Date: 16 Jan 2025
Time: 1 – 2pm (UKT)
Venue: LT3, Arts Complex, University of Bristol
Language: English
*This event is aimed at undergraduates

Why is it important that we study the history of British colonialism? How might we decolonise this history, and what does this actually entail? At this History Showcase session, we consider these important questions, by drawing on the research and teaching experience of three historians of Hong Kong, a British colony between 1841 and 1997. We will be joined by Professor John Carroll of the University of Hong Kong, and Bristol’s very own Professor Robert Bickers and Dr. Vivian Kong.
