活动讯息 | Events n News   July 18, 2008 at 12:00 amDCSSA2009

Summer is always the travel time for Chinese scholars and students. Due to the absence of keynote speakers and a broader audience in the summertime, we have to postpone July 18th’s nationalism salon until the next semester. We apologize for this unexpected change. Please check our website to see the updated activity information.

We will continue cordially holding the first member meeting and social activity for you on July 18th from 5:30pm to 8:00pm in multicultural lounge in Bryan Center. Delicious Chinese food will be provided. In this social activity, we will introduce this brand new organization, Duke China Forum, to you. A very casual discussion of our organization and brainstorming future discussion topics will follow. If you are determined to come, please register at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=K7lL9_2bmYi6_2bcM6o674UuHA_3d_3d.

Our organization is currently preparing events for throughout the year. We hope this will be an exciting and comfortable place where any person interested in China can express his/her opinions. However, it deserves special emphasis here that DCF is a purely academic organization, which does not uphold any particular political stances, as it is our belief that politics always disturb academic communication. This is the most important spirit of this organization.

Duke China Forum’s Mission:
The Duke China Forum (DCF) is a student-run academic organization, established for students, faculty, scholars and professionals at Duke and the Triangle Area to exchange their views and opinions on social, economic, political and cultural issues occurring in the Greater China Region. DCF aims to promote interdisciplinary intellectual exchange among social sciences, humanities, business, law, public policy and science and technology, and develop some innovated ideas and aspirations through regular discussions. DCF expects to become a platform to discuss China issues, a window to know China, and a bridge to link Duke China Study researchers and sister organizations in the world.
