Studying 'global' China is challenging. For researchers trained in sinology, studying China's global entanglements demands new methodological approaches. For those coming from social science backgrounds, language barriers and limited historical and cultural knowledge present problems in researching China's global influence. In addition, scholars face both tightening restrictions in the PRC as well as heated discussions on the risks and benefits of cooperation in Western countries. The 'Studying Global China' workshop provides a platform to explore these issues, discuss research approaches, share challenges when conducting fieldwork, and learn about new tools for data analysis.
Please find the full program here.
Are you about to finish your post-doc project or just started your PhD? An early stage China studies researcher or an up-and-coming social scientist engaged with some dimension of 'global' China? Meet other scholars over snacks and coffee, listen to inspiring lectures on contemporary issues, and learn from & about each other: Who is working on what? What are your experiences with fieldwork? How can you translate your academic research into policy advice? Join us at the HU Berlin for two days of debates and networking!
Participation is open to all PhD students, post-docs, and other interested Berlin-based scholars. M.A./M.Sc. students may also participate (depending on capacity). Registration is possible until Oct 18, 2024.
