Jing Zhao

Biography

Jing spent six months at Brooklyn Museum, New York in 2017 as the JSL Fellow. She is now Vice Director and Associate Research Fellow of the Social Education and Promotion Department at National Museum of China in Beijing.

Previously Jing worked as an Assistant Research Fellow at the National Museum of China.

At the British Museum
During her time on the International Training Programme in 2009, Jing was based in the Department of Asia and her partner placement was spent at Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums in Newcastle.

An element of the programme was a morning of presentations, in which groups of participants presented a 10-minute illustrated talk, prompted by the task to consider a new display of the fellows cultures at the British Museum.  Jing’s exhibition proposal, with colleague Zhan Wang, was entitled Tea Culture in the Song Dynasty.

Jing’s participation on the International Training Programme was generously supported by the National Museum of China

Legacy projects
In March 2010 Zhan attended the Cairo Conference Towards a global network where she presented a paper on what she had gained, both professionally and personally, from attending the ITP and her career development since the programme.
