Chinese History / Studies

This exploratory conference aims to bring new work on Ming and Qing literature into dialogue with approaches to the history and theory of media from across the humanities. Following calls to shift attention from the contents to the workings of media forms, we ask how different media shaped the perception and sensory experience of the “literary.” What were the devices, supports, and surfaces that shaped and sustained the possibilities of literary communication?

The D. Kim Foundation for the History of Science and Technology in East Asia, together with the Program in History and Philosophy of Science, Seoul National University, is pleased to announce a summer workshop for younger scholars to be held June 21-23, 2019 at Seoul National University, in Seoul, South Korea. The primary aims of the workshop are twofold. The first is to promote transnational exchange and collaboration in the history of science and technology in modern East Asia by bringing together 12-15 graduate students and recent PhDs for several days of lively and convivial exchange.

Graduate School of East Asian Studies (GEAS) will admit doctoral candidates to its program, beginning October 1^st, 2019. Up to 10 candidates will be accepted.

GEAS offers a social science-based, structured 3-year PhD programme with a regional focus on East Asia (China, Japan, Korea).
