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.
Russia-China Relations: Recent Trajectory, Implications, and Outlook
The Sigur Center for Asian Studies presents a panel discussion on the Russian-Chinese relationship.
Where
Prompted by growing common interests, opposition to U.S. pressure and perceived decline of the West, the Russian-Chinese relationship has advanced markedly in ways that challenge the United States. While not a formal alliance, the relationship has gone well beyond the common view a decade ago that Russian-Chinese ties represented an “axis of convenience” with limited impact on U.S. interests.
This event will feature a presentation by Professor Robert Sutter (Elliott School of International Affairs) on the preliminary findings of an in-depth examination that the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) is conducting on the contemporary Russia-China relationship and its implications for U.S. interests. Immediately following this will be a discussion of issues and recommendations by expert commentators on the implications of Russia-China relations for U.S. national security interests, U.S.-China relations, U.S.-Russia relations, and for Japan and Northeast Asia (see agenda below for details). Following this will be a Q&A session, providing ample time for audience members to offer their insights and recommendations.
