Interested in Chinese urban culture? Come talk with the author of Mapping Modern Beijing: Space, Emotion, Literary Topography (2017), Dr. Weijie Song, an Associate Professor of modern Chinese Literature and culture at Rutgers University. He is the first Anglophone scholar to present a book-length ‘literary topography’ of the modern city of Beijing.
