The UC Irvine Center for Asian Studies presents a one-day workshop, "Narratives Of China's Economic Reforms."

• Tim Oakes, Geography, University of Colorado
• Dorothy Solinger, Political Science, UCI
• Janet Sturgeon, Environmental Studies, Simon Fraser
• Hairong Yan, Anthropology, postdoc, Princeton

Each speaker will tell the story of how the marketization of the Chinese economy of the past two and a half decades has affected the life of one individual that the speaker has encountered in the course of his/her fieldwork in China.  The subjects' tales will illuminate the myriad sorts of positive and negative changes, opportunities, and dilemmas that China's move toward capitalism has presented to its populace.
