Speaker: Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Asia Society Vice President; Director, Center on U.S.-China Relations

In 1991, the China analyst and journalist Orville Schell worked on an in-depth 60 Minutes investigation of the People’s Republic of China’s vast “reform through labor” prison camp system, revealing that products made with forced labor were being surreptitiously and illegally sold to the United States. Inside China’s Secret Prisons is his gripping account of this milestone exposé’s progress—and how its findings still reverberate today.

Orville Schell is the Arthur Ross Asia Society Vice President and Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations and the former dean of the University of California, Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. He is the author of numerous books, most recently My Old Home: A Novel of Exile (2021) and, with John Delury, Wealth and Power: China’s Long March to the Twenty-First Century (2013).

Event is open to HUID holders.
