The past matters in China today as never before. This talk explores the foreign impact on the nineteenth century Chinese empire, a tale largely forgotten overseas, especially in Britain, but always close to the surface in China itself.

Speaker Professor Robert Bickers, University of Bristol, is the author of the prize-winning Empire Made Me: An Englishman Adrift in Shanghai and The Scramble for China.

University of Bristol in association with the Bristol Festival of Ideas

Organiser

Centre for Public Engagement

The CPE supports and promotes public engagement with research and teaching across the University. This involves running programmes of public talks and festivals, and helping academics to engage with the public by working with them to attract funding, providing appropriate training and facilitating collaboration with partners outside the University. We share ideas about public engagement with other universities through the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement.
