Description:

Join us as we continue our CTL-sponsored discussion of RCTC's 2004-2006 Common Book, Gang of One: Memoirs of a Red Guard. During this session we will first explore the major themes of this remarkable book as Dr. Shen shares an overview of his amazing life experiences. We will then turn to a more informal format as we brainstorm ways to use the common book throughout campus. Finally we will share resources for teaching and learning from the 2004-2006 Common Book. Whether you have had an opportunity to read Fan Shen's book yet or not, you will walk away from this session amazed with the ethical dilemmas Fan faced throughout his life in China, astonished by the life-threatening experiences and political pressures he endured, and uplifted by the life-lessons he has to share. (If that's not enough…we will also draw for FREE signed copies of the book!)
