Initiators: Vibeke Børdahl and Lucie Olivova

The Yangzhou Club is a cross-disciplinary platform and meeting ground for researchers who are interested in the old cultural town of Yangzhou, situated at the junction of the Grand Canal and the Yangzi river.

We invite scholars from the fields of Archaeology, Art History, Cultural Studies, Film History, History, Linguistics, Literature, Media Studies, Oral Traditions, Social Sciences, etc to join the Club. It is our interest in some aspect related to the town of Yangzhou that joins us in a common field.

A cross-disciplinary international workshop 'Lifestyle and Entertainment in Yangzhou' took place in Yangzhou 20-21-22 October 2005. This was the first activity of the club. Presently an anthology of the papers from the workshop is being prepared.
