Call for Papers - Dragon Tails conference 2013
Theme: Tradition and modernity amongst overseas Chinese

Location: University of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia
Conference Date: Saturday 6 July to Monday 8 July 2013
Convenors: Julia Martínez, Jason Lim and Paul Macgregor

Deadline for submission of paper proposals: 28 February 2013

Following on from the success of the Dragon Tails conferences at Ballarat,
Victoria, Australia, in 2009 and the Chinese Museum in Melbourne in 2011,
we will be holding the third Dragon Tails conference at the University of
Wollongong in New South Wales. Dragon Tails 2013 is timed to coincide with
the Australian Historical Association conference also being held at
Wollongong, from 8 to 12 July 2013.

Dragon Tails 2013 will explore the twin forces of tradition and modernity,
examining cultural maintenance and evolution amongst overseas Chinese.
Diverse aspects of tradition and modernity could be considered through
papers on religion, family values, community organisation, business and
trade activities, gender roles, labour relations, political action, the
arts and architecture. We encourage papers which take an Australian or
local focus, as well as papers on the global Chinese diaspora. We welcome
the attendance and participation of family historians.

Professor Henry Yu from University of British Columbia, Canada, will be the
keynote speaker.
