Participants will be invited to give a twenty-minute presentation on the theme of challenges facing the study of Hong Kong’s history.

This will be followed by question and answer sessions.

Accepted participants will be notified by December 1, 2017. Two nights’ accommodation in Bristol and some meals will be provided.
