Call for Proposals: 1st Carolina Conference on Chinese Thought
Saturday, April 6, 2024, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC
The Carolina Conference on Chinese Thought (CCCT) is envisioned as a regionally-based site for exchange and connection among those interested in Chinese thought, broadly construed. We invite scholars and graduate students based in the Carolinas to share and discuss their work on Chinese thought, drawing from any disciplinary perspective. Presentations focusing on research, pedagogy, and other engagements with Chinese thought are welcome. Works-in-progress are especially encouraged, with the CCCT being a collegial atmosphere for collaboration with others in the region.
- LOCATION: Reich College of Education at Appalachian State University. Located on King Street, the Reich College of Education is convenient to the heart of downtown Boone.
- FORMAT: We estimate that individual presentations will be approximately 20-25 minutes in length, however, alternative formats may be considered. Concurrent presentations will not be scheduled. Presentations will occur from approximately 9am-5pm, with a break for lunch or time on one’s own. An informal reception and/or dinner as a group may follow.
