DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special event with Daisy J. Hung as she launches
  her insightful new book\, I Am Not a Tourist: Conversations on Being Brit
 ish Chinese.\n\nFrom politics to popular culture\, British Chinese experie
 nces have had little visibility\, remaining largely unseen and rarely disc
 ussed. I Am Not a Tourist is a fierce and moving exploration of what it m
 eans to be British Chinese today\, and a rallying cry against longstanding
  East and Southeast Asian racism that increased exponentially during the C
 OVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on personal stories\, extensive interviews and r
 esearch\, the book excavates the intricacies of identity\, reveals forgott
 en histories\, and explores the nuances of representation in a society tha
 t doesn’t always ‘see’ you.\n\nDaisy J. Hung is a diversity practiti
 oner\, author and artist\, advocating for social justice across personal a
 nd professional spheres. She is the Head of Equality\, Diversity and Inclu
 sion in the Mathematical\, Physical and Life Sciences Division at the Univ
 ersity of Oxford. Daisy has a\nunique\, international perspective on race\
 , identity\, and belonging\, informed by a career of over two decades acro
 ss legal\, non-profit and education sectors working to support marginalise
 d communities. As a person of Chinese descent\, born in Canada with family
  from Hong Kong\, raised in the US\, and now settled in the UK\, her sense
  of identity has shifted among many different contexts. Daisy was longlist
 ed for the Penguin Random House WriteNow 2020 competition\, and was select
 ed for the inaugural HarperCollins Author Academy programme in 2021 and Th
 e Greene Door Project’s mentoring scheme in November 2021.\nSpeakers:\nD
