CALL FOR PAPERS
INTRODUCTION OF THEME
The conference will explore the theme of, “Chinese Overseas in a Changing World: Global Networks, Local Realities”.
The global diasporic experiences of Chinese overseas communities, spanning their transitions from migrant groups to citizens of their respective countries and subsequent patterns of remigration, have provided rich examples of interconnected global networks. The rise of China and the influx of new migrants in recent decades have further diversified and enriched these experiences. However, as these communities settled into various localities across different historical and cultural contexts, the processes of localization led to distinct and varied trajectories.
This conference will explore the dynamic interplay between global networks and local realities, examining how Chinese overseas communities have navigated transnational connections while adapting to the unique socio-political and cultural landscapes of their host societies.

主题简介
本届研讨会主题为“世界变局中的华人：全球网络与在地现实”。
华人群体在全球的散居经历，从移民群体逐渐发展为所在国公民，再到随后出现的再移民模式，展现了全球网络相互连接的丰富实例。近年来，随着中国的崛起以及新移民的大量涌入，这些经历进一步多样化并得到了深化。然而，当这些群体在不同历史与文化背景的地区定居时，本地化过程又引发了多样化且独特的发展轨迹。
