Join Maya Wang, Senior China Researcher at Human Rights Watch, as she discusses the challenges and risks that Chinese and Hong Kong scholars and students face. This broad-ranging conversation will explore the history and current landscape of the intellectual climate in China and Hong Kong, how its challenges to open inquiry and academic freedom also impact American campuses, and the devastating conditions facing Uyghur scholars and thinkers. There will be ample time for audience questions.
