This conference examines the transformation of China's literati into modern professionals and intellectuals in the twentieth-century. The papers discuss careers and sources of knowledge in the legal, medical, academic, and technical professions. How these professions emerged and changed in contexts of state-building, revolution, socialism, markets, and globalization is a central focus. The conference also discusses ways that professionals and intellectuals engaged the state and the public, how they used their knowledge and influence, and how their work and livelihoods have been shaped by governments and other forces.
