While the campus is in its quiet summer phase, the Megacities of the Yangtze River program in China has been running on all cylinders. This year’s program has enrolled 16 Trinity students from a variety of personal, family, and academic backgrounds and interests, including students from India, Nepal, Burma, and Italy, and is led again by Professors Xiangming Chen, Michael Lestz, and Joan Morrison. After 10 days of intensive study on campus and field visits in Hartford, the group arrived in Beijing on June 1 and is conducting field visits and investigations, listening to lectures by local professors, and interacting with NGOs and government officials in four megacities along the Yangtze River, namely, Chengdu, Chongqing, Nanjing, and Shanghai, where the program will end on June 24.
