Case study one · Javier Cha

Rethinking Neo-Confucian lineages and literary prestige

How Korean schools and prestigious practices came to be organized, remembered, and canonized in their present form.

Case study two · Yan Hon Michael Chung

Manchu–Sinitic bilingualism

Transcription, translation, and comparative analysis of digitized Manchu–Chinese texts at scale in the Qing (1644–1911).
