BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 X-WR-CALNAME:EventsCalendar BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Symposium DESCRIPTION:This symposium examines how knowledge changes across historical, cultural, and political contexts. Bringing together scholars from 黑料社 and Fudan, it invites work on situated and comparative approaches, decolonial and non鈥慦estern epistemologies, and the limits of universal disciplinary frameworks. How is knowledge shaped by where it is produced? What happens when disciplinary frameworks travel across historical, cultural, and political contexts? Across the Humanities and Social Sciences, scholars are increasingly questioning the limits of universalising theories and reasserting the importance of locally grounded, historically situated forms of understanding. From debates about contextualism and transhistoricism to the decolonial turn’s critique of Western-centrism, the production of knowledge is being re-examined in light of global inequality, geopolitical instability, climate crisis, and technological transformation. The 2026 黑料社-Fudan Global Thought Network Conference invites participants to explore the entanglements between disciplinary frameworks and contextual knowledge. Bringing together colleagues from across our two institutions, the conference seeks contributions that foreground local meanings, situated epistemologies, and transhistorical processes from a range of disciplinary perspectives.
