Left Behind to Get Ahead: the Children of China's Migrant Workers
Date :Thursday 14 September
Time: 6:30 Drinks Reception
7:30 Lecture
Venue: Ladies' Recreation Club,10 Old Peak Road, Hong Kong
Speaker: Professor Rachel Murphy, Head of School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies
Cost: HKD150 for Oxford Alumni
Registration method: Please register at the event
This event is being arranged in partnership with the Royal Geographic Society
Oxford alumni and friends are invited to an informative talk on the phenomenon of ‘left-behind children’, delivered by Professor Rachel Murphy, Head of the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, Director of Contemporary Chinese Studies and Professor of Chinese Development and Society.
Synopsis
Millions of children in China have been ‘left behind’ in the countryside while their parents work in distant places to support the reproduction of their families. This talk draws on matched interviews with children and their caregivers over a five-year period to examine the role of education in this process. It shows that on a daily basis, the work of children in schools and the work of parents in the cities are intertwined. Specifically, by communicating with each other about study and by focusing on the children’s educational future as the purpose of their work, both children and parents enact their obligations towards each other, while finding ways to cope with the emotional difficulties that protracted separation entails. The talk additionally highlights noteworthy differences among these children in how they deal with both parental migration and study pressures: by who migrates, who provides care, economic circumstances, and their own gender, age and academic performance. Overall, the discussion demonstrates that children’s voices offer valuable and fresh insights into how migration and education drive agrarian change.
About the speaker
Professor Rachel Murphy is Head of the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies (SIAS), University of Oxford. She is also the Director of Contemporary Chinese and Professor of Chinese Development and Society. Professor Murphy is a sociologist whose research examines transformations in China’s interior occurring because of the inter-related processes of industrialization, urbanization, demographic transition, modernization (especially through state-endorsed projects such as education), marketisation and the expansion of communications technologies. Her research is one example of the wide range of research on China taking place at Oxford.

Synopsis
The realisation of quantum computers will be one of the greatest scientific and engineering achievements of this century, creating machines with the potential to solve problems that would take a conventional high-performance computer the lifetime of the universe to crack.
Although a fully quantum computer is years away from development, the disruptive potential of quantum machines is attracting growing interest and investment from industry and governments globally, inspiring the growth of the next trillion dollar tech market.
Designed for a non-technical audience, this lecture will introduce the counter-intuitive features of the quantum world that are being harnessed to create quantum computers, the challenges scientists and engineers have yet to overcome in order to build such a machine, and the breakthroughs at the University of Oxford that are paving the way for the Q20:20, the world’s first working quantum processor. A panel of business and academic leaders will discuss how this new generation of computers will create new market opportunities and impact the lives of people in China and around the world in the decades ahead.
Professor Walmsley is a world-renowned expert on quantum computing, who will introduce us to a field which promises to revolutionise the technological landscape in the years ahead. The lecture, which is designed for a general audience, will be followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders who will help us to understand how this ground-breaking technology will have an impact on China and the wider world.

(ASHK's ticketing site will undergo maintenance from 6 pm, June 18 to 11 am, June 23, 2017. During this period, all online ticketing transactions and membership sales will be temporarily suspended.)
Oxford alumni and friends are invited to a special reception and talk at the Asia Society Hong Kong Centre with Professor Craig Clunas, Head of History of Art Department.
This event is kindly hosted by Asia Society Hong Kong Centre.
Synopsis
This talk will take a long view in considering the market for Chinese art from the Ming period to the 20th century. Do the changes matter more, or is it the continuities we should be paying attention to? In particular, how does the invention of the categories 'traditional and 'modern' in the 20th century relate to the commodities of the art market and the contexts in which they circulate?
About the speaker
Craig Clunas is Head of History of Art Department, University of Oxford, and the first holder of this position to work on art from outwith the European tradition. He is the author of numerous books on the art of China, particularly of the Ming period, and his 2012 A. W. Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery of Art are forthcoming under the title 'Chinese Painting and its Audiences' – which is also the title of his most recent publication.
About Chinese Painting and Its Audiences
What is Chinese painting? When did it begin? And what are the different associations of this term in China and the West? In Chinese Painting and Its Audiences, which is based on the A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts given at the National Gallery of Art, leading art historian Craig Clunas draws from a wealth of artistic masterpieces and lesser-known pictures, some of them discussed here in English for the first time, to show how Chinese painting has been understood by a range of audiences over five centuries, from the Ming Dynasty to today. Richly illustrated, Chinese Painting and Its Audiences demonstrates that viewers in China and beyond have irrevocably shaped this great artistic tradition.

Craig Clunas is Head of History of Art Department, University of Oxford, and the first holder of this position to work on art from outwith the European tradition. He is the author of numerous books on the art of China, particularly of the Ming period, and his 2012 A. W. Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery of Art are forthcoming under the title 'Chinese Painting and its Audiences' – which is also the title of his most recent publication.
About Chinese Painting and Its Audiences
What is Chinese painting? When did it begin? And what are the different associations of this term in China and the West? In Chinese Painting and Its Audiences, which is based on the A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts given at the National Gallery of Art, leading art historian Craig Clunas draws from a wealth of artistic masterpieces and lesser-known pictures, some of them discussed here in English for the first time, to show how Chinese painting has been understood by a range of audiences over five centuries, from the Ming Dynasty to today. Richly illustrated, Chinese Painting and Its Audiences demonstrates that viewers in China and beyond have irrevocably shaped this great artistic tradition.

Charlotte Isaacs, from the University of Oxford's Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach Team will be visiting Shatin College and St Paul's Co-Educational College in April to deliver presentations on the Oxford's undergraduate admissions process.

The University of Oxford is extremely grateful to Sha Tin College and St Paul’s Co-educational College for hosting these events.
The sessions are primarily aimed at students considering applying to the university in October 2017 for a 2018 start date, and therefore would normally be in their penultimate year at school although students in year 11 may also find it informative. Parents are also welcome. To book onto this event please go to the relevant event web page and complete the online form. Further information will be sent out to all who have booked onto the event nearer the time.
Competition for places at Oxford is strong, and tutors would normally consider students achieving the following grades; between A*A*A and AAA at A-Level, or the International Baccalaureate with around 38-40, including core points, with 6s and 7s at Higher Level, or the HKDSE with grade 5s in three elective subjects, (the exception is for candidates applying to study Mathematics, who would need 5* in the compulsory Mathematics course, 5 in the Mathematics extended paper, and another 5 in another subject.)
