The Hong Kong Studies Association invites papers for its conference Hong Kong 25 Years After the Handover: Changes, Trends, and Reflections on 10-11 June 2022 at Westminster University and the University of Surrey.

We invite papers on Hong Kong from the Arts and Humanities, Social Science and Law with a focus on diasporas, new theoretical lenses, and creativity in Hong Kong Studies.

Please send a 150-word abstract to conference.hksa@gmail.com by 28 March 2022.

This year’s theme is “Hong Kong Studies as Praxis” 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.

Scholars and graduate students at any stage of their professional careers and at any local or overseas university are welcome to submit paper abstracts (max. 250 words each) or panel abstracts (max. 350 words each). The submitted abstracts will then be reviewed and review decisions will be made in March-April 2022.
