Andrew Conning 谈中国通识教育Abstract: What will it take for China to educate world leaders? I will answer this question in two parts. First, I will describe the challenges people of all societies face in adapting to the cognitive demands of citizenship in a globalized world. Then I will examine the potential of education in Mainland China to meet these demands. There will be ample opportunity for discussion, and food will be provided.
