This seminar features the work of young scholars as they interrogate revolution, identity, pop culture, leadership, economic cooperation, and the environment. We enlarge the perspective as we take a look at the North East Asian region and explore multifaceted dynamics among China, Japan, and South Korea. This initiative seeks to encourage next generation thinkers in their path as China/North East Asia watchers.
