From May 25 Solveiga Žibaitė, who has recently finished her studies in Social Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh, is doing an internship at the Centre for Asian Studies. She will stay here a month and a half.
Solveiga, who has spent a year in China, will help the staff of the Centre to organise a summer school and to carry out media monitoring – she will identify and review articles in Chinese about VMU events, students, and Lithuanian science and arts in general.
Studies of countries’ images are one of the research foci of the CAS. The media fragments collected and translated by Solveiga will serve as a basis for further research on Lithuanian-Chinese relations.
