Xiaodong Lin, Magdalena Wong & Derek Hird

In this discussion-focused event, the MCI has invited speakers Dr Xiaodong Lin (University of York) and Dr Magdalena Wong (Independent scholar), as well as discussant Dr Derek Hird (Lancaster University) to talk about evolving Chinese masculinities. The speakers will first share opening statements and thoughts on contemporary Chinese masculinities before the session will be opened up to discussants and the audience. The discussion will explore Chinese masculinities both in China and further afield, with reflections on the construction of masculine stereotypes at the intersection of gender, race, and violence.
