative and professional issues important to scholars of Asia.

Apologies for any cross-posting. A previous, similar CFP was sent out with a Japan focus, and we have since broadened the geographical scope.

I am forwarding this request for a visiting international scholar in our department. Dr. Hyunju Kim (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies) is studying the state of Classical and Literary Chinese curriculum in North American higher education, and would like to contact instructors of Classical and Literary Chinese to understand the curriculum used at different institutions.
