Min Ji’s presentation is mainly about the Mosuo woman and culture such as the marriage pattern, cultural pattern. They are quite different from that of the Han Chinese and also from that of any minority in China. Mosuo culture basically is women-centered, i.e. the matriarch instead of man is the head of Mosuo family and is the most respected. Her study sheds light on the current situation of some misunderstanding of Mosuo minority women and its unique tradition. Dr. Min Ji will be speaking at Ithaca College Wednesday, April 23rd at 7pm in Job 161. The title of her talk, "Stories from Chinese Explorations" will detail interpreting minority cultural tradition from a Mosuo Women's Perspective.
