Seminar and outreach
Coming Seminars
1. “Beyond Chinese, Beyond Food:
Unpacking the Chinese Restaurant Business in Germany”
by Dr. Maggi Leung
Assistant Professor, Department of Geography, The University of Hong
Kong
Date / Time: Wednesday, 30 January 2008
/ 4:30 p.m.
Venue:
The Reading Room, Centre of Asian Studies,
Tang
Chi Ngong Building, Room G-4 (Ground Floor)
Organized by: Centre of Asian Studies, HKU
Abstract:
Drawing
on the concept of “mixed embeddedness” to challenge the popular
culturalistic view that Chinese migrants enter the catering business
simply because they are Chinese. Based on qualitative interview results
and observations from fieldwork conducted in German cities, the
presentation illustrates first the dynamic nature of the Chinese
restaurant trade. It then proceeds to explore how important factors such
as Chinese migrants’ access to alternative employment, the development
of in- and out-migration policies in Germany and East Asia, the changing
consumer demand and market conditions, as well as availability of set-up
capital, shape the volume and forms of Chinese restaurant trade, the
kinds of food served, hiring practices and other business strategies.
