> The Department of History and the Journalism and Media Studies Centre of
> the University of Hong Kong are co-sponsoring an international workshop on
> China, the Politics of Memory, and World War II. It will be held at the
> University of Hong Kong from 3-5 April 2013, to coincide with the first
> visit of Prof. Odd Arne Westad of LSE, Visiting Research Professor in the
> Department of History, 2013-2016. In the second decade of the twenty-first
> century, the memory of World War II is still hotly contested in China and
> Asia. The origins of the war, the Nanjing Massacre, comfort women,
> Japanese wartime behavior in Asia, the use of atomic weapons,
> collaboration, the status of the Diaoyu/Senkaku islands, US policies in
> Asia, the relationship of the war to colonialism, and the impact of the
> war upon political forces within China, all remain contentious topics. The
> organizers encourage complete panels or papers that deal with all aspects
> of memories of World War II and Asia, whether historical, literary,
> cultural, social, and economic. Panels and papers with a comparative
> dimension involving other theaters of the war are also encouraged.
