Seminar with Professors Dali Yang and Yujeong Yang
The Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures is delighted to announce the upcoming Kang Endowed Lecture featuring Professor Dali L. Yang at University of Chicago on Apr 17 and 18. As a part of this annual event, a lunch seminar will commence at 12:30 on Apr 18 (Friday) focusing on Yang’s book Wuhan: How the COVID-19 Outbreak in China Spiraled Out of Control, published by Oxford University Press in 2024. This book is praised by many scholars in related fields. For example, Bruce Dickson from George Washington University comments on the book, stating, “In this remarkable book, Dali Yang offers a gripping account of the outbreak of Covid-19 in China: day by day, and even hour by hour. It will be the definitive account of the outbreak and the Chinese government's mishandling of it.”
Professor Yujeong Yang in the Department of Political Science will serve as the moderator and major discussant for the seminar. We welcome both faculty members and graduate students interested in China studies, Political Science, Medical Humanities, and related fields to participate in this dialogue.
