Journey to China: Through Tese’s Eyes and Footsteps
Join Tese Wintz Neighbor, an experienced NCTA seminar leader with a deep connection to China, as she leads her final seminar session. Tese’s journey with China began in 1976 when she was captivated by a professor’s lecture on “Red China” at Indiana University. Since then, she has never looked back. Among the first Americans to travel to China after U.S.-China relations normalized in 1979, Tese moved there in the early 1980s and has returned more than 50 times, exploring the country by bike, on foot, by train, and by plane (she just returned from Beijing in late November!). With 27 years of experience as an NCTA seminar leader, Tese invites you to explore five decades of Chinese history and culture through her unique perspective—rooted in her extensive travels and enriched by the session’s required readings.
