The theme of the 16th forum is “The Formation of East Asian Academic Communities: Histories, Discourses, and Practices.” The forum aims to explore the formation of the East Asian academic community in the pre-modern period, its disintegration in the modern era, as well as the possibilities, pathways, and goals that could guide the reconstruction of this community in the 21st century.
