Decolonising the Syllabus: Teaching China Through Black History

In this talk, Dr Brown will address the question of “how should the academy respond and reflect the current moment?” through her own work on what she terms “Sino-Black relations”. Inspired by her Fairbank Center blog post entitled “Teaching China through Black History”. and the AAS Digital Dialogue: Asian Studies and BLM, Dr Brown will address how can address diversity, equity, and inclusion in our teaching, service, and research.

Dr Brown’s talk is part of a programme of events marking Black History Month. It will be followed by Q&A, hosted by Dr Jon Howlett, YARN’s East Asia Regional Coordinator.
