Workshop: Researching Chinese Legal History in Europe: The State of the Field
Various speakers
Registration begins at 10am
Venue: Room G3, SOAS, University of London, Thornhaugh Street, Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG
Abstract
For centuries, scholars based in Europe have examined China’s past in an attempt to understand the various processes influencing the development and evolution of Chinese legal tradition(s). This line of research continues in Europe today, yet given the diversity of institutions and disciplines in which researchers work, as well as the field-specific publications in which they publish, the current state of the field of Chinese legal studies in Europe remains under specified.
Through presentations of current work and roundtable discussions, we hope to establish a community of scholars actively engaging China’s legal past, and also to map out future avenues of research and multi-institutional collaboration.
