Founded in 1997, the Southeast Early China Roundtable (SEECR) is a group
of scholars from the south Atlantic region who specialize or maintain an interest
in the study of China, from the earliest period through
the Tang dynasty.
The purpose of the group is twofold -- first, to provide a forum for specialist
discussion of all aspects of early China studies through yearly meetings;
and second, to promote the study of early China in the Southeast by sponsoring
public non-specialist lectures. SEECR members typically host annual
meetings at their academic institutions, providing meals, accommodations and
meeting space for participants.
The current Chair of SEECR is Keith
Knapp, Westvaco Professor of National Security Studies at The Citadel,
the Military College of South Carolina.
