Conversations in Conflict Studies Series: Terry Lautz

Visiting Professor in the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, Terry Lautz, will discuss interactions between American missionaries and Chinese communists during the 20th century. After the Chinese Communist Party came to power in 1949, virtually all Westerners were labeled “cultural imperialists” and ejected from China. Their experiences influenced U.S. policies toward China as well as U.S. domestic politics.
