Intercultural Research and Exchange: Focus on China

September 27, 2018

Come join us in a conversational, intercultural exchange between domestic and international students.

Dickinson students, supported by an Asia-Network faculty-student research grant, just returned from three weeks of fieldwork in Yunnan Province. Most of the time was spent in a Bai village which has experienced large-scale migration to China’s cities. Rather than being abandoned like many other rural villages, Fengyu appears to be a vibrant community adapting to major changes as the parent generation leaves for work elsewhere. Three Dickinson students will present their research, its challenges, and the amazing welcome they received from the villagers. After their short presentation, they and fellow global ambassadors will open up to questions that incoming international students may have about their research, the U.S., and Dickinson’s campus culture. This is a great opportunity to get to know fellow students with international experience and a commitment to intercultural exchange! Asian appetizers, American desserts, and Pu’er tea will be served. For further information, please contact Meta Bowman at bowmanm@dickinson.edu.
