Kathleen Ouyang and Thomas Emerson Conference 2 2013SP

Seniors Kathleen Ouyang and Thomas Emerson presented their research projects at the ASIANetwork National Conference in Nashville, TN on April 12. Their research projects were based from their Freeman Research Trip in China from this past May (see blog post from Feb. 19, 2012).

They presented posters during a 3-hour long session. Kathleen’s topic was about the “National Museum of China and Chinese National Identity” and Thomas’ topic was on the “Revival of Buddhism in Contemporary China”. In addition to the poster session, they also attended various academic panels while at the conference.
