UCL Quad, 31 March - 1 April 2015
The Thinking Chinese conference was a collaborative project between the UCL China Centre of Health and Humanity and History Department with Ming-Ai (London) Institute. The conference, and linked exhibition, brought together academics, heritage professionals and representatives from the Chinese community to explore the history of social, cultural and intellectual exchange between China and the UK as well as evolving notions of "Chineseness" in British society.
Over two days, more than 80 people attended interdisciplinary panels on a variety of historical topics as well as two roundtable debates on Chinese medicine and community representation in the 21st century.
