Annual Lecture Series 2025–2026
This lecture series is part of the China COVID Project, a multi-institutional, interdisciplinary research initiative led by Professor Qin Gao and funded by the Henry Luce Foundation. The series aims to spotlight new empirical and theoretical research that interrogates China’s post-COVID standing through social, economic, political, and gender-based lenses. It features scholars working on governance, public health, digital statecraft, labor, gender, and civil society responses in China and Asia. Co-hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and the Columbia China Center for Social Policy, the series fostered public dialogue and contributes to documentation and analysis of the pandemic’s legacy.
