The specters of Chinese and Vietnamese national identity have exerted themselves with extraordinary strength on research into the past\, shaping both the questions we ask and the boundaries we draw\, often according to implicit assumptions about what constitutes “China” or “Vietnam.” A series of panels will explore diverse facets of nationalist ideation in the Lingnan region\, beginning with 19th and 20th century conceptions before reflecting on how these modern notions inform\, constrain\, or confuse scholarly understanding of the medieval period\, broadly defined here as the 1st Millennium CE. \nModerators: Lu Kou\, Director Of Undergraduate Studies\, Assistant Professor\, East Asian Langs & Cultures; John D. Phan\, Associate Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, East Asian Langs & Cultures \nSpeakers: \n\nFrancis Allard\, Indiana University of Pennsylvania\nMark Alves\, Montgomery College\nErica Brindley\, Pennsylvania State University\nAndrew Chittick\, Eckerd College\nHugh Clark\, Ursinus College\nNGUYỄN Tuấn-Cường\, Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences\nRobert Hymes\, Columbia University\nAnna Shields\, Princeton University\nNicolas Tackett\, UC Berkeley\nKeith Taylor\, Cornell University\nYang Shao-yun\, Denison University\nYin Shoufu\, University of British Columbia\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Critical Chinese Humanities\, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Medieval and Renaissance Studies\, the Department of History\, the Linguistics Program\, and the Tang Center for Early China. \n\n\n\nContact Information\nHiba Rashid\nhr2577@columbia.edu\n\n\nREGISTER\n
