Translating China at the Cheltenham Festival

An event at next month’s Cheltenham Festival featuring our own Anne Witchard:

Translating China
Sunday 13 October, 12-1, Montpellier Gardens

How does the west ‘translate’ China and particularly the role of Chinese women past and present? How do western perceptions relate to reality? Acclaimed author of The Good Women of China, Xinran, joins the prize-winning ‘Misty Poet’ Yang Lian, and Anne Witchard, lead researcher on the AHRC project China in Britain: Myths and Realities, to discuss the evolution of gender roles in China, especially during the tumultuous events of the last hundred years.
