Join us for a discussion themed around research on East and South East Asian communities. This is a collaborative event with Liverpool East and South East Asian Network (LESEAN) and the Centre for Culture and Everyday Life at the University of Liverpool.
The discussion will reflect on what ‘heritage’ means, collaborative research with communities and our current moment of increasing visibility of ‘East and South East Asian’ heritage. We'll be joined by two guest speakers, Dora Lam and Xiao Ma, who will give us an insight into their research. This will be followed by an audience Q&A and free refreshments.
