Explore diasporic perspectives on Chinese identity in the UK

Join us for an online panel discussion exploring Chinese identity in the UK. There will be a particular focus on Liverpool, home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe. This event is part of Tate Liverpool's East and South East Asian heritage month programme.

Gregory B Lee, Fu Lian Doble and Jennifer Lee Tsai will be in conversation with Emily Beswick, doctoral researcher at University of Liverpool and Tate Liverpool.

Reflecting on ‘scattered belongings’, the speakers will explore mixed, adoptee and multigenerational experiences. We will discuss how colonialism and structural racism shaped these experiences, and how mixed, second generation and adoptee individuals have created new diasporic identities.

This event will be hosted on Zoom.

Fu Lian Doble

Fu is a Chinese adoptee and the founder of Decolonise East Asian Studies (DEAS). As an adoptee from China, her interests mainly revolve around identity, belonging and nationalism of Chinese adoptees. Fu is a member of CACH-ALL where she has regularly given talks on growing up adopted, birthparent searching and even East Asian makeup! On a personal level, she recently successfully found her birthparents.

Jennifer Lee Tsai

Jennifer Lee Tsai is currently an Artist in Residence at the Bluecoat and an AHRC-funded doctoral candidate in Creative Writing at the University of Liverpool. Her latest poetry pamphlet La Mystérique (2022) is published by Guillemot Press and she also works as a teacher, freelance writer and critic.

Gregory B Lee

As an author, broadcaster and academic, Gregory Lee has been writing and talking about China and "Chinatowns" for the past forty years. He is Founding Professor of Chinese Studies at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. He has lived and worked in France, the USA, mainland China, and Hong Kong. His most recent books are China Imagined: From European Fantasy to Spectacular Power (2018) and the dual-language (Cantonese/English) biographical fiction 第八位中國商人與消失嘅海員/The Eighth Chinese Merchant and the Disappeared Seamen (2022).

This event will have live captioning.
