*FROM*: Chinese University of Hong Kong
*TOPIC*: Family Transitions, Ageing, and Social Security in China
5-6 December 2013
Chinese University of Hong Kong
The Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Worldwide Universities
Network are pleased to announce the call for papers for the Inaugural
WUN Global China Conference Family Transitions, Ageing, and Social
Security in China.
Since its reform and open-door policy, China has witnessed not only
phenomenal economic growth but also significant social and cultural
transformations. To understand Chinas present and more importantly its
future, it is important to have a deeper insight of the interconnections
of family transitions, ageing, and social security in various
dimensions, including the social science and humanistic perspectives,
and mechanisms underlying these changes. The conference aims to examine
the key issues arising from family transition, ageing and social
security in China, and to combine the strengths and expertise of leading
China scholars from around the world so as to provide a unique global
perspective on Chinas social and cultural transformations.
The deadline for submission is 1 September 2013 at 5:00pm (HK time), and
selected papers will be informed around mid-September 2013. *
