SUMMARY:Lecture: How to Tell a Sensitive History: Interviews with Chinese International Communist Volunteers in Burma
DESCRIPTION:How to Tell a Sensitive History:\nInterviews with Chinese International Communist Volunteers in Burma\n  \n  \n12 November 2025 (Wednesday)\, 18:15–19:45 \nRoom VG 1.102 \n\nSpeaker:\nDr. Ning Zhang (University of Oxford) \nResearch Associate\, Oxford School of Global and Area Studies \nAbstract:\nDr. Zhang is working on a book project that offers a pioneering exploration of the experiences of Chinese volunteers in Burma between 1968 and 1989. These volunteers were primarily former sent-down youths who supported the Burmese Communist Party’s insurgency against the Burmese government. After China withdrew its official military presence in 1973\, many volunteers returned home and faced the difficult process of reintegrating into a society largely unaware of their contributions and sacrifices. Although Chinese involvement in the Burmese Civil War has long been an open secret\, it remains officially unacknowledged by the Chinese government. The volunteers’ hopes of being recognised as soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army were met with silence\, while their experiences of political repression under the BCP continue to be a sensitive and contested subject in contemporary China.\nDrawing on sixty in-depth interviews and a substantial collection of personal archives\, Dr. Zhang’s project sheds light on the human dimensions of “international communism” and its reverberations in Southeast Asia. This lecture explores not only how these historical actors remember and recount their contentious pasts\, but also the ethical and methodological challenges of researching and narrating politically sensitive histories in China. It highlights how the act of telling these stories—by both the witnesses and the historian—reveals the emotional\, political\, and moral limits of historical inquiry under conditions of state silence and collective forgetting. \nSpeaker Bio:\nDr. Ning Zhang received her PhD from Fudan University in China and is currently a Research Associate at the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies. Her research examines the social and political history of modern China\, with a particular focus on the Sent-Down Youth Movement and Maoism in Southeast Asia. From 2022 to 2024\, she held a Newton International Fellowship at the University of Oxford\, funded by the British Academy\, for her project entitled “Chinese Sent-Down Youth and the Communist Movement in Burma (1968–1989).” During this fellowship\, she conducted extensive fieldwork and oral history interviews. The findings from this research form the basis of her current book project and this lecture. \nOrganizer:\nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen \n  \n  \n\n Poster image generated with the assistance of ChatGPT.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Prof. Eric Vanden Bussche (Tokyo University): The Global 19th Century: Networks of Knowledge\, Migration\, and Empire
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Prof. Eric Vanden Bussche (Tokyo University): The Global 19th Century: Networks of Knowledge\, Migration\, and Empire\n\n26. November 2025\, 16:15 – 17:45\n\n\n\nAbstract: \nThis lecture investigates how transnational scientific and geographical exchanges between China\, Brazil\, and British Burma contributed to the dual processes of nation-building and empire-building in the nineteenth century. Drawing on archival sources from China\, Brazil\, Myanmar\, and Great Britain\, it centers on two interconnected case studies: Fu Yunlong’s intelligence-gathering mission to South America and the cartographic expeditions along the Sino-Burmese borderlands. By foregrounding the agency of both state and non-state actors\, it demonstrates how intelligence-gathering missions\, border negotiations\, and the establishment of Qing legations in Europe catalyzed the production\, transfer\, and negotiation of knowledge systems. These undertakings simultaneously advanced broader political\, territorial\, and settler-colonial objectives. Moving beyond nation-centered narratives\, the lecture broadens the analytical lens on the global circulation of scientific and geographical knowledge. It further contributes to ongoing theoretical and methodological debates on settler colonialism\, a concept typically grounded in Euro-American experiences. In doing so\, it highlights the dynamic roles that Asian and South American actors played in shaping the expanding global networks of expertise\, diplomacy\, and migration. \nSpeaker: \nEric Vanden Bussche is an Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo\, Japan. His research and teaching examine the historical and contemporary dimensions of border disputes in East and Southeast Asia\, as well as the transnational processes shaping Chinese immigration to Brazil. He is co-editor of Critical Han Studies: The History\, Representation\, and Identity of China’s Majority (University of California Press\, 2012) and co-author of 《巴西与中国：世界秩序变动中的双方关系》 (世界知识出版社\, 2001). He holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University and an M.A. from Beijing University. He is currently working on a project titled “The Making of a ‘New China’ in the Tropics: Geographical Knowledge and Chinese Migration to Brazil\, 1870s-1900s.” \nOrganizer:\nProf. Dominic Sachsenmaier\, University of Göttingen
