Lecture Series

 


The Institute's South China research program is based at the Centre for Historical Anthropology, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou. It launched its first lecture series in May 2002. The theme of the lectures was the methodological integration of history and anthropology. Attendance on every occasion was excellent. Local students in Guangzhou and Hong Kong mixed with those coming from Peking University, Fudan University, Nanjing University, Nankai University, Wuhan University, Guangxi Normal University, Xiamen University, Shantou University, and Jiangxi Normal University. (Applications from non-local students have always exceeded numbers HKIHSS is able to fund.)
