As part of its Distinguished Scholar Lecture series, the William & Mary Confucius Institute will welcome Stanford Professor Ban Wang to campus to host a lecture entitled "What Love Has Got to Do with Politics: Passion and Love in Chinese Film."

Wang currently holds the title of the William Haas Professor in Chinese Studies in East Asian Languages and Cultures and Comparative Literature at Stanford. Before that, he served as the Yangtze River Scholar at East China Normal University from 2010-2013. Over the course of his career, Prof. Wang has written and edited many books on Chinese culture and art, specifically concerning the intersections between east-west cultural relations, aesthetics, cinema, and international politics. The lecture will utilize Chinese film imagery to discuss the tension between individual and collective love.
