Lectures by U.S. and Central Asian scholars to be delivered online to Central Asian audiences
February 2024 - September 2025
U.S. and Central Asian experts on China will deliver a series of eight online lectures to a wide range of students, researchers, and government officials in Central Asia. Delivered virtually, lectures will last for approximately 40 minutes, with approximately 20 minutes for discussion. While specific topics will be determined by participating scholars, each lecture will explore China’s foreign policy in Central Asia through a wide range of lenses, including economic investment, cultural programming, educational initiatives, and agricultural policies, as well as more traditional foreign policy activity. Lectures will be hosted by the U.S. Embassy in Bishkek and simultaneously translated from English into Russian.
