University of Montana’s Mansfield Dialogues: “From the Reform Generation to Generation Xi” with Peter Hessler

This event in Kalispell was made possible through a partnership between Flathead Valley Community College and University of Montana’s Mansfield Center.

In 1996, Peter Hessler was sent by the Peace Corps to teach for two years at a small college in Fuling, a remote town on the Yangtze River. More than two decades later, in 2019, Hessler returned to teach again in the same region, at Sichuan University. He will describe the sweeping changes he observed, both in the landscape and in the young people he taught.

Free and open to the public.
