“China in the Modern World: Paradigms and Methodologies”
One day symposium
This one day symposium aims to bring together international and UK scholars from different disciplines to discuss and reflect upon current research on China’s interaction with other cultures since the late 19th century in fields such as science, social science, literature and art. We are keen to investigate the trends and patterns of cultural and knowledge exchanges between China and other cultures and to explore the approaches and methodologies that have been applied by researchers to understand and analyse them.
