Professor John Carroll is professor of history and Associate Dean (Outreach) of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Hong Kong.

This session of A Salon will be held in conjunction with the first session of A Book Club, a platform for fellow residents to engage in friendly but thought provoking discussions through the presentation of books, film, art, research interests or any other fascinating topics or activities that could provide an intellectual stimulus to the resident body.
