BACS Bulletin 2016
BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR CHINESE STUDIES Bulletin 2015-2016 ISSN 0958 5082 PRESIDENT Jane Duckett, University of Glasgow SECRETARY Toby Lincoln, University of Leicester TREASURER Daniel Hammond, University of Edinburgh BULLETIN EDITOR Tehyun Ma, University of Sheffield COUNCIL MEMBERS Marjorie Dryburgh, University of Sheffield Barend ter Haar, University of Oxford Derek Hird, University of Westminster Heather Inwood, University of Manchester Tehyun Ma, University of Sheffield Leon Rocha, University of Liverpool Cosima Bruno, SOAS University of London Stephen McDowall, University of Edinburgh BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR CHINESE STUDIES PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2015-16 In my second year as President of BACS I have continued to work with the Council to promote public understanding of China, Chinese culture and Chinese language, as well as the wider field of Chinese Studies. We have also sought to extend the role of BACS as a representative organization and to continue to map the field of Chinese Studies in the UK. We have worked with the Confucius Institute for Schools at the Institute of Education, together producing a leaflet and presentation to help schools encourage their students to study Chinese at university. We continued to improve the website and we updated the Review of Funding for Chinese Studies with funding from the Universities China Committee London (UCCL). We also began to use social media – both Facebook and Twitter – to engage better with members and a wider public audience. BACS celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2016 and to mark the occasion established its Early Career Researcher Prize for the best research paper in Chinese Studies by an early career researcher. -
