The University of Granada (UGR) inaugurated on Tuesday, March 1, the 2nd Itinerant Scientific Poster Exhibition of the Thematic Network “Studies of East Asian Women.” An activity carried out by the members of the Network in collaboration with the Area of East Asian Studies of the University of Malaga and other universities and institutions such as the Confucius Institute of Madrid.

The opening ceremony was attended by professors Aurelia Martín (Principal Investigator and Professor at the University of Malaga) and Alicia Relinque (Associate Professor at the University of Granada), both members of the thematic network.

During the opening ceremony, we had the participation of Paloma Chen, a Spanish writer and poet of Chinese descent, graduated in Journalism and Construction and Representation of Cultural Identities and a researcher on the Chinese diaspora in Spain. Paloma Chen read poems from her book Invocation to the Silent Majorities, where she expresses her own experiences as the daughter of migrants in Spain. The inauguration ended with an interview with the author.

The exhibition, funded by the University of Malaga’s Own Plan and designed by the members of the Network, will be itinerantly exhibited in various Spanish universities with the aim of raising awareness of the issues facing women from East Asia in various disciplines, such as literature, history, and anthropology.
