In conjunction with other commemorative events, the conference will welcome scholars and representatives of government, the private sector and NGOs that have played an active role in this relationship. Conference participants will be drawn from the University of Regina, other Canadian institutions and their Chinese counterparts. Applications from diverse disciplines including history, sociology, political science, economics, international studies, education, business administration and religious studies are encouraged. Participation is also invited from graduate students. It is hoped the results of the conference will be disseminated in at least one edited work to be published.
Depending on the result of external funding applications, some support for participants' costs may be available.
If interested, please send a paper title and a short one-paragraph description by March 31, 2011 to canada.china@uregina.ca.
