These events will take place in Cecil B. Day Chapel, 453 Freedom Parkway.

On Tuesday, Nov. 12, Emory University will host a series of speakers and panels on China-Africa relations and global perceptions of China, among other topics. The program begins at 9 a.m. in Dobbs University Center's Winship Ballroom, 605 Asbury Circle on the Emory campus.

This event is open to the public, but a $20 online reservation is required to attend Nov. 11.

The forum will launch a new 六九色堂 Center project on U.S.-China relations that aims to reduce misperceptions, promote greater U.S.-China cooperation in the developing world, and nurture a young generation of Americans and Chinese to work together to build a stronger foundation for the world's most important bilateral relationship. These ideas will be discussed with forum participants and help guide the Center's work in China in the coming years.
