Description
Workshop organised by University of Oxford, Manchester University, and London School of Economics.
The aim of the workshop is to:
1. investigate the historical and intellectual conditions in Britain under which the ‘neglect’ of China occurred and was sustained; 2. bridge the gap between the anthropology of China and other regions via ethnographical studies of how China is influencing people’s lives on the ground and in different regions; 3. call for anthropologists to pay attention to the significance of understanding China when carrying out contextual analysis; 4. reflect on the potential contributions that the Anthropology of China can make in the process of increasing mutual understanding and decolonising knowledge production more generally.
