This conference brings together scholars across disciplines, periods, and geography to discuss same-sex relationships in China from historical and contemporary perspectives. Questions of identity and social role have changed over time, as have the political, social, economic, and demographic context of sexual relations. In the era of globalization, queer politics and culture have become an increasingly visible dimension of civil society in greater China.
