As a mark of respect for the untimely passing of Vice President Malcolm Oakes this week, the Chinese Australian Historical Society has made the difficult decision to cancel the Henry Chan Lecture planned for 30 November 2023.
The CAHS Committee appreciates your understanding and will let you know the rescheduled date for the Lecture in the New Year.

Navigating Chinese Identity in Australia in 21st Century – Henry Chan lecture – *Postponed until further notice
*** Postponed until further notice ***
Join us in person for this year’s Henry Chan lecture, Navigating Chinese Identity in Australia in 21st Century by Dr Jennifer Hsu, Senior Visiting Fellow, University of New South Wales.
Australia and China marked 50 years of formal diplomatic relations at the end of 2022. While bilateral relations have suffered severe strains over the past few years, recent high-level meetings between Canberra and Beijing and Prime Minister Albanese’s trip to Beijing suggests relations are stabilising. Over the course of the last few years, people with Chinese heritage living in Australia have experienced a politicisation of their identity due to changing dynamics of Australia’s relationship with China. This talk will consider how Chinese identity in Australia is punctuated by politics and history. Dr Hsu will draw on her own personal and research experiences to reflect on what it means to be of Chinese heritage in Australia today.
Date: Postponed until further notice
