The Conversation: What can an ancient philosophy teach us about modern political shifts? Daoism offers one of the most compelling perspectives on change in philosophical history-serving as both a guide for daily life and a framework for understanding power and politics. I invite you to join me in exploring these timeless ideas and discovering their striking relevance to contemporary China under Xi Jinping’s leadership. Thursday, September 24, 2026 6:30-8:00 PM
