Each regional expert will provide a summary and context behind the latest developments in these countries over the last several months. Teachers will have an opportunity to ask timely and pertinent questions, leading to an informative discussion on East Asia today. Speakers are from the faculty of the Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington and other leading institutions. Educators will be able select one or more sessions to attend.
