Description 詳情

The Hoover Project on China’s Global Sharp Power, Stanford University's Department of History, and Stanford University's Center for East Asian Studies invite you to Memory as Resistance: From Tiananmen to Hong Kong on Monday, April 17, 2023 from 4:00 - 5:00 PM PT at Stauffer Auditorium. 

This talk is grounded in two decades of fieldwork on the preservation of historical memory tabooed by the CCP regime. Drawing on contextualized personal accounts, Rowena He will illuminate the unequal contest between state-imposed interpretations of history and independent scholarship on China’s forbidden past, and their implications for nationalism, democratization, and the field of China studies. Highlighting her extensive interactions with local and mainland Chinese students during Hong Kong’s unprecedented social movement, she illustrates how memory becomes a form of resistance that embodies citizen autonomy and agency. The power of the powerless.
