The Cantonese Program of the University of British Columbia Department of Asian Studies is hosting the Second Cantonese Worlds (CW2) Workshop at UBC St. John's College and the Richmond Public Library. First held in April 2015, the Cantonese Worlds Workshop (CW1) is a piloting event to begin an important conversation for leading scholars and observers regarding the transformations of the Cantonese cultures in the world over the past few decades. Now three years later since CW1, with the establishment of the popular Cantonese Language Program at UBC, CW2 aims to continue this process of discussion with guiding questions to shape future research, outreach, and public education in various areas of Cantonese studies. The 2-day workshop will feature an exciting mix of open forum discussion with established local and international researchers and educators, presentations by university students, screenings of films and an original musical, and a master class on lyric writing, etc. We invite all who are interested to participate in this very important undertaking.

Dr. Timothy Hildebrandt (Associate Professor of Social Policy at the LSE), an internationally-recognised expert in the study of NGOs in China, is offering his course on Chinese social organisations this coming August at the LSE-PKU Summer School in Beijing. This course explores the unique context within which NGOs and other social organisations have emerged in China, revealing how they have been able to often coexist with the government. It draws attention to the strategic adaptations that leaders of these organisations make in order to operate in a more narrow political environment such as China's, and examines how this might change the nature of their activities and ultimately the effect they can have on society.
Application Deadline: 15 June 2018
