This started out as a reference library for our teachers workshops for 6-12 grade teachers that want to add modern China into their curriculum. It included references mainly on modern China and US-China relations. The move to the reflib.1990institute.org allows this archive to meet the needs of the general public, in addition to what teachers and students need.

Teachers Workshop Background
Since 2013, we have provided a two-day summer workshop on contemporary China for 6-12 grade teachers. Since 2018, the general public were able to attend the “seminar” sessions of the workshop via live-streaming.
Expect to find the following at our workshops:
- Relevant Themes: Each year we select a currently relevant and thought provoking theme on contemporary China that would be interesting and exciting to study in the classroom.
- Inspirational Speakers: We invite uniquely qualified China specialists with background and experience to present diverse but balanced viewpoints. These speakers come from both academic and non-academic worlds, including lawyers, business people, advocates, journalists, authors, and university professors — both U.S. and Chinese nationals. (See list of speakers and topics this year.)
- Most Current Information/thoughts about China today: Speakers are equipped to bring most current information and thoughts about today’s China.
What’s the difference between attending the workshop and the simulcast?
