I'm very excited about the talk! I'm actually in the final stages of writing my thesis on feminist historiography, having just completed the rigors of thesis printing and binding a ride, to say the least! The focus of Claire Gullander-Drolet on Cha and Choi ties in perfectly with my research. Such events allow us to bridge theory and lived experience. Hats off to HKU for ensuring safety! I'm looking forward to attending and considering translation as an incredibly powerful feminist and historical tool.
