The Chinese Studies Graduate Summer School (CSGSS) is a week-long program of intensive research activities designed to bring together PhD and research masters students from around Australia.
The broad goals for the week are to provide a forum for building networks among postgraduate scholars through the exchange of knowledge and experiences surrounding the study of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. The program also aims to provide students around Australia with the opportunity to use the rich and diverse Chinese-language resources held at the ANU and the Australian National Library. The CSGSS coincides with ANU's Asia-Pacific week during which a range of evening social and cultural activities will be held.
Hosts for the program will comprise experienced Chinese Studies researchers and scholars drawn from among the ANU's staff. ANU has over 40 Chinese specialists across a diverse range of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences on its academic staff.
Discussion and workshop leaders will include: Dr Børge Bakken, Professor Geremie Barmé, Dr Louise Edwards, Dr Tamara Jacka, Dr Andrew Kipnis, Professor Kam Louie, Dr Kathryn Morton, Dr Benjamin Penny, Dr Luigi Tomba, Dr Peter Van Ness and Professor Jon Unger. Chinese-language specialist staff from the ANU and ANL libraries Renata Osborne and Wan Wong will also lead sessions.
