The Young Scholars Symposium on “Asia and the World” is organized by the Center for Global Asia and the Global Perspectives on Society program of NYU Shanghai, and the Asia Research Center of Fudan University. It brings together doctoral and postdoctoral fellows at NYU Shanghai and other universities in China to share insights into issues pertaining to Asia in a global context. This is the fifth year of the symposium and it is open to scholars working on Asia-related topics, especially those who explore transregional connections, disconnections, and comparisons.

The symposium welcomes scholars from a range of disciplines as well as those engaged in interdisciplinary studies. Participants can focus on topics on history, art, literature, society, archaeology, anthropology, and cultural studies, and examine and expand the ever-changing intellectual boundaries of academic scholarship on Asia and the broader world from different temporal perspectives. We will also have participants, young scholars as well as faculty members, from Peking University, Fudan University and Zhejiang University, who will share their research on the study of Asia.
