2026 Berkeley-Stanford Graduate Student Conference in Modern Chinese Humanities
2111 Bancroft Way, 5th Floor, Berkeley, CA 94720
IEAS CONFERENCE ROOM
Initiated in 2010, the annual Berkeley-Stanford Graduate Student Conference in Modern Chinese Humanities brings together current graduate students from across the U.S. and around the world to present innovative research on any aspect of modern Chinese cultural production in the humanistic disciplines.
The conference provides a window into current research in Chinese studies, and serves as a platform for fostering interaction among budding scholars of geographically disparate institutions, facilitating their exchange of ideas and interests. Specifically, the organizing committee hopes that this conference will encourage interdisciplinary scholarship within and between literary and cultural studies, cultural history, art history, film and media studies, musicology and sound studies, as well as the interpretative social sciences.
Keynote Speaker:
Ying Qian, East Languages and Cultures, Columbia University
Alumni Keynote:
Julia Keblinska, Film & Screen Studies, University of Cambridge
The conference is co-sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies and will be held at UC Berkeley this year.
