The Digital Divide / Equality for education
Please join us this Fall for a 4-part conversation series featuring technologists, policy-makers, artists, educators, and other experts of their fields. Each monthly discussion invites new voices and practitioners to reflect upon modern advocacy and the potential to utilize technology to make a difference.
Good Society Forum: God and the Good Society: Spirituality in a Time of Pandemic
The global pandemic has forced us to not only examine what makes a good society, but what makes a good life. The pandemic has made us conscious - as if we needed any reminders - of the incredible gaps between privilege and poverty, wealth and marginalization. Social justice, or the lack thereof, has been a major factor in the way people have experienced this time. Faith leaders, religious institutions and activists moved by their spirituality have been at the forefront of confronting these inequalities and deep social fissures.

Linguistic Studies and Pedagogical Practices for Chinese Heritage Language Teaching
The Chinese Heritage Language Teaching Workshop aims to learn the most recent linguistic studies and share pedagogical practices around the field of teaching Chinese as heritage language. As Chinese students have become more prominent in our higher education institutions, a greater number of Heritage Learners are enrolling in Chinese language courses. Their growing presence in our classrooms has motivated ample research in the recent years to study the specific needs and interests of these students in order to better serve them and help them reach their linguistic and cultural goals.

Thinking Outside the Archive
Emily Baum (University of California, Irvine) and Denise Y. Ho (Yale University) present a series of three online webinars for graduate students in Chinese history and Chinese studies, broadly defined. We and other colleagues recognize that current students are facing unprecedented challenges in conducting research and pursuing their professional development. We realize that this pilot series will not address all issues, but hope that it will create a platform of community and support, with the potential for continuation in the future.

Good Society Forum: Gender equality and the good society
There has been progress all around the world over the last few decades in improving women’s rights. Gender equity legislation has become common. Nevertheless, family law is often discriminatory, domestic violence is widespread, and female participation in politics and public life is often low. So how do we achieve gender equality? What is the role of government, religious leaders, civil society and human rights activists? On 8 July, we will be joined by three women from the Middle East and North Africa to discuss how Covid 19 is impacting the struggle for equal rights in their region.
