On October 13, Jackson students brought together leading experts and former officials to share their thoughts on key security trends and challenges facing East Asia with the Yale community.
Organized by four second-year Jackson MA students, Andrea Chen, Youngmin Jo, Tatsuro Imai, and Tang Zongzhong, the East Asia Security Forum was the Jackson institute’s first student-run conference focusing on security issues in the region. The students hope to contribute to expand the breadth of discussion at Jackson and start a tradition of student-initiated conferences on East Asia.
The forum was sponsored by the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and the Council on East Asian Studies.
