CHRISTIANITY IN MODERN ASIA CONFERENCE SPONSORED
BY CLAREMONT McKENNA COLLEGE
 

CLAREMONT, CALIF. ­ Claremont McKenna College¹s Department of History is
sponsoring a two-day academic conference focused on the incorporation of
Christianity by local areas in Korea, China, Japan, and Taiwan. ³Negotiating
the Global with the Local: Translating Christianity in Modern East Asia² is
scheduled for February 26-27 and will feature panels and discussions with
distinguished scholars from across the disciplines, including history,
religious studies, sociology, and geography.
 
The conference will examine how Christian ideas, practices, and symbols were
incorporated into the lives of East Asian people and how these
interpretations impacted ³changes in the modern political, cultural, and
economic elements of these countries.² Participants also will discuss
transnational processes, such as how Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese and
Japanese people ³exported² Christianity back to other parts of the world,
including the West, through an investigation of Asian American Christian
movements. Ultimately, this conference hopes to introduce new methodologies
as to how to study the relationship between Christianity and Modernity in
East Asia.
 
Conference participants include distinguished scholars from Claremont
McKenna College; the University of California, Los Angeles; Northwestern
University; the University of Pennsylvania; Claremont Graduate University;
Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea; Sophia University, Tokyo, Japan; and
Université de Montréal to name a few.
