China Institute of Trier University (CIUT) Webinar Series: Mapping migration of people and the impact on Chinese education
The mobility of people and goods between China, their neighbours and countries in the West has had a tremendous impact on individual as well as national and global education. Periods of openness and free flow of ideas were followed by seasons of self-imposed closing up isolation – as becoming much more evident again in our increasingly bipolar, challenging world.
• How can we document and map individual histories of migration and its impact on education?
• Which analytical frameworks, methods and tools do different disciplines offer and what patterns of influence can be observed when looking at different historical contexts?
• How can international and interdisciplinary collaborative work on common topics about “China” be developed and conducted by researchers across temporal, geographical, cultural, and ethno-lingual boundaries?
The series of three webinars focusing on “Linking data infrastructures for Chinese biographical research”, “(His)Stories of Chinese diaspora & education migrants” and “History of foreign influences on education & science in China” is part of the effort of the China Institute of the University Trier (CIUT) to strengthen research on the mobility of Chinese people, the Chinese diaspora communities, and the influence and impact of their interactions with the host societies on Chinese societies.
