On Tue Nov 18, Professor Visser performed a wonderful speech for us. Much more people actually came than we expected, with tons of passion for both feminism and our delicious dumplings. Professor gave us her insight into Chinese feminism from historical aspects, from geographical characteristics, and from modern Chinese society. After her short speech, everyone got excited about food, but the group discussion on feminism among students and Prof Visser had never ended.
We sincerely thank those who participated and hope everyone had enjoyed the event!
