First Call for Papers for
The Sixth Biennial International Conference on Malaysian Chinese Studies 2023

 

1. Preamble

     Centre for Malaysian Chinese Studies started organising the Biennial International Conference on Malaysian Chinese Studies back in 2012, and the year 2023 will see it taking place for the sixth time. Previous conferences had garnered much attention and participation from the international academia. The last two were organised with Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou and National Taiwan Normal University respectively. The post-conference proceedings from the conferences have been met with wide praise.  
   
     As the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the conference this year will return to in-person format and will be jointly organised with major academic institutes, with the hope of providing local and foreign academics with a comprehensive and expansive platform for academic exchange.
   
     With that in mind, the conference this year is placing special emphasis on recent advances, trends, methods and the exploration of new fields in Malaysian Chinese studies and Overseas Chinese studies. Research institutes and academics are welcome to form panels or contribute individual papers.
