H-PRC is the H-Net presence of the PRC History Group, a network of scholars with interests in the history of the People’s Republic of China. We define history broadly, to encompass a wide variety of disciplinary approaches, and we understand the history of the PRC to include eras prior to the official change of state power in 1949.
(Editor's note: this workshop is organized in collaboration with Made in China and touches on the issue of Chinese censorship of academic journals, so it might be relevant to H-PRC members.)

apologies for the crossposting, I am circulating the link to the latest issue of Made in Journal Journal https://madeinchinajournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Made-in-China-02-2019.pdf.
