CSUN Institute Offers Lectures on Asia
The China Institute at Cal State Northridge will host a lecture series beginning today in an effort to increase public awareness of the economic, political, historical and cultural issues facing Asian countries.
The series will open with “Opportunities for Economic and Educational Developments in South China,” by Cal State economics professor Ben Yu and education professor Elliot Mininberg.
Toh-Bin Lim, a surgeon at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center in Mission Hills, will follow on Nov. 7 with the discussion “Chinese Descendants in Kazakhstan.”
The series will end Nov. 21 with a lecture by Cal State management professor Shao-Ju Lee titled “Taiwan: Joseph or Ruth?”--a reference to biblical characters who decided either to return to their families or live independently. Lee intends to use the theme to discuss whether Taiwan should remain independent from China.
All lectures will be held at 3 p.m. in Room 1214 of the Education Building at 18111 Nordhoff St.
