China Thinking e-Bulletin
Oxfordlogo

July 2016
 
 

The summer is a busy time for the Oxford community in China.

In this edition, register for alumni receptions with Professor Louise Richardson, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford in Beijing or Hong Kong, and read about Oxford scholarships that could change a student's life.

In July, Dr Francis Szele in Hong Kong speaks about stem cells and what they can tell us about an individual's insanity while Professor Victoria Murphy sheds light on the development of literacy skills in children learning English as an additional language.

This edition also features Dr. Bronwyn Tarr on her study about the positive impact of group movement like Tai Chi. Professor Barend J. ter Haar reflects on his study of Chinese culture and religion, and Oxford alumna and independent curator, art consultant and writer Olivia Wang talks about her time at and after Oxford.

Lastly, discover how students and researchers in Oxford are gaining novel insights into China with the help of a new speaker series.
