University of Westminster Conferences on China & Tibet

The University of Westminster announces two conferences dealing with Tibet and China. Since March 2008, Tibet has frequently been in the international news with contrasting images, explanations and representations. Rather than seeing the Tibet question in isolation, we seek to understand it within the wider context of politics and international relations of China, India and the West. Following on from two previous events (in March and April) with eminent Tibetologists from China discussing reforms, history, and development in Tibet, we announce the final two conferences in the series. First, on 22 May (Alternative Futures for the Tibetan Diaspora) and then on 23 May (China, India and the Himalayas) we will examine these issues, the conference will take place in London. Organiser: Dr Dibyesh Anand, Department of Politics and IR, d.anand@westminster.ac.uk. For more information, please see the department website for the final program, to be posted after 15 May.
