Chinese Britain: Culture and History – New Directions Conference

The PGLRG and British Chinese Studies network (co-hosted online by Alex Tickell, OU and Lucienne Loh, University of Liverpool) will hold a two-day online interdisciplinary conference: Chinese Britain: Culture and History – New Directions marking the first year of the British Chinese Studies Network. 

The conference will be themed around new research on ‘Chinese Britain’ with a focus on the culture and history of East and Southeast Asian and Chinese migrant and diasporic communities in Britain. The conference draws on research for the forthcoming British Library Exhibition ‘Chinese Britain’, but also aims to foster and publicise existing and new research across literary studies, art history, material culture, social and cultural history, and the social sciences. The conference includes a special creative writing plenary panel.

OU speakers include Alex Tickell and Fiona Doloughan.
