China in Asia Workshop Series

The China in Asia Workshop Series is a four-year collaborative project between the UCLA Asia Institute and the University of Washington East Asia Center to examine the economic, political, and cultural relationship of China and its neighbors from both historical and contemporary perspectives. This workshop series is funded by the U.S. Department of Education Title VI program.

2007

The first workshop, titled "Bureaucracy and the Arts of Rulership in Historical Asia and the Modern World," was held in May 2007 at UCLA. Specialists from UCLA, UW, and other southern California institutions examined the research and pedagogical implications of the themes laid out in Lost Modernities: China, Vietnam, Korea, and the Hazards of World History, by Alexander Woodside (Emeritus Professor History, University of British Columbia), who gave opening and closing comments.

2008

The second workshop will be held at the University of Washington on May 10, 2008, titled, "Maritime Asia in the Early Modern World." In light of new evidence contained in recently discovered maps and shipwrecks, this symposium considers the connections of maritime Asia to world history in the early modern era and China's relations with Southeast Asia in particular.
