    Matrix On Point: The Struggle for Hong Kong

    Virtual Event

    Western commentators have sometimes described Hong Kong as a canary in a coal mine, a bellwether for democracy in Asia. Yet for China, it is the concept of "one country, two systems" that best captures the enduring and complex bond that links Hong Kong to the mainland. This Matrix on Point, co-sponsored by the Center for Chinese Studies, considers both the history and future of Hong Kong’s democracy movement. Panelists include Ching Kwan Lee, Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles; Alex Chow, a doctoral student in the UC Berkeley Department of Geography; and Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Chancellor's Professor of History at UC Irvine. Thomas Gold, Professor in the Graduate School at UC Berkeley, will moderate. REGISTER HERE

    The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality

    Virtual Event

    Please join us on September 21 for a virtual Matrix Distinguished Lecture by Katharina Pistor, Edwin B. Parker Professor of Comparative Law at Columbia University and Director of the Center on Global Legal Transformation. Professor Pistor will discuss her book, The Code of Capital: How the Law Creates Wealth and Inequality, which argues that the law selectively “codes” certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. The book was lauded as one of the Financial Times' Best Books of 2019 in the field of economics and one of the Financial Times' Readers' Best Books of 2019. A Q&A will follow the lecture. This event is co-sponsored by the Berkeley Network for a New Political Economy. RSVP HERE

    Dreamers and the Future of DACA

    Live webcast

    On June 18, 2020, The Supreme Court made the historic decision to uphold the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. That decision has, and will continue to have, consequences that reverberate across the political landscape, especially as we gear up for the 2020 elections. This expert panelists will draw on original data and analysis to shed light on the issue and comment on what the Court's decision means for higher education and the future of multiracial democracy more generally.
