Program Unit Online Meeting 2024

Confucian Traditions Unit

Call for Proposals

We welcome full panel proposals, as well as individual paper submissions, on any theme related to the Confucian traditions.

Statement of Purpose

The Unit is the only global scholarly organization in the English-speaking world dedicated exclusively to Confucianism. It studies the diverse traditions linked to Confucius, his precursors, and followers, collectively referred to as "Ru." This includes exploring intersections between Confucian thought and practices with other traditions. Embracing a variety of approaches — philosophical, historical, literary, sociological and comparative — the Unit operates beyond the confines of any single country or academic discipline.
