Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre is organising its second international conference this October. Bringing together scholars from Singapore and overseas, the session will deepen discourse on the Chinese diaspora.
The Centre will also be inviting new applications for its Chinese Arts and Culture Research Grant and Publication Grant. The application period is from 1 October to 31 December 2021.
Boundaries and Bonds: An International Conference on Chinese Diaspora gathers professors, researchers, and scholars from universities in Singapore, Malaysia, China, Australia, Brazil, and the United Kingdom to share their research on the Chinese diaspora.
For centuries, the Chinese have traversed oceans and continents, crossing political and social boundaries. Over myriads of migration trajectories, settlement adaptations, and generation variations, they have constantly reconfigured their subjectivities as a group; locally, regionally, and globally. This bilingual international conference will gather scholars to revisit, re-examine, and re-conceptualise the boundaries and bonds of different aspects of the Chinese diaspora.
This conference is jointly organised by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, Chinese Heritage Centre, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and School of Social Sciences (NTU).
The conference is bilingual. Simultaneous interpretation will be provided.
Date: 2-3 October 2021
Time: 9:00 am
Format: Conference will be held entirely online
Members of the public are welcomed to register to attend the free conference online via Zoom here by 1 Oct 2021.
Please refer to Annex for Conference Programme and List of Speakers

In a globalising world, CHC functions as a three-in-one institution, serving as a research centre, a library, and a museum. Its work is crucial in three ways:
A research-intensive public university, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore has 33,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students in the colleges of Engineering, Business, Science, and Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, and it’s Graduate College.
