Guangqi Classics Lecture and Seminar Series
光启古典学术月
Aiming at promoting Classical Studies in China and fostering trans-lingual and trans-cultural conversations about Western Classics, the Guangqi Classics Series invites Classics scholars from around the world to share their cutting-edge research, provide master classes, and organize international conferences and workshops on diverse aspects of the ancient world.
The Series is generously supported by Shanghai "1000" Plan, Shanghai Normal University, and the Classics Department of Dickinson College. The main host for the Guangqi Classics Series is Shanghai Normal University, but it has many collaborative partners around the country.
The main organizers are Professor Heng Chen 陈恒 and Professor Jinyu Liu 刘津瑜.
The College of Humanities and Communication of Shanghai Normal University provided excellent administrative support to the organization of the first three Seasons (2015-2017) of the Guangqi Classics Lecture and Seminar Series, since it was launched in 2015. In 2018, the Series started to be managed by the Guangqi International Center for Scholars (of Shanghai Normal University), which was formally established in 2017 with its own staff and facilities.
