The Transformation of National Security in Asia by Glen S. Fukushima
Date, time, place: March 25, 2025, 12:00 – 1:30 PM, Bachman Hall 107 (Loulu conference room) and via Zoom; reception to follow Organized by: Center for Japanese Studies
National security in the Indo-Pacific has changed significantly over the last decade, with the rise of China being the central focus of the United States, which has enhanced security ties with the Quad (Japan, Australia, India), South Korea, the Philippines, and others, including Europe. In addition to military assets, economic competitiveness has emerged as a critical component of national security. Where is the U.S.-China rivalry headed, and what is Japan’s role?

I AM MULAN
Date, time place: April 9-12, 2025, 7:30 PM and April 13, 2:00 PM, Earle Ernst Lab Theatre Organized by: Department of Theatre & Dance, Kennedy Theatre
I AM MULAN challenges audiences to re-examine the myth and legacy of Mulan by splitting the legendary heroine into five distinct personas – a battle-hardened veteran, a modern American-born Chinese, a romantic dreamer, a politically charged revolutionary, and an irreverent, gender-fluid performer – all trapped in a surreal purgatory known as Dìyù. These multiple selves confront one another in a space where ancient Chinese myth collides with modern social issues, forcing each character to question what it means to inherit, embrace, or even reject a storied legacy.
I AM MULAN is written and directed by MFA candidate Elizabeth Ung. The multi-lingual dramedy is not a sanitized re-telling of the Disney myth, and is strongly recommended for audiences aged 13 and older. This is not a performance for children.
