學而不思則罔，思而不學則殆
To learn and not then reflect leads to confusion,
to reflect but not learn leads to trouble.

圆桌会议 Roundtable Discussions
Our Roundtable Series brings together scholars with shared interests to discuss and debate their views on a single theme. Each event will host three invited participants and run for around two hours. The invited participants will first present their respective views then discuss them in turn. The last 20-30 minutes of the event will then be open to participation from the audience.
These events will be held intermittently, with no more than one per month. Themes and participants will be decided by our fellows. We very much welcome suggestions as well.
If you have a theme you would like to suggest, please contact us at sihaiweixue@hotmail.com
All round table discussions will be recorded and shared with anyone interested.
