About the Symposium:
The 2023 International Symposium on Global Chinese Philanthropy (GCP) aims to disseminate empirical research findings for advancing the public awareness and understanding of philanthropic giving and volunteerism by people of Chinese descent in the United States, China, Chinese Diaspora, and other parts of the world. The symposium will explore how global Chinese philanthropy, charity, and volunteerism contribute to making the world a better place to live, especially as the world is confronted by challenges and impacts wrought by the global pandemic and its aftermath.
We are seeking submissions of research articles or reports that are based on rigorous analysis of empirical data or best practices in the field of GCP. We encourage theoretical and methodological diversity from interdisciplinary perspectives, including quantitative and qualitative studies, as well as research that takes a multi-level approach connecting GCP with broader historical, political, economic, social, cultural, religious, and environmental issues of a society. We welcome submissions from senior and junior scholars, graduate students, foundation professionals, and community practitioners to share novel ideas, empirical research findings, best practices, and innovative methodologies and strategies that can be translated into actionable initiatives and policy recommendations. Please note that full papers or abstracts may be submitted bilingually, in either English or Chinese.
Themes that are of particular interest include:
- Emergent issues pertaining to areas of philanthropic giving, charity, and volunteerism, e.g., COVID-19 global pandemic and other disaster relief, poverty alleviation, education, health, youth development, elderly care, environment sustainability, etc., especially how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the ways of giving and philanthropic practices
- Comparative studies of philanthropy in China and Chinese diasporic communities around the world
- Comparative studies of Chinese philanthropy and Western philanthropy
- The transformation of Chinese diasporic organizations and changing relations with ancestral hometowns in China pertaining to philanthropy
- Family wealth transfer and philanthropic practices across generations
- Civil society development, NGOs and foundations
- Diasporic Chinese entrepreneurship and philanthropy
- Corporate social responsibility
