An event organized in the framework of : "Articulating Gender in Modern China : Retro-Prospective Encounters", the Inaugural Conference « China Academic Network on Gender » (CHANGE).

The inaugural conference of the China Academic Network on Gender (CHANGE) was held at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB, Belgium) on May 14-15th 2018. The event was conceived both as the network official public launch and as its first scientific manifestation. Titled Articulating Gender in Modern China : Retro-Prospective Encounters, the conference brought together in conversation established scholars and early career researchers from the humanities and social sciences whose research focuses on gender issues in modern China. As a starting point for future collaborations undertaken within the network, its roundtable and research workshops sought to uncover the main challenges, practices and methods of gender research in China to outline a state of the field CHANGE aims to promote. The network will also organise biannual themed conferences at partner universities starting in 2019.
