About This Workshop:
The 14th Annual Meeting of the Chinese Medieval Studies Workshop will be held on Saturday, May 6, 2023. This workshop, founded and organized by Professor Wendy Swartz and funded by the Chiang Ching-kuo (CCK) Foundation, is a major academic forum for the exchange of ideas and the advancement of scholarship. Distinguished scholars from across the United States working on medieval Chinese literature, history, thought, and visual culture, have been meeting annually in this forum since 2005 to discuss their current research. Ground-breaking research and methodology first presented at these workshops have found their way into monograph books and journal articles.
