In partnership with ChinaSource and the China Academic Consortium, the US-China Catholic Association co-hosts free public lectures through the Speaker Series. We are thrilled to announce two upcoming free public lectures in the coming weeks!


On March 20, via Zoom, retired US Government China specialist Gregory J. Nedved will share his perspective on "Clash of Civilizations: China, the United States, and Religion (Catholicism)." Mr. Nedved retired in 2024 from his role as a historian at the Center for Cryptologic History, where he had worked since 2011; prior to that, he worked as an analyst, translator, and instructor of the Chinese language. He is a two-time winner of the Cryptologic Literature Award for China-related topics. We invite you to click here to learn more and to register for Gregory J. Nedved's free virtual public lecture.


On March 26, in Minnesota's Twin Cities area, Joann Pittman will give a lecture on "Christianity in China Beyond the Headlines." At ChinaSource, Ms. Pittman is Vice President of Partnership and China Engagement and editor of the ZGBriefs newsletter. Prior to that, she spent 28 years in China as a teacher, student, program director, and cross-cultural trainer. She is also the author of Survival Chinese Lessons and The Bells Are Not Silent: Stories of Church Bells in China.
