4th Annual Carolinas Conference on Chinese Thought (CCCT)

The Carolina Conference on Chinese Thought (CCCT) is a regionally-based site for exchange and connection among those interested in Chinese thought, broadly construed. We invite scholars and graduate students to discuss their work on Chinese thought, drawing from any disciplinary perspective. Presentations focusing on research, pedagogy, and other engagements with Chinese thought are welcome. Works-in-progress are especially encouraged, with the CCCT being a collegial atmosphere for collaboration. All things otherwise equal, proposals from scholars and graduate students based in the Carolinas and the U.S. Southeast region will be given preference for selection. Depending on the number of participants, we estimate that individual presentations will be approximately 20-25 minutes in length, however, alternative formats may be considered. Concurrent presentations will not be scheduled. Located in the Upstate region of South Carolina, the closest airport is Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP), about 20 minutes from campus. We anticipate that most attendees will be located within driving distance. We are unable to provide funding support for travel. Please submit an abstract of at least 100 words to Kevin DeLapp  by December 1, 2026. To attend without presenting, please notify Kevin DeLapp of your intent.
