Lecture: Dr. Benno Weiner at June 30th
"Making Minorities on the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands of Early-Maoist China: United Front Gradualism, Revolutionary Impatience, and the Afterlives of Empire"
Dr. Benno Weiner is Associate Professor of History at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA. He is a historian of Modern China, Tibet and Inner Asia. His research revolves around China’s contested and possibly incomplete transition from empire to nation-state and in particular the processes and problematics of twentieth-century state and nation building within China’s ethnic minority regions. Before joining CMU, he taught at Appalachian State University in North Carolina.
We look forward to his lecture at the Institute for Sinology Freiburg with the title:
“Making Minorities on the Sino-Tibetan Borderlands of Early-Maoist China: United Front Gradualism, Revolutionary Impatience, and the Afterlives of Empire”
When: Thursday, June 30th 2022
