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. Please read on for details!
