DePaul Chinese Studies Program （中国研究专业）

Dr. Harney used to teach Chinese history at DePaul and was a beloved professor to our students. Please consider joining this very interesting talk based on his recent book on American Vincentians in China!

History students! On April 16, Dr. John Harney, author of Dreams of a Young Republic: The American Vincentians in China, will hold a special session for students to discuss the role of archival materials in the research process and in final publication. Dr. Harney's research was inspired by materials in DePaul's Special Collections and Archives.

Thank you to Dr. Anthony Kane for leading our local discussion about China's attempts to influence the US and your take-home message: whether the Chinese and the American like each other or not, we need to learn to live with each other. Thanks to National Committee on U.S.-China Relations for enabling this much needed opportunity to have the gonveteations. Thank you to all the guests who attended our event in person or on Zoom! Hope you gained insights and diverse perspectives from the speakers. See you next year!
