Objectives of the Seminar The
Early China Seminar is an inter-university forum for the study of early
Chinese civilization from the Neolithic period to the end of the Han Dynasty
(A.D. 220). The seminar offers a multidisciplinary program, bringing together
scholars from all fields related to early China—history, archaeology, art
history, literature and language, religion and philosophy. The seminar aims
at stimulating creative new insight and analysis based especially on recently
discovered archaeological and textual materials and at promoting
communications between scholars in the East Coast region and those outside of
the region. We meet five times a year and each meeting futures two
presentations. In the past four years, scholars from more than 15
institutions on the East Coast attended the seminar and more than 20 scholars
from other regions and overseas were invited to present papers. The seminar
is administered through Columbia University Seminars’ Office and co-sponsored
by the CCK Inter-University Center for Sinology at Harvard University. It is
held regularly in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures,
Columbia University, New York. Writing and Literacy in
