Rethinking China with Louise Edwards 2021

Our 2021 in-person Sydney Lecture Series: Rethinking China features speakers of diverse expertise and background with the aim to inject breadth and depth into the public discussion about the People's Republic of China (PRC).

Louise, a respected author and academic of Chinese history, will describe how she sees China, why she sees China the way she does, and on that basis share her thoughts on what Australia's approach to the PRC should be.

In conversation with Louise will be Hamish Macdonald, host of the ABC's Q&A program.

Drinks and canapés will follow the lecture.

Tickets are limited and registration is essential.
