SUMMARY:Orchestrating Volunteer Service for State Interests: An Inquiry of Volunteering in Contemporary China
DESCRIPTION:On March 13\, at 9:00 AM\, Ming Hu will present\, “Orchestrating Volunteer Service for State Interests: An Inquiry of Volunteering in Contemporary China.” In the past years\, volunteering has gradually been redefined and incorporated into the statecraft of the Chinese party-state\, instead of fueling the rise of a robust civil society.

This talk also describes how\, in a recent nationwide political campaign\, the central party-state has utilized volunteering to rejuvenate its ideological leadership. \nMing Hu is an Assistant Professor at Macau University for Science and Technology. His research areas include nonprofit management\, volunteering and charitable giving\, and community development.
