Book Talk: Modern China in Flux
Join authors Cécile Armand, Christian Henriot, and Nora Van den Bosch in a lively discussion about their latest edited volume, “Modern China in Flux: Networks, Mobility, and Transformation.”
This recorded book talk highlights innovative approaches using network analysis to explore diverse historical themes such as Sino-US grassroots relations, trans-Pacific alumni networks, the mobility of engineers, women’s networks, Chinese students in Belgium, Taiwan family networks post-1945, and the role of industrial elites.
The book emphasizes flexible methodologies and encourages historians’ creativity, serving as a valuable toolbox rather than a rigid template. “Modern China in Flux” is available open access. Read, share, and explore the dynamic transformations shaping modern Chinese history. Watch the conversation and delve into how networks can unlock new insights into historical transformations.
The book presentation will be followed by a live Q&A session starting at 10:30 a.m. (Paris)
