> The Historical Society for Twentieth-Century China (HSTCC) and the Center
> for Chiang Kaishek and Modern Chinese History at Zhejiang University will
> hold a joint international conference at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou,
> China, June 1-3, 2012. The Program Committee welcomes proposals from the
> worldwide community of modern China scholars from various disciplines.
> The theme for the conference, described in greater details below, is
> "Reinterpreting Actors, Beliefs, and Institutions: Transformation and
> Evolution of Chinese Society in a Changing World, 1912-2012."
>
> The century following the founding of the Chinese Republic has witnessed
> both transformative and evolutionary changes in Chinese culture,
> practices,
> and institutions, all of which involved major historical actors in a
> changing international environment. Although China scholars have examined
> these changes in the past, China's rapid economic transformation and China's
> emergence as a major player in international relations have contributed to
> significant growth in the field of modern Chinese studies and resulted in
> the publication of a large number of archive-based monographs during the
> last two decades. The joint international conference of the Historical
> Society for Twentieth-Century China and the Center for Chiang Kaishek and
> Modern Chinese History at Zhejiang University, then, aims to discuss the
> most recent research on modern China and to consider reinterpretations and
> reassessments of changes in Chinese culture, practices, and institutions
> since the founding of the Chinese Republic in 1912.
>
> In particular, the Program Committee encourages panel/paper proposals
> dealing with the following: (1) Important figures of the last century such
> as Chiang Kaishek and Mao Zedong. The recent release of Chiang Kaishek's
> diary and other archival materials has prompted new studies and
> assessments
> of his life and activities. As many modern China scholars know already,
> the
> Center for Chiang Kaishek and Modern Chinese History at Zhejiang
> University
> sponsored a highly successful international symposium on Chiang Kaishek
> and
> modern China in 2010. (2) Beliefs ranging from ideas and doctrines to
> ideologies and belief systems. Examples include Buddhism, communism,
> Confucianism, and nationalism. (3) Institutions ranging from the political
> to the socioeconomic and the cultural. Examples include the Chinese
> administrative bureaucracy, the Chinese state enterprise system, and
> cultural and educational establishments. (4) China's foreign relations.
> Examples include China's unequal treaties with foreign powers, Sino-Soviet
> alliance during the 1950s, and the normalization of diplomatic relations
> between China and the United States during the 1970s. In keeping with
> longstanding policy, the Program Committee also entertains panel/paper
> proposals exploring other aspects of Chinese society.
>
> Scholars may submit proposals either for entire panels or for individual
> papers. A panel proposal should consist of the following: a panel title
> (no
> more than 20 words), a panel abstract (up to 500 words), individual paper
> titles and abstracts (up to 300 words each), a one-page curriculum vitae
> for
> each author of a paper, and correct mailing and email addresses for each
> presenter and panel chair/commentator. The panel abstract should explain
> the rationale for the panel, summarize the theme of the panel, and
> indicate
> the contact person for the panel. A proposed panel should have no more
> than
> three (3) presenters and one (1) chair/commentator. By contrast, an
> individual paper proposal should include a paper abstract (up to 300
> words),
> one-page curriculum vitae, and correct mailing and email addresses. The
> abstract should summarize the paper's argument, the sources on which it is
> based, and its relationship to existing scholarship. Except for panel
> chairs/commentators, HSTCC membership is required for all those presenting
> papers. The Program Committee will only accept panel/paper proposals of
> those whose current HSTCC membership is confirmed by HSTCC
> Secretary-Treasurer. Proposal selection will be competitive.
>
> Proposals may only be submitted electronically. Regardless of the type of
> proposals—panel or individual, all proposals must be submitted in their
> completed form (that is, with full information concerning all participants
> and their presentations) by midnight, U.S. Central Standard Time, on
> December 15, 2011. All panel/paper proposals should be sent to Morris L.
> Bian at bianmor@gmail.com as a MS Word document. Acceptance letters will
> be
> sent by February 15, 2012.
>
> Zhejiang University, located in Hangzhou, China, will serve as the host
> for
> the joint international conference of the Historical Society for
> Twentieth-Century China and the Center for Chiang Kaishek and Modern
> Chinese
> History at Zhejiang University. The three-day conference includes a visit
> to Chiang Kaishek's hometown in Xikou. The participants will pay for
> international travel as well as travel between Shanghai and Hangzhou. Once
> in Hangzhou, Zhejiang University will cover room and board for
> participants
> for the duration of the conference in accordance with the prevailing
> Chinese
> practice for scholarly conferences.
>
> All questions concerning the joint international conference of the
> Historical Society for Twentieth-Century China and the Center for Chiang
> Kaishek and Modern Chinese History at Zhejiang University should be
> directed
> to Morris L. Bian, HSTCC President.
