Ongoing Research: Christianity in China

Christianity in China Seminar Series

Christianity in China Research Lab

CiC Research Lab

The establishment of the Research Lab is to facilitate multi- and cross-disciplinary research at HKU and beyond on Christianity’s interactions with various key aspects of Chinese societies during different historical periods since its arrival in China in the 7th century. It is devoted especially to exploring the relationship between Christianity and the modernisation process of China in the early modern and modern periods. It aims to build a global network of collaborators from academia and beyond to strengthen and develop the field of the history of Christianity in Chinese society. We seek to interact with scholars conducting research in architectural, art, colonial, cultural, economic, gender, quantitative, religious, social, transnational, and urban and planning history; heritage studies, and religious studies, and together contribute to a broader and deeper understanding of the roles of Christianity in the making of modern China.
