   Non-compulsory but strongly recommended for Humanities faculty members who publish in English.

2. 执行主席征集文章并召集会议。会议的频率基于征集文章的情况灵活掌握。理想中每三到四周开一次会议。

   Acting  Chair will collect and select five papers in advance and convene the  meetings. Frequency of the meetings depends on how many proposals we  collect. Ideally, the meetings will take place every three weeks or per  month.
