Dear Sir or Madam,

in May and June 2015 the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge will host three lectures as part of the Global China lecture series hosted by the Universities of Birmingham and Cambridge. As I believe that the lectures will be of interest to the students and members of your department and travel bursaries are available for student attendance of the lectures, I would be thankful if you could circulate the email below to students and faculty at your department and post the attached poster at the notice board of your department.

Thank you very much for your help.

Yours sincerely,

Ghassan Moazzin
PhD Candidate, Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies
University of Cambridge

The University of Birmingham and the University of Cambridge are co-hosting the "Global China: New Approaches" lecture series funded by the Chiang Ching-kuo foundation.“Global China: New Approaches” will bring public intellectuals of the highest caliber from the disciplines of literature, history, history of medicine, and cultural studies to the University of Birmingham and University of Cambridge to share their

cutting-edge research and approaches to the study of “Global China.”



The lecture series demonstrates the necessity of employing multi-disciplinary approaches to understanding China and its cultures and histories and intends to decenter our contemporary understanding of Global China. The temporal scope of the lecture series is intentionally broad in order to explore the interlinked processes of modernity and globalization – from the late imperial to the contemporary periods – that have shaped the contemporary world we know today.



The final three lectures in the series will be hosted at the University of Cambridge:

Angela Leung (University of Hongkong), “Glocalizing medicine in the Canton/Hong Kong region in late Qing China (ca. 1840-1911)”, 14 May

2015, 4pm (Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Cambridge)



Eugenio Menegon (Boston University), “A Micro-Historical Approach to Global China: The Daily Life of Eropeans in Beijing in the Long 18th

Century”, 11 June 2015, 4 pm (Ramsden Room, St Catharine's College, University of Cambridge)



Shu-mei Shih (UCLA), “From World History to World Literature: China, the South, and the Global 1960s”, 12 June 2015, 4pm (Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Cambridge)



Travel Bursaries are available for students from outside of Cambridge. Please contact Shirley Ye at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> for further details.
