Ming-Qing Studies Research Group
Introduction
The Ming-Qing Studies Research Group brings together faculty members and current and former graduate students of the Department of Chinese Studies, NUS, who do their research on all aspects of the Ming-Qing period. We also maintain contact with ex-members who have left Singapore to take up positions in other regions. With its emphasis on intellectual and cultural history, the group aims to facilitate academic discussions that fuse history, literature and philosophy. It also encourages research that uses the Ming-Qing as a pivotal point for connecting the middle period with the modern era.
In principle, members of the group will meet once a month. Activities include:
- Faculty members and graduate students sharing their current research and findings
- Talks by visiting scholars
- Seminars and international conferences
Research Areas
- History
- Religion
- Literature
- Linguistics
- Politics and other cultural and socio-economic issues of Ming-Qing China
