Collaborative Learning Events This Week
Works in Progress series
Dear all,
We are happy to announce a new call for applications for the Spring season of the “Works in Progress” series, a part of the 四海为学 “Collaborative Learning” Project. This series aims to provide an academic forum for graduate students and early career scholars engaged in Chinese or comparative philosophy to share and improve upon their work with peers in conference-style panel presentations. Each session features a chairperson, 2-3 presenters, commentators, and an audience of participants who will provide constructive feedback on content, structure, or presentation style. It welcomes projects at any stage of development, including articles for presentation, dissertation chapters, or conference presentations, and aims to accommodate the needs of each presenter. Events will be held once a month.
