Report

The International Journal of Asian Studies (IJAS) and Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia hosted a workshop on Hong Kong in Asia Studies on 24th September 2025.

Junior and senior scholars presented ten papers in dialogue with four discussants, covering a wide range of issues and disciplinary and methodological approaches. The morning session was devoted to Post-handover Politics and Law. The afternoon sessions focused on Hong Kong Cultural Productions, and Late-Colonial State-Society Dynamics. Each paper prompted lively discussion, creating a constructive environment to consider new approaches and connections to the broader field of Asian Studies, and to consider the path toward publication in new light.

IJAS plans to continue organising outreach and collaborative on-site workshops.
