Alonzo Emery, Clinic Instructor, Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program

The National Committee on United States-China Relations has named the next slate of Fellows in its Public Intellectuals Program and the Harvard Negotiation & Mediation Clinical Program (HNMCP) is pleased to announce Lecturer on Law and Clinical Instructor Alonzo Emery is among them.

The Public Intellectuals Program (PIP), launched in 2005, is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of China specialists who have the interest and potential to venture outside of academia to engage in the public and policy community. Over the course of two years, the program will help twenty young scholars and specialists working in various disciplines to expand their knowledge of China beyond their own interests by introducing them to each other as well as specialists from outside their fields.
