Stubborn Silences: Writing the History of Chinese Women
Date/Time: Tuesday, March 28, 11.30am
Location: IB Lecture Hall
Guest Speaker: Professor Gail Hershatter
Abstract: Scholars of women and gender in China have often liked to make the claim that adding a serious consideration of women to our understanding of Chinese history would not be like adding a spice, as in “add women and stir,” but rather that it would alter the field fundamentally. Have we delivered, collectively, on that claim? And what do we most want our students to learn that could help them to think about the world of the past and the world they inhabit.
