Historical Society for Twentieth Century China Biannual Conference "Chinese Nation, Chinese State, 1850-2000" Singapore June 26-28, 2006 Opening Ceremony and address by Professor Wang Gungwu  June 26, 9:00  LT 10  Panel discussions held in AS1 03-01 and AS1 03-04 The historical emergence of China as a nation-state has built upon certain discourses of self and nation, while ignoring or even obscuring others. This conference will examine the many changing and competing perceptions of and aspirations for China and its place in the world, and how these have shaped political, social and economic developments of the past century and a half. Of particular interest are the ideas and activities of non-traditional political actors, such as ordinary individuals, professional or native place associations, chambers of commerce, or literary societies. This conference is the biannual meeting of the Historical Society for 20th Century China (HSTCC), and is sponsored by a large grant from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FASS), and smaller grants from the East Asian Institute (EAI) and Asia Research Institute (ARI).  For more information, please follow the links to the left.
