Dear Modern Languages first year students,

There will be careers sessions for first year languages to raise awareness of the diverse opportunities available to language students and help with planning ahead for work experience in the summer (as well as Year abroad options). It is important to be aware now of the opportunities for development during your course.

These careers sessions will take place in the Tuesday 9-10 slot (same as the weeks 1 and 2 study skills sessions) in weeks 4, 7 and 9, in H0.52.

Please divide as you did for the study skills sessions:

Week 4: surnames A-G

Week 7: surnames H-O

Week 9; surnames P-Z

We look forward to seeing you there.

‘The Epistolary Reformation: The significance of letters in the first century of the Protestant Reformation’

I Support of the development of an original stage play about the World War One Chinese labourers, Moongate Productions in association with Dr. Diana Yeh present a discussion event focusing on these migrant Chinese workers, their story, their place in history and why that story belongs on the stage.

Strangers In A Strange Land: The World War One Chinese Labour Corps, their place in history, their place on the stage.

The long buried story of the approximately 140,000 Chinese labourers who lent vital assistance to the allied Great War effort is only now beginning to emerge.

These mainly poor, uneducated and illiterate peasants are very much the “forgotten of the forgotten”. Yet, ironically their role in the history of China,and its relationship with the Western world, is undeniably significant.
