Join us for a free one-day workshop for educators at the Japanese American National Museum, hosted by the USC U.S.-China Institute and the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia. This workshop will include a guided tour of the beloved exhibition Common Ground: The Heart of Community, slated to close permanently in January 2025. Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
How Will China Emerge from the Rubble?
Moderated by Michael Woo, USC professor and former Los Angeles City Councilman
When:
June 17, 2008 12:00am
The earthquake in Sichuan Province and its aftershocks produced widespread devastation and incalculable human tragedy on the eve of the Olympic Games in Beijing. Instead of marking the unblemished emergence of China as a world power, the ongoing human tragedy paints a more complicated portrait of the evolution which has brought China to this point and the changes which may come in the future. Chengdu natives Zhu Yanfeng and Liu Jin, Deputy Governor of the Futian District, and Deputy Director of the Shenzhen Science, Technology, and Information Bureau, respectively, KAZN Radio talk show host Cat Chao, and Linda Bourque and Virginia Li of UCLA School of Public Health visit Zócalo to explore how the earthquake is likely to change Chinese society and politics.
