I have also attached flyers with more information.


Anxious China: Inner Revolution and Politics of Psychotherapy

Dr. Li Zhang (Professor of Anthropology at the University of California-Davis)



Thursday, March 11, 2021, 7:00 - 8:30 PM, via Zoom


The breathless pace of China's economic reform has brought about deep ruptures in socioeconomic structures and people's inner landscape. Faced with relentless market-driven competition, many middle-class urbanites are turning to psychological counseling to grapple with their mental distress. This talk examines how an unfolding "inner revolution" is reconfiguring selfhood, psyche, family dynamics, sociality, and the model of urban governing. Zhang shows that anxiety--broadly construed in both medical and social terms--has become a powerful indicator for the general pulse of contemporary Chinese society.
