Events
April 2 - Red Cliff Movie - Lay Hall 6pm
April 9 - Guest Speaker Calla Wiemer "China's Place in the Global Economic Crisis and Recovery."
Calla Wiemer graduated from Drury College in 1977 with a major in economics. From her first principles course with Dr. Rohlf, she was hooked. She went on to get an economics Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin, specializing in the Chinese economy just as relations with China were normalized. She then landed a plum job at the University of Hawaii where she got tenure and could easily have lived out a life in paradise. But worldly adventure beckoned and in 1994 she took up residence in Beijing as a freelance consultant. In 2003, the door to China closed for Calla due to a piece she wrote on the Xinjiang economy. But another door opened in Singapore where she spent four years at the National University. Last year Calla returned to the US taking up a position as a Visiting Scholar at UCLA. www.callawiemer.com.
