Orville Schell has written ten nonfiction books about China, and has written extensively about China for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Nation, Foreign Affairs, and The New York Review of Books. My Old Home: A Novel of Exile (2021) is his first work of fiction, exploring life in Cold War China through the story of a father and his son. This webinar will commence with a discussion of legacies of China’s Cold War past in Chinese domestic and foreign policies today, before exploring the prospects for China’s relations with the world after Covid-19. Audience members will be invited to ask questions.
This event is co-hosted by the Manchester China Institute at UoM & the Dukakis Centre at ACT.
The Manchester China Institute (MCI) promotes research, teaching, and learning about China at the University of Manchester. The Institute’s vision is to foster a better understanding of China’s expanding role in a rapidly globalising world, and to promote the healthy development of UK-China relations.
The Dukakis Center at ACT -- the American College of Thessaloniki -- was launched in 1999 as an endowed chair in honour of three-term Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, and transformed in 2011 into a university centre dedicated to inspiring young people to take active roles in public affairs.
