The Nanyang Assistant Professorship Programme is now open for application! The research grant is very generous: it has recently increased from $1 million sgd to $1.5 million sgd. Happy to share more about my experience of applying! @NTUHistory

Happening today at 8pm UK time/noon PST! Looking forward to discussing the book with @ShellyPSChan 😊 #hkhist

Excited to join Vivian Kong @viviankonghk tomorrow at 12 PST/7 pm UK for a transcontinental conversation on her excellent book about multiracial Britishness in Hong Kong. @globalhks_UC @hongkonghistory Hope to see many of you folks interested in HK history.

Enjoyed providing comments on an excellent presentation by @jht283, who weaved together well the subfields and sources of US & the World, Chinese Diaspora, transpacific, and education histories to tell the understudied transpacific history of Nanyang University in Singapore.

@viviankonghk @globalhks_UC Same here @viviankonghk ! I had no idea you studied at UCSB and had a California connection. How wonderful we will do this.

Look forward to my @globalhks_UC book talk & discussion with @ShellyPSChan. Having lived in California & studied at UCSB, I'm delighted to have the chance to share my book in California, albeit virtually! Join us on Apr 5 (noon PST/*8pm UK time) on zoom! #hkhist #hkhistory

Tomorrow and Saturday! Due to popular demand, we are now a webinar. See thread for registration and details.

@mo_yajun @ucsc Thanks for the warm support, Yajun!

@mianchenhist Thanks for the tip! I had no idea Poshek Fu’s book is also out. global.oup.com/academic/produ…

@ShellyPSChan Just finished reading Poshek Fu's new book, which has a chapter on the Third Force in HK. It might be fascinating to read them alongside one another, and I am eagerly awaiting my copy of Chin's book!

Hot off the press! Angelina Chin’s new book Unsettling Exiles: Chinese Migrants in Hong Kong and the Southern Periphery @ColumbiaUP is out. Grab a copy!

If anyone is in the New York area today, I am giving a talk at noon @ WEAI on how the Nanyang was not Southeast Asia. weai.columbia.edu/events/nanyang… Please come!

Big thanks to Michelle Wang @asianartlibrary and the East and Inner Council for organizing the Deconstructing China session #AAS2023 I was honored to present with @SangBina Sabina Knight & Tansen Sen. Great audience participation as well.
