Jane Hayward of King's College on Teaching China through YouTube

Welcome to the Seneca Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China. In this program, we'll look at books, ideas, new research, intellectual currents, and cultural trends that can help us better understand what's happening in China's politics, foreign relations, economics, and society. Join me each week for in-depth conversations that shed more light, and bring less heat to how we think and talk about China. I'm Kaiser Goa coming to you from Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Seneca is supported this year by the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Wisconsin and Madison, a national resource center for the study of East Asia. The Seneca podcast will remain free, but if you work for an organization that believes in what I'm doing with the podcast, please consider lending your support. You can get me at cynecapod at gmail.com. And listeners, please support my work at www.seneca podcast.com, become a subscriber and enjoy, in addition to the podcast, the complete transcript of the show, essays from me, as well as writings and podcasts from some of your favorite China-focused columnists and commentators, with offerings like the China Global South podcast. James Carter's This Week in China's History, The Ultimate China Bookshelf by Paul French, Andrew Methfin's Seneca Chinese Phrase of the Week, and much more.

Each week when I introduce the show, I talk about how I try through the guests that I invite onto the program and the conversations we have to bring more light and less heat to how we think and talk about China. For me this isn't just boilerplate, it's a mission statement of sorts. Well, this week I am delighted to be joined on Seneca by someone who I don't think it's too presumptuous to say is also very much dedicated to that same mission. Jane Hayward is lecturer in China and Global Affairs at the Lao China Institute, King's College London. Her PhD is from NYU in East Asian Studies, and she has done postdoctoral work at both the Oxford China Centre and at Qinghua University in Beijing.
