I will be giving a public talk for my inaugural lecture at the University of Birmingham tomorrow afternoon at 4.30.

All welcome.  Just sign up by following the link below.  Apologies for the extremely short notice (only just occurred to me to publicise this event more widely).  The lecture title is self explanatory and although a very large topic it has been crammed into a concise one hour event.

The event is jointly hosted with the University of Birmingham China Institute.
