A Fresh Start: Safeguarding People, Rights, and Research Amid US-China Competition

Intensifying US-China competition has put American colleges and universities–and specifically researchers, scientists, and scholars of Asian heritage–under a microscope. Against a backdrop of rising anti-Asian hate, recent efforts to protect US technology and research have resulted in pain and mistrust and infringed on civil rights and civil liberties.

Committee of 100 Chair Gary Locke will be a featured panel participant as Committee of 100 teams with The Hoover Institute and Asian American Scholar Forum to consider what went wrong, and explore how to work together to advance international collaboration and uphold civil rights and civil liberties while safeguarding America’s leadership in research, science, and technology and its other vital national interests.

The event will be held both in-person (on the campus of Stanford University) and streamed via Zoom. Registration is required for either choice. You can register to attend in person here or register to attend via Zoom here.
