Upcoming USCI Event

Please join the USC U.S.-China Institute for a discussion with Professor Sam Crane of the Williams College on the limits of the Confucian revival in China.

10/16/2014 - Teaching Confucius in Beijing

Location TBA

University of Southern California

Los Angeles, CA 90007

Time：4:00 - 5:30PM

Cost：Free, please e-mail uschina@usc.edu to RSVP.

This talk will consider the limits of the Confucian revival in China, especially the ways in which rapid modernization works against a macro-political assertion of Confucian principles. Reference will be made to Professor Crane's experience this past summer teaching a course on Confucianism at the International Summer School at Renmin University in Beijing.

Sam Crane is the Chair of the Political Science Department at Williams College where he teaches, among other topics, contemporary Chinese politics and ancient Chinese philosophy. His most recent book, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Dao：Ancient Chinese Thought in Modern American Life（Wiley 2013）, interprets contentious social issues in the US（abortion, same-sex marriage, euthanasia）using concepts drawn from pre-Qin Confucianism and Daoism. He blogs at The Useless Tree.
