CALL FOR PAPERS: T’ANG STUDIES: THE NEXT TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
The T‘ang Studies Society and the University at Albany will co-sponsor
an international conference on T‘ang Studies: The Next Twenty-five
Years to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Society’s founding.
The conference will be held at the University’s campus in Albany, NY
May 8-9, 2009. The goal of the conference is to assess the current
state of T‘ang studies and to encourage new avenues of research and
collaboration among scholars of medieval China. The Society is
therefore soliciting paper proposals concerning the following themes:
(1) T‘ang China and the World; (2) Historical Transitions and the T‘ang
(both from Six Dynasties to T‘ang and from T‘ang to Sung); (3) Religion
in the T‘ang; (4) T‘ang Literature; (5) T‘ang China in Intellectual
History; (6) T‘ang material culture (including archaeology, art
history, history of science, and technology). Paper proposals should
contain the author’s name, institutional affiliation, address, and a
250 word abstract of the paper. Please send proposals to the chair of
the organizing committee: Anthony DeBlasi, Department of East Asian
Studies, Humanities 210, University at Albany, 1400 Washington Avenue,
Albany, NY 12222 or deblasi(a)albany.edu by November 1, 2008. The
committee also welcomes proposals for complete panels, with abstracts
for each paper. Limited funding is available to cover some of the costs
for scholars presenting papers. Please note: one must be a member of
(or join) the Tang Studies Society to deliver a paper at the
conference. Non-members are welcome to register for and attend the
conference.
