\n\t\tTalk is part of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Honors Colloquium, China Rising<\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 October 4, 2007\u2014Judith Shapiro, director of the Global Environmental Politics Program at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C., will explore environmental issues in Asia during a talk at the 溏心vlog免费B站. The talk, free and open to the public, will be held Oct. 9, at 7:30 p.m. in Room 271 of the Chafee Social Science Center, 10 Chafee Rd., Kingston.<\/p>\n


\nHer visit is part of 溏心vlog免费B站 Honors Colloquium, China Rising. The semester-long series explores China\u2019s dramatic transformation during the past three decades, a transformation that has returned that country to the leading role it has played throughout most of world history.<\/p>\n


\n\tShapiro\u2019s talk, \u201cAs China Goes, So Goes the Planet: China\u2019s Environmental Challenges in International Context,\u201d will focus on the trans-boundary implications of China\u2019s severe environmental problem. She will explore how cultural and historical factors help explain why these problems are so difficult to resolve.<\/p>\n


\n\tShapiro first visited China in 1977, and two years later returned to live and teach as one of the first 40 Americans to live in China after the normalization of U.S.-China relations. She taught English at Hunan Teachers College for two and half years, where she met her husband, a Chinese literature student. Along with her husband, Shapiro has written a number of books about the Mao years, including Son of the Revolution, After the Nightmare, and Cold Winds Warm Winds. Her most recent book is Mao\u2019s War Against Nature: Politics and the Environment in Revolutionary China. Her current research is on how China\u2019s national identity affects the country\u2019s prospects for achieving sustainable development. <\/p>\n


\nShapiro is also a professor at American University, teaching courses on environmental politics, Asia, and cross-cultural communication. She graduated from Princeton University and has advanced degrees from the University of California at Berkley, the University of Illinois at Urbana, and American University.<\/p>\n


\n\tMajor sponsors of the colloquium are the Mark Ross \u201864 and Donna Ross Honors Colloquium Humanities Endowment, the Tom Silvia \u201983 and Shannon Chandley \u201983 Honors Colloquium Endowment, 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Honors Program, Office of the President, Office of the Provost, Confucius Institute at 溏心vlog免费B站, College of Business Administration, College of Engineering, and the Division of University Advancement. <\/p>\n
