The City Besieged by Garbage: Politics of Waste Production and Distribution in Beijing
UC Berkeley will hold a conference on waste management in Beijing.
When:

One of many of China's overwhelming challenges is that posed by waste management. The vast refuse deposits near Beijing will be discussed, including the dangers these pose, and the lives of people who have found an uncertain occupational niche therein.
This conference is in conjunction with the exhibit "Beijing Besieged: Wang Jiuliang's Urban Ecology Unhinged" on view at the IEAS Gallery March 10-June 10, 2011.
