Welcome to a new semester! We are excited to start a new semester, and welcome old and new students to the Centre! We also welcome two new PhD students, Benjamin Davies who will work on China and Kimhean Hok who will work on Cambodia. As always, we are preparing a range of interesting seminars and panel debates throughout the fall. So far this include a seminar on the role of photography in and about Hong Kong, a panel debate on how the war in Ukraine is having an impact on geopolitics in Asia, and a discussion on poetry and resistance in the Chinese speaking world. More events are in the pipeline so please keep yourself updated and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! Asia in Focus has been taken over from NIAS by the Centre! The journal publishes Asian Studies research broadly conceived, including both humanities and social sciences, but not linguistics, written by PhD researchers and Masters students.

While in the West the geopolitics of the conflict are relatively black and white, elsewhere the situation is more complex – and nowhere more so than in Asia. Come join experts on Asian international politics as we consider these and others questions, or ask our experts your own. Co-organised by SASNET and the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund University. See our website for more information 20 October 2022 13:00 to 14:30 | Webinar How does poetry arrive at the spot of social events in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan? How is the everyday resistance represented in women poets’ writing? And how does contemporary Chinese poetry intervene in the use of the Chinese language? In this conversation with poet, writer, and photographer Liu Wai Tong (廖偉棠, pinyin: Liao Weitang), the Centre’s Post-doctoral Fellow Jinyan Zeng and Liu revisit poems written over the past three decades in responding to social movements, social incidents, women poets’ writing, and unofficial poetry initiatives in the Chinese-speaking world.
