Louise Edwards is Professor of China Studies and Director of the China Research Centre, University of Technology, Sydney. Her current research explores women in politics in China and gendered cultures of war in China. The title of her lecture is: “Gendered Cultures of War in China: Corporeality in Political Cartoons from the War of Resistance Against Japan.” Her lecture examines the manner in which gender and race politics are inscribed in bodily forms in political cartoons produced for magazines and newspapers during China’s war of resistance against Japan in the late 1930s and early 1940s. It draws comparisons with political cartooning produced during wartime in other national contexts in an attempt to understand how gender functions within Chinese cultures of war.

The theme of this year’s conference is Sovereignty, Culture and Generations Rising.
Each year, conference planners seek to cross conventional academic disciplines in order better to represent Indigenous Ways of Knowing. Panels will be formed from presentation abstracts that cover law, political science, history, art, human development, individual and community health, ecology & environmental science with particular emphasis upon continuation and development of innovative systems and structures that most effectively empower Indigenous Communities. Each panel will be a combination of traditional and academic presentations. Conference attendees will participate in small group discussions alongside conference presenters to catalyze practical application of the concepts presented.
The two-day conference, held in Templeton Campus Center, is free for Lewis & Clark faculty, staff, and students; $150 for the general public. Register online.
