International Academic Conference “Global History from Macau, China”
As a crucial nexus of interaction between East and West, Macau holds a distinctive position in the long process of globalization. Exploring Macau’s connections with countries and regions across the world – in areas such as commerce and trade, culture and arts, religion, and population movements – not only deepens the theoretical and historical understanding of Sino-Western exchanges, but also advances localized approaches to global-history research that take Macau as a critical vantage point. Such work helps build an academic bridge between area studies and global history. To this end, the Department of History at the University of Macau will host the academic conference “Global History from Macau,” with a particular focus on the circulation of people, goods, and knowledge. Relevant details are as follows:
I. Theme
Global History from Macau
II. Suggested Topics
- Logics and practices of imperial governance;
- Commerce, migration, and early modern globalization: comparative perspectives on Macau and other regions;
- Multicultural interactions in Macau’s history and the city’s role in global historical processes;
- Historical interactions between Macau and neighboring regions and their contemporary implications;
- Applying area-studies methodologies to Macau-centered research;
- Preservation, transmission, and interpretation of Macau’s cultural heritage in the context of civilizational exchange;
- Other theoretical or empirical topics related to area studies, global history, or memory studies.
