Southeastern Early China Roundtable 2005
CALL FOR PAPERS
Founded in 1997, the Southeastern Early China Roundtable (SEECR) is a group of scholars from the south Atlantic region who specialize or maintain an interest in the study of China, from the earliest period through the Tang dynasty. The purpose of the group is twofold -- first, to provide a forum for specialist discussion of all aspects of early China studies through yearly meetings; and second, to promote the study of early China in the Southeast by sponsoring public non-specialist lectures. (See http://www.berea.edu/faculty/richeyj/seecr.html for more information about SEECR.)
All scholars engaged in the study of early China are hereby encouraged to submit proposals for papers and presentations at the 2005 SEECR meeting, which will take place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from the evening of Friday, November 4 through the afternoon of Sunday, November 6. The program will commence with a public lecture by Professor E. Bruce Brooks of the University of Massachusetts and the Warring States Project (http://www.umass.edu/wsp/) entitled “Revealing China’s First Historian,” which will describe new research by him and others on the authorship of the Shiji Žj‹L.
Funding arrangements for the conference are not yet complete; all participants, however, will have at least some of their expenses for lodging and meals covered, and an attempt will be made to cover all lodging expenses.
Proposals in any discipline concerning early China through the Tang dynasty will be welcomed. Prospective participants are in particular encouraged (but by no means required) to submit proposals concerning pedagogical issues, topics, or skills related to early China. All proposals should be sent by e-mail to the 2005 SEECR meeting host, Professor Eric Henry, at either ehenry@email.unc.edu by September 31, 2005.
