Learning

Join the Beijing Women's Network for an online webinar on Healthy Living! The session, titled "Understanding the Rhythm of the Menstrual Cycle," will be led by speaker Hillary Van Mansfeld, the founder of the Female Health Empowerment Network. This is a free online event (donations are optional) and is open to all who identify as women.

In this new photography workshop, you will learn to take portraits like a professional photographer, working on a series of images about the people of Beijing.

In this workshop, Sean Gallagher will personally help you and guide you to create your own powerful portraits, drawing upon his experiences producing imagery for National Geographic, TIME and Smithsonian Magazine.

We will explore the fascinating Moshikou cultural street and Fahai Temple, making images of the unique people of this area. Sean will show you not only how to make individual images, but also reveal to you how you can make series of portraits that tell a story.

Many people struggle with making portraits of people. You may feel unsure how to approach people, you may be unsure how to frame the image, or even interact with subjects as you take their photo.

This workshop is aimed at amateur photographers who are ready to go beyond taking snapshots. Let Sean show you the true power of photography through learning the art of environmental portraits and photographic storytelling!

Limited to 8 students only. More information can be found here about this workshops and Sean's previous workshops in China: https://gallagher-photo.com/faces-of-beijing-portrait-workshop-november-2025/

ABOUT THE EVENT: Arthur R. Kroeber from Gavekal Dragonomics, will be in conversation with WSJ's Jonathan Cheng, on the China-US tech crunch, and avenues that could lead us away from crisis.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Founder of Gavekal Dragonomics, a China-focused economic research firm with offices in Beijing and Hong Kong, Arthur Kroeber spent fifteen years as a financial and economic journalist in China and South Asia before establishing Dragonomics. He is adjunct professor of economics at the NYU Stern School of Business and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Committee on US-China Relations. His book "China’s Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know" (2nd edition 2020) was published by Oxford University Press. “The Real China Model: Beijing’s Enduring Formula for Wealth and Power”, with Dan Wang, was published this autumn by Foreign Affairs.

ABOUT THE MODERATOR: Jonathan Cheng is the China Bureau Chief of The Wall Street Journal, overseeing the paper's coverage of the world's second-largest economy across a range of areas including politics, economics, business, technology and society. Mr. Cheng leads a team of more than two dozen correspondents and researchers in Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore and New York, with responsibility for the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. Mr. Cheng was earlier the Seoul bureau chief for the Journal, running coverage of the whole Korean peninsula. A native of Toronto, Canada, Mr. Cheng graduated from Princeton University with a degree in history.

ABOUT THE EVENT: As China's body of scientific research and knowledge expands massively, the country's contributions to advances including AI in drug discovery, diagnosis and treatment are taking an increasingly significant role in world health.

In this joint RAS Shanghai and RASBJ event, Michael Humphries will review the medical and scientific roots of RAS in China and Hong Kong dating back to the 19th century and introduce China's most important contributions to global health care (including traditional medicine). Michael's two previous talks for RASBJ, first about the visit to China in the 1760s of a British naval surgeon, and the second about pandemics, were both very enlightening. The talk will be moderated by Alan Babington-Smith of RASBJ.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Michael Humphries studied medicine at Cambridge University, trained in internal medicine in London and moved to Hong Kong as Consultant Physician. He has held adjunct associate professor appointments at both Hong Kong University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. For the last 30 years he has been living and working in China, focused on the R&D of new medicines.
