In this video Professor Geremie Barme delivers the Inaugural CIW Annual Lecture, Australia and China in the World: whose literacy? This video was recorded at The Australian National University on the 15th of July, 2011.

This lecture seeks to address anxieties over 'China Literacy' in an age of Chinese economic ebullience, historical revival and national aspiration. In doing so it recalls some of the concerns of founding figures of Chinese Studies at The Australian National University, while advancing ideas related to the Australian Centre on China in the World, which was established in 2010.

He has published widely on Chinese history, culture, thought and politics. He is the author of a number of monographs, an editor and a translator. Apart from work in film-maker he is also the editor of the e-journal 'China Heritage Quarterly'.
