2025 Biennial International Conference of the Consortium of Global Hakka Studies
The Consortium of Global Hakka Studies, GHAS is pleased to announce the Biennial International Conference of the Consortium of Global Hakka Studies, aimed at promoting research on global Hakka communities and ethnic research, and fostering academic exchange and conversation. The theme of this year’s conference is “Ethnic Revitalization and Sustainable Development: The Key Role of Global Hakka.” From the perspective of Global Hakka, not from a single regional or centralized standpoint, the conference focuses on how the local, regional, and international interactions emerging from the global movement of the Hakka and other ethnic groups can contribute to the sustainable development of culture, language, economy, and society of the Hakka and other ethnic groups all over the world. This is in response to the rapid processes of globalization and modernization, which challenge the traditional ways of life, cultural identity, and languages of ethnic groups.
