Conferences
WSWG

The Warring States Working Group (WSWG) consists of the scholars with whom at any moment the Project is in regular communication. WSWG conferences were held semiannually from October 1993 to October 2000, and at less regular intervals from 2000 onward.

Support was received from the AAS Council on China and Inner Asia for three WSWG conferences held between 1994 and 1996. Institutional sponsors for single Conferences have included the University of North Carolina (October 1995), New York University (May 1999), Lehigh University (October 1999), and Leiden University with the International Institute for Asian Studies and the Center for Nonwestern Studies as joint sponsors (September 2003). The assistance of all is gratefully acknowledged.

Those attending conferences may usefully consult our General Information page, plus our specific Travel Instructions.
