Talk Title: Challenges for Asia Pacific Universities in the 21st Century

Abstract: Asia Pacific in the past several decades has undergone incredible economic and political transformation. Today, in the 21st century, in this scenario, universities in the region, which until a few decades were not blinking on the global radar screen, are faced with new challenges. In this talk, I will describe some of these challenges I believe universities in the region need to overcome, and what underlying principle universities must adhere to in order not to go astray.

Reception to follow.
For more than 30 years, Jenny Holzer has presented her work in public places and international exhibitions, including 7 World Trade Center, the Reichstag, the Venice Biennale, the Guggenheim Museums in New York and Bilbao and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Incorporating text on T-shirts, posters, plaques, LED signs, the landscape and architecture, her work challenges ignorance and violence with humor, kindness and moral courage. In 1999, Holzer created Blacklist, a treasure located in its own landscaped garden in front of the USC Fisher Museum. The installation encourages discussion of the First Amendment and the blacklist era while promoting vigilance and personal responsibility in exercising and defending the civil liberties granted under the Constitution. Join us as one of the countryâs most celebrated contemporary artists returns to USC to reflect on her work and the importance of language in public spaces. Following her presentation, Holzer will participate in a conversation with Elizabeth Garrett, law professor and USC Provost, and Alice Echols, English professor and the Barbra Streisand Chair of Contemporary Gender Studies at USC, about public art and American democracy.
Co-sponsored by the USC Fisher Museum of Art.
