Warring States Project News

The big news of the Project is its daily progress in clarifying the Warring States text situation. Such gradual progress is not quite the kind of event one can plan to attend. Its moments of intellectual breakthrough are not exactly what one puts in the newspaper. They are not listed on this page either.

Here, instead, are some relatively public events for the year 2008.
