This workshop, hosted by Associate Professor Shan Gao (Soochow University), aims at examining why American transcendentalism and Chinese religions such as Confucianism, Daoism and Zen Buddhism all find spirituality in nature, and how their interpretation of nature generates great difference on people’s aesthetic perception of agricultural land, gardens and wilderness.

The deadline for submissions is September 30, 2022.

The workshop will take place on October 24, 2022.
