The Carolina Conference on Chinese Thought (CCCT) invites scholars and graduate students to 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. All things otherwise equal, proposals from scholars and graduate students based in the Carolinas and the U.S. Southeast region will be given preference for selection.
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.

airports (TRI, AVL, GSO, and CLT) are 90-120 minutes from Boone. We
anticipate that most attendees will be located within driving distance. We cannot
provide funding support for travel.
