OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Based on abundant annual reports and publications of different UK missionary societies, as well as family archives and biographical materials of many missionary individuals, stocked in the libraries of Oxford University, this talk will outline the influence of western missionaires on Chinese medical education, hospital construction, and medical practice in the modern period, including the attitude of Nationalist and communist authorities towards missionary medicine. One striking example was the Cheeloo University Medical College in Tsinan, Shantung and the hospital affiliated to it.
