Across Ethnic and National Boundaries: Inner Mongolian Identity

Please join us for a timely look at China from the perspective of one of its fifty-six minorities. This talk will fill out the theme of “Greater China,” which we have explored during the last two years.

She is presently at the East-West Center as a post-doctoral research fellow for 1994-95. Dr. Bao received a Ph.D. and M.A. in anthropology, University of Washington (1994 and 1988), M.A. in Liberal Arts, Alaska Pacific University (1986), B.A. in English, Shanghai Institute of Foreign Languages (1980), and A.A. in political science, Central Institute of Nationalities, Beijing. Her research interests include modernity and multiculturalism in China; class, gender, ethnicity, and nationalism in China; and education for Chinese and ethnic minorities.
