Anna Chen kicks off the 'Internet and the modern self: manners and abuse online' debate at the Orwell Prize 2014 launch, held at the Frontline Club in London on 21 October 2013. Also on the panel, Helen Goodman MP, Professor Suzanne Franks and Dr Aaron Balick. Chaired by Jean Seaton.

The Royal Shakespeare Company declined this chance to debate with the British East Asian Artists group who had been critical of their casting for The Orphan of Zhao, a Chinese classic whose 17 roles included only three BEAs, and those were in minor parts: chiefly a puppet dog, a maid and a ghost child. Dr Ashley Thorpe of reading University chaired this roundtable discussion hosted by the Asian Performing Arts Forum; Taking part were Daniel York, Dr Amanda Rogers (Swansea University), Dr Broderick Chow (Brunel University) and Anna Chen. Thanks to Chowee Leow on camera. Editing and music by Anna Chen.
