Deadline for Submission: May 20, 2022
The Covid-19 Pandemic disrupted so much of our professional and personal lives. The Pandemic Era has also brought with it changed political landscapes in Hong Kong and China that threaten to further disrupt and impede our research, collaborations with colleagues in China, and the ability to understand China in context.
We ask you to accept one commitment as a 2022 conference participant: write a sole-authored or co-authored brief (about 1,500 words) that considers these new developments (Covid Era travel restrictions, changes to China’s legal framework, such as the National Security Law or the Data Security Law, new modes of remote data collection or digital fieldwork, etc) and recommends strategies to mitigate new restrictions or, more optimistically, details how changing access can still provide pathways to studying China and getting China right.
Please upload your essay (and brief bio) HERE by May 20th, 2022. If your essay is co-authored, only one author needs to submit the form.
