Following the success of the previous three gatherings of Middle Period scholars in 2014 at Harvard, 2017 at Leiden, and 2023 at Yale, the conference organizing committee is very pleased to announce that City University of Hong Kong will host the Fourth Middle Period China Humanities Conference.
The conference will take place in late May or early June of 2026, maintaining the regular three-year interval of this conference series. The conference welcomes papers from all disciplines in the humanities (such as history, art history, literature, religious studies, and geography) that deal with China between 220 and 1600. The conference organizing committee is especially interested in papers that address larger themes or use experimental approaches. To take full advantage of the gathering of scholars from different disciplines specializing in different dynastic periods, the committee plans to prioritize papers that discuss more than one dynastic period, study China in a broader geographical context, or use an interdisciplinary methodology.
