'Remapping Tibet: Toward a New Paradigm of Sustainable Governance in a
Shifting Political Landscape'
Speaker: Tashi Rabgey , Co-director of the University of Virginia Tibet
Center;
founding director, Tibet Sustainable Governance Program (TSGP); lecturer,
Department of East Asian Languages, Literature and Culture, University of
Virginia.
Rabgey studied law at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar and earned an LL.M. in
international and comparative law from the University of Cambridge before
her
doctoral work at Harvard. Through her training in law and anthropology, she
has
specialized in Chinese constitutionalism and the politics of minority
nationality law and policy. She is the co-author of the monograph,
Sino-Tibetan
Dialogue in the Post-Mao Era, and essays such as Post Cards from an
Imaginary
Homeland. Over the past decade, she has worked extensively with grassroots
Tibetan communities in the mountains of Kham. Her current research focus
is
on law, sustainability and governance on the Tibetan plateau, with a
particular
emphasis on Tibetan education and language protection. Rabgey brings her
work
in the nonprofit sector to bear in developing new research and
policy-oriented
strategies for meeting the current challenges confronting contemporary
Tibet.
