The WUN-CCC virtual seminars are real-time link-ups between China studies centers across the world during which outstanding scholars present research findings and engage in discussion with the audience across time zones.
The WUN-CCC virtual seminars are real-time link-ups between China studies centers across the world during which outstanding scholars present research findings and engage in discussion with the audience across time zones.
This year the seminars have been organised under the three distinct themes:
- China’s Changing Urbanities
- China Business: Green Opportunities
- Class and Class Consciousness in China
By engaging a different convenor for each theme, we have been able to bring together outstanding scholars in each field. The series allows audiences around the world to hear from leading scholars in Contemporary China studies and to engage in dialogue with one another across geographic boundaries. Each seminar includes an interactive question and answer session across all sites.
The seminars take place in room LB 237 which is equipped for video conferences. All interested students are kindly invited to join!
