This panel discussion will bring together four speakers to discuss various aspects of the recent protests in China that are without recent precedent. We will aim to provide social and political context for the protests as well as historical analysis. Our panelists include both students and faculty who will present diverse viewpoints. The goal of the event is simply to bring people together to better understand what is happening, why it is happening, and to understand how things might develop from here.
