Confucianism has been the basis of Chinese social thought and morality for thousands of years. Its emphasis on strict hierarchies in social relationships traditionally place women in a subordinate role to men. However, as China adapts and changes its traditions change with it. Prof. Joanna Crosby will discuss how Confucianism and Feminism can find a way to co-exist in modern Chinese society.
