Event Details - China Town Hall 2020, A National Conversation on China

The Minnock Institute for Global Engagement (MIGE) at BSU and the National Committee on United States-China Relations invite the BSU community and the public to a ZOOM and livestream event: CHINA TOWN HALL 2020, a National Conversation on China, to be held on Tuesday, November 10 from 6-8 pm. This marks the 6th year for Bridgewater State University to host China Town Hall.

Dr. Elanah Uretsky, Associate Professor, International and Global Studies, Brandeis University, will speak for BSU on The Benefits of Health Diplomacy in the Age of a Pandemic on ZOOM from 6-7 pm. Dr. Uretsky is a medical anthropologist who is also broadly trained in public health. Her research and teaching take a critical anthropologic approach to examining global health responses to disease, with a specific focus on China. 

“China was caught off guard…at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. But building on lessons learned…they mobilized the resources necessary to get the virus under control in a matter of months. What lessons can and should the US and other countries be learning from China about how to deal with this pandemic as we enter our eighth month of living with COVID-19?”

Dr. Uretsky’s talk will be followed by a national webcast conversation on livestream from 7-8 pm with Ray Dalio, the founder, co-chief investment officer, and co-chairman of Bridgewater Associates, LP, the largest hedge fund in the world. Ray Dalio and Bridgewater have been deeply involved in the evolution of the Chinese economy and markets for 36 years.

With the recent downturn in US-China relations, it is timely to address how relations will change after the election. Sponsored by the Minnock Institute for Global Engagement and the Asian Studies Program.
