One more useful starter pack from "International Society for Chinese Law and Society" and
Its related "List" of experts in Chinese law & history:

go.bsky.app/4uAxhFw

I created a starter pack for sociologists studying China: go.bsky.app/NetJdDm. We study China’s labor, gender, family, inequality, organizations, education, professions, media, civil society, protests, immigration, as well as politics and history.
Let me know if you want to be added (or removed).

CFP: 2025 Law, Culture, and the Humanities Conference, G'town Univ, June 17-18 / deadline for submissions: Jan 31, 2025 lawculturehumanities.com/event/2025-t... / @design-law.bsky.social @sarahlawsky.bsky.social @lawprofblawg.bsky.social @lawandlitprof.bsky.social @lawprofjones.bsky.social

ISCLH has become one of the few most respected and influential professional associations for international scholars of Chinese law and history (broadly defined) and its members have won a series of prestigious book awards from major academic associations since its founding in 2014.

Repost (replacing the previous pack due to technical issue). You're welcome to join this more focused group of international scholars working on late imperial China. Please feel free to share and reply if you're interested, and add hashtag #lateimperialchina to future posts.

Pleased to share a Chinese anthology of my research articles that will be published this month. With 14 chapters, it includes most of my research articles over the last fifteen years outside the monographs. It took 4 years for retranslating/editing/revising/proofreading.

I could be wrong, but I haven't found any group for scholars of comparative/global legal studies/history (indeed, even for legal scholars/historians). This has been a big part of my research interest, so I have added one more choice if there is any other starter pack already. go.bsky.app/3UAVSRu
