【Cultural Topics】Professor Nicolas Standaert Chaired 34th Ch’ien Mu Lecture in History and Culture

The “Ch’ien Mu Lecture in History and Culture” is organised to enhance academic and cultural exchanges. Invited speakers in the past years are all distinguished scholars in different fields of Chinese culture. Since 2013, the lecture series has been endowed by the Mr. Chan Chi-sun Chinese Culture Fund.

This year, the College was honoured to have invited Professor Nicolas Standaert of University of Leuven, Belgium as the speaker. Professor Standaert delivered three public lectures to discuss the cultural exchanges between China and the West with our students, teaching staff and the general public in early March 2023. This was the first on-site lecture resumed since the outbreak of COVID-19 three years ago, and the three lectures attracted more than 1,800 local and overseas audiences who attended both online and offline.
 
The three lectures were “Joining the Global Public in the Early Qing Dynasty: The Chinese ‘Gazette’ in European Sources” (16 March), “The Art of In-Betweenness: Cultural Contacts between China and Europe in the Seventeenth Century as an Example” (17 March) and “Sino-European In-Betweenness and Displacements: The Circulation of Prints between Europe and China in the Seventeenth Century” (19 March).
