In recent years an increasing number of disciplines have been engaged in  the study of Chinese gender and sexuality, producing fresh materials and  innovative insights. While we are gaining a better understanding of the  processes by which Chinese men and women were shaped as gendered  and sexual beings, we are also uncovering new issues and questions that  seem China-specific, and some that need interdisciplinary efforts to  unravel and solve. In this international symposium, we have invited some  of the most active scholars working in the humanities and social sciences  to reflect on current directions and challenges in the study of Chinese  gender and sexuality.
