SUMMARY:Changes in China – The Fudan Lectures
DESCRIPTION:Join us to hear from two visiting professors from our Confucius Institute partner, Fudan University.  Each speaker will reflect on the impact of different aspects of recent changes in China on the wider society and economy. An outline synopsis from each speaker is below. This event will take place in the UoE Business School.  You can book your place here.\nTalk Titles\nHow Urbanization Changes China’s religious landscape – FAN Lizhu\nUnder Chinese government plans nearly 70% of the population will live in urban areas by 2035. The drastic urbanization has triggered massive demographic mobility in the past 30 years. This presentation will discuss how urbanization widely changes the religious landscape in China. Our preliminary findings are:\n\na large and unprecedented flow of population not only generates new economic and demographic dynamics, but also has great impact on the mode of religious development;\nreligious group and belief connections play a functional factor to help migrants settle down and start new life in the cities;\nnew religious movements now develop their own features through urbanization.\n\nThe Green Development of China’s Economy – LI Zhiqing\nChina is experiencing serious environmental problems after almost 40 years rapid economic growth since 1978, which means China has to transfer to the green development in the near future. The lecture will discuss the topics including factors behind the environmental problem during these decade of economic growth, the current connection between environment and economy in China, the possible solutions for fixing the problem and how to achieve a new balance between the environmental and non-environmental sector.\nSpeakers\nFAN Lizhu 范丽珠 is Professor of Sociology at Fudan University.
