This interdisciplinary conversation brings together specialists in Chinese history, literature and politics, moving from the year of the Boxers through the recent past. Focus is on the politics of memory and the different ways that contested events have been brought into or left out of narratives about China’s past circulating inside that country and in other parts of the world. Moderator Todd Hall, Director of the Oxford China Centre, will be joined by Jeffrey Wasserstrom, a cultural historian at UC Irvine, and Oxford faculty members Margaret Hillenbrand of Wadham College and Patricia Thornton of Merton College.
