Boundaries and Bonds: An International Conference on Chinese Diaspora

2 – 3 October
Free, online

For centuries, the Chinese diaspora has traversed oceans and continents, crossing political and social boundaries. Over myriads of migration trajectories, settlement adaptations, and generational variations,  overseas Chinese have constantly reconfigured their subjectivities as a group, locally, regionally, and globally. This bilingual international conference, in physical and virtual forms, will bring scholars together to re-visit, re-examine, and re-conceptualise the boundaries and bonds of the Chinese diaspora in various realms and aspects.
