Boundaries and Bonds:
An International Conference on Chinese Diaspora

界线与连线: 华侨华人研究国际学术研讨会

For centuries, the Chinese diaspora has traversed oceans and continents, crossing political and social boundaries. Over myriads of migration trajectories, settlement adaptations, and generational variations, overseas Chinese have constantly reconfigured their subjectivities as a group, locally, regionally, and globally. This bilingual international conference, in physical and virtual forms, will bring scholars together to re-visit, re-examine, and re-conceptualise the boundaries and bonds of the Chinese diaspora in various realms and aspects.

若干个世纪以来，华人移民飘洋过海，跨越政治和社会的界线，不断迁徙。随着他们的迁徙轨迹、定居融合以及世代变迁，华人移民不断地在社群、在地、区域以及全球范围内重构其主体性。本次会议以“界线与连线”为主题，诚邀各国学者重新审视和定义华侨华人在各区域及各层面的界线与连线。
