Largely made up of historians and anthropologists, the South China team has spent more than fifteen years conducting fieldwork together in Guangdong and Fujian. The team has pursued four broad research topics:
The activities have nurtured a critical mass of young teachers and advanced graduate students who are ready to enrich existing paradigms with independent work outside of South China. Their “northern expedition” includes sites in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Hebei, Henan and Guizhou. They coordinate with the Institute’s advanced summer workshops to share their interdisciplinary agenda with colleagues in Beijing and Shanghai. They have also joined forces with colleagues in Taiwan to conduct site visits in the Hakka regions of Meizhou, Chaozhou and Dabu. In the summer of 2005, a workshop, called the “China-Hong Kong-Taiwan Postgraduate Symposium on Ethnic Groups and Cultural Changes,” was organized on the new Sun Yat-sen University campus in Zhuhai, during which graduate students from Hong Kong, China and Taiwan debated many issues.
