Title |
One Identity Too Many |
|
Abstract |
On the special occasion of this Tang Prize Foundation Lecture, Professor Wang Gungwu will reflect on one of the conference’s themes “Memory” by drawing on his memoirs: Home is Not Here and Home is Where We Are. This online lecture will take us through the unexpected turns and wondrous meanders of a unique life fashioned by homes newly found and constructed across many continents. As major events are shaping the history of China, Southeast Asia and the world, this journey is a self-reflection on one’s identity and one that finds resonances through the infinite voices and feelings of belonging of the Chinese diaspora. Professor’s Wang’s lecture will be followed by a conversation with AAS President Jean Oi, who will help him “unpick and explain” the echoes that reverberate from the “grand and even intimidating universe” that is the past. |
