Call for Submissions – Annual Conference 2023

We are pleased to invite scholars working in Hong Kong Studies to submit proposals for paper or panel presentations at the Society for Hong Kong Studies Annual Conference 2023, to be held 16 – 17 June 2023 in Hong Kong.

The deadline for submission is 14 March 2023.

Informality in Hong Kong

This year’s theme is “Informality in Hong Kong” which we hope will stimulate collective and multi-disciplinary reflections on Hong Kong Studies as a process in the making during a time of uncertainty. We welcome submissions from all disciplines.

As the only academic association promoting Hong Kong Studies that is inter-institutional and interdisciplinary, the SHKS offers a unique platform for scholarly exchanges and professional community formations. Our annual meetings feature paper presentations, author-meets-critic sessions, keynote addresses, and roundtable discussions on topics related to Hong Kong Studies.

Eligibility: Scholars, including graduate students and advanced undergraduate students, at any local or overseas university are welcome to submit panel abstracts (max. 350 words each) or paper abstracts (max. 250 words each). This year, priority will be given to panel abstracts.

Deadline for submission is 14 March, 2023. Authors and panel organizers whose abstracts are selected will be notified by 14 April 2023.

Each submission should include your full name, affiliation, email address, paper title, abstract, keywords, and a short biography. If you are submitting a panel abstract, please include all of the above information for each panellist.

With permission from authors, papers presented at the Annual Meeting will be archived on the SHKS website.

Conference registration fee: free for SHKS members; $300 for non-members
