Such a pleasure to have colleagues from Tsinghua University and King’s College London come together in Beijing for our first Tsinghua-KCL China Forum.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined, contributed, and helped make the sessions happen!

Happy to share that we’re hosting the 1st Tsinghua–King’s China Forum in Beijing on 26 May! @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social @kingsartshums.bsky.social @kingshistory.bsky.social @lauchinainstitute.bsky.social

We do hope this forum will help further strengthen the ties between our two institutions!

Very interesting!

My work with Sijie Hu -“Racing with population”- is out now on 清史研究.
我们认为中国长江三角地区与许多已知的欧洲案例相同，在1700年之前维持在既有发展模式. 而英格兰女性晚婚晚育减缓了人口压力，1650年之后出现的缓慢但持续的经济增长亦表明这一时期英格兰生产力的提升已承受住人口增长压力

A typical day in marking season:

five hours down but you haven't finish all; tube's suspended so you got home late; wife's waiting but dishes have gone cold; you opened twitter but the feed's nonsense all🫠

What is the value and use of history in contemporary society and culture?

We're delighted to launch a new OA short-form book series - 'Elements in History and Contemporary Society', with
@cambridgeup.bsky.social - to explore this question.
