“Leading Forum for College Students” is an international academic platform for college students in their academic apprenticeship in the field of literary studies to learn about theory and methodology of ethical literary criticism, to expand their horizons and cultivate their academic interests with an international and interdisciplinary vision. In pursuit of progress, excellence, innovation and leadership, the forum focuses on the theory and practice of ethical literary criticism and interdisciplinary studies, in particular the fundamental theories, core concepts, and cutting-edge issues in ethical literary criticism, as to strengthen effective academic exchanges and mutual learning for college students.

“Zijingang Global Forum on Interdisciplinary Studies” is named after Zijingang Campus, the main campus of Zhejiang University. It aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform for scholars engaged in humanities at home and abroad, especially those who are devoted to literary studies, to facilitate theoretical advancement, methodological innovation, intellectual promotion, and information exchange. As a foundational part of Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies of World Literature, “Zijingang International Forum on Interdisciplinary Studies” launches a series of academic activities and keeps its participants informed about current scholarship in the field. To be more specific, these activities unfold in four major forums: “Leading Lecture Series on Frontier Studies,” “Leading Scholarship Exhibition,” “Leading Forum on Interdisciplinary Studies for Youth Talents,” and “Leading Forum for College Students.”

“Leading Forum for College Students” is Zhejiang University’s overarching attempt to innovate and reform the course design of undergraduate program carried out by School of International Studies. In order to deepen students’ insights into moral virtues, sharpen their foundational research and writing skills, and heighten students’ awareness of their cultural background, the Forum works hand in hand with the undergraduate program and widens its scope of discussion to include both Chinese and Western classics. Giving consideration to both the innovation of course design and the cultivation of students’ moral character and creative skills, the Forum undertakes to accelerate a reformation in undergraduate education.
