| Speaker: |
Prof David Goodman, Louise Edwards, Yingjie Guo and Ivan Cucco |
| Outline: |
Join David Goodman, Louise Edwards, Yingjie Guo and Ivan Cucco for the Melbourne launch of “The New Rich in China: Future Rulers, Present Lives”. This intriguing new book explores the hierarchies of wealth, status and power of China’s New Rich, their place within the current class structure and the chasm created in an ostensibly communist society.
As China extends its influence in the region, the New Rich link China to the world economy and influence China and Australia’s long-term futures.
“The New Rich” is a project edited by Professor David Goodman, one of Australia’s leading China-watchers and head of Contemporary China Studies at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
Professor Louise Edwards is Director of UTS’ China Research Centre and Convenor of the Australian Research Council’s Asia Pacific Future Research Network. Professor Edwards’ current research explores women in politics in China and gendered cultures of war in China.
Dr Yingjie Guo is a Senior Lecturer in Chinese Language and Culture at UTS. He is interested in nationalism and the politics of national identity in the PRC since 1989.
Ivan Cucco is a PhD candidate working on his doctoral research on new agricultural cooperatives in China.
This event is presented by UTS: China Research Centre and Asialink.
