St. Lawrence Hosting Conference 'Debating The China Model' May 13-15

CANTON - The 13th Overseas Young Chinese Forum Annual Conference will be held at St. Lawrence University May 13 through 15, with the theme "Debating the China Model." The event is also funded by a grant from the Freeman Foundation.

The Overseas Young Chinese Forum (OYCF) was established in 1999 to provide a forum for overseas young Chinese scholars, graduate students and professionals to exchange views on issues concerning China and to develop common aspirations. The organization has evolved into one dedicated to promoting exchange of ideas; exploring solutions; sponsoring teaching, research and publication projects; and contributing to China's development. As an organization run by volunteers, OYCF advocates, cultivates and nourishes voluntarism, and seeks to attract those who share its concerns and commitment toward China.

Keynote speakers for the conference include Princeton University Professor of Economics Gregory Chow; Loyola University, Chicago, Professor of Philosophy David Schweichart; and Boston University Professor of Political Science Joseph Fewsmith. Several members of the St. Lawrence faculty, from a variety of academic departments, will give presentations.
