An International Symposium in Memory of S. W. Williams
Relations between East Asia and the United States in the 19th Century

Samuel Wells Williams (1812 – 1884) is an important figure in the relations between East Asia and the United States in the 19th century. He is one of the earliest missionaries to China, and the first university professor of sinology in US. He is also an eye-witness to the opening of Japan and a promoter of Protestant missions in Japan. He worked in Canton, Macau, Beijing and Japan for 43 years, and was one of the initiators of American rational diplomacy during the Tongzhi and Guangxu reign periods. In memory of his 200th birth anniversary, we cordially invite your active participation in this international symposium, which aims to re-examine the life and work of S. W. Williams and the relations between East Asia and US in the modern era.
