The International Society for the Study of Chinese Overseas (ISSCO) will be hosting its 9^th International Conference at the Sheraton Hotel in Richmond. Scholars on this subject from around the world will be presenting their latest works at keynote plenaries and at over 60 panels on many aspects of the Chinese diaspora. This conference is only the second time ISSCO is holding its conference in North America since its inaugural meeting in San Francisco in 1992.

In partnership with the University of British Columbia, PCHC-MoM Society will recruit and train a team of volunteers to assist at the conference. If you are interested in becoming a part of this team, please confirm your availability as soon as possible. Volunteers will have a chance to attend some sessions during the conference using complimentary passes made available to PCHC-MoM Society.
