The COVID Pandemic, the Ethics of Global Humanism, and the Fate of Cultural Heritage Symposium

The East Asia Research Library (EARL) is one of the co-organizers of the East Asia: The COVID Pandemic, the Ethics of Global Humanism, and the Fate of Cultural Heritage Symposium. The event, co-organized with the Department of Asian Studies and the Asian Languages and Cultures program groups of the Faculty of Arts, will mark the 25th anniversary of the Department's establishment.

Due to the pandemic, the symposium will take place online, every Friday from 26 February to 2 April 2020. The speakers will present and debate their diverse and interdisciplinary research work, which takes place within the Asian Languages and Cultures program group, as well as four international and national research projects currently being carried out in the Department of Asian Studies.

The symposium will be divided into three parts. In the first part, the speakers will present a collection, which was prepared as part of the work of the program group, which deals with the current problem of the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences in East and South Asia from various aspects and many disciplines. During the symposium, the proceedings will be published as part of the book collection of Studia Humanitatis Asiatica at the Znanstvena založba (publisher) of the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana. In the second part, they will present the work they are doing within the four research projects currently underway at the department, and in the third they will also listen to presentations of some individual research.
