November 15 — “Strange Bedfellows: China and the United States.”
The US and China may seem inevitably at odds over democracy, global leadership, treatment of dissent, and so on. Why does it seem as though their interests are so much in alignment? And is that a good thing?
When: Saturday September 13, 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM
Where: Indianapolis Peace House 1421 Central Ave. Indianapolis
From the Indianapolis Peace Institute’s preliminary blurb:
US-China relations have been a source of much attention this year, and the Beijing Olympics this August have brought controversy, protest, and international tension to the forefront. This workshop will bring a local perspective to bear on these issues, as we ask participants to explore the ways that our choices influence the relationship between these nations. How do our choices as consumers affect the lives of workers in China? How do American companies that contract work from China take responsibility for working conditions and product safety? How can we influence positive change in this arena?
