Our speaker, John Israel, is Professor Emeritus in History at the University of Virginia. He is the author of Lianda: A Chinese University in War and Revolution. The university’s location in Kunming has made this capital city of Yunnan province a second home for Prof. Israel. His part-time residence there has led to this interest in streetside posters, a hobby as he describes it. Those who have heard Prof. Israel speak know that his presentations are both informative and entertaining.
After the forum, those who wish will move on to the Golden Buddha restaurant on Clairemont for a Dutch-treat dinner, where our discussions and visiting may continue. Welcome!
