Join Shitong Qiao, Professor of Law and Ken Young-Gak Yun and Jinah Park Yun Research Scholar, for a celebration of his new book The Authoritarian Commons: Neighborhood Democratization in Urban China (Cambridge University Press, 2025: https://duke.is/y/8682). Based on extensive fieldwork across China, this book provides an ethnographic account of how Chinese homeowners practice democracy in and beyond their condominium complexes. Jedediah Purdy, Raphael Lemkin Distinguished Professor of Law, will moderate the discussion. Boxed lunches will be served for attendees on a first-come, first-served basis. Co-sponsored by the Goodson Law Library and Office of the Dean. For more information, please contact Jennifer Behrens (behrens@law.duke.edu).
