British Chinese Research Network Event

British Chinese Research Network Annual Workshop, 2013: Bute Building, Cardiff University - Friday 20th September.

We are an inter-disciplinary group of postgraduate researches students and early career researchers whose work focuses on Chinese people in Britain (defined broadly to include British people of Chinese descent as well as migrants). Most of us have backgrounds in the social sciences but we would welcome the participation of researchers in other fields. We have met annually since 2011 for an informal, one-day workshop at which we have shared work in progress and discussed issues of common interest, including research methodology.

Our upcoming meeting is hosted at Cardiff University, School of Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies on Friday, 20th September, 2013.

Our topics focus on Chinese in Britain in social science and Humanities include:

• Diaspora and Migration
• Identity and Differences
• Transnationalism
• Youth and Education
• Politics 
• Race, Class and Gender
• Media and Communications
