Here goes to the first book talk of the season. Thank you King's Silk Roads 🙏🙌

LCARN members brainstorming ideas and having a laugh.

Very excited and anxious to be presenting joint paper with Yunyan Yunyan Li on comparative studies between Kazakhstan and China at the SPA24 in Glasgow. Our paper is about urban mothers’ defamilisation and coping strategies in Guangzhou and Almaty.
