AChina and the World, A Symposium
RSVP Here
China’s global role is immeasurably important. Whether in renewable energy, global health, climate change, mega-infrastructure, electric vehicles, transnational security, the future of space exploration, or the world’s economic condition, China is pivotal. Yet, how do societies across the international community think about China? This symposium brings together twelve scholars who will offer contemporary views of China from Africa, Europe, Korea, Mongolia, Oceania, Panama, Russia, and the United States. We will also hear about China’s view of the United States, and elsewhere.
This symposium is in remembrance of Harvard Professor Ezra Vogel, who delivered the keynote for the 2018 China Forum. The event is jointly sponsored by the Harvard Club of Northern Nevada & the Sierra and the Department of History, the University of Nevada, Reno.
