"The State of Migration in 2018" Event @ the BAC, December 2018 | MIKE SHAW, CHRISLYN CHOO, CARA GLEESON, JONATHAN GARRISON, BRENDAN DAVIS
Today I’m presenting a live recording of a special event I did at the Beijing American Center at the US Embassy to China back in December, 2018 with my former Migration Media partners Mike Shaw and Chrislyn Choo, plus Cara Gleeson. We were introduced by Janice Englehart at the BAC, the event was organized by Leslie Dong, and my esteemed friend and colleague Jonathan Garrison was kind enough to moderate the discussion. Enjoy!

EVENT SUMMARY
With over 258 million people living outside their country of birth, the global migrant community is the fastest-growing major demographic in the world. Yet their voices are often missing from mainstream media. The population that the UN labels as “international migrants” goes by many names: Expats, foreigners, refugees, digital nomads, 海龟. But who are they? Where do they live? Why do they move? What does “home” mean for them? Living between cultures, what kind of culture do they create, and how do they impact their communities?
In honor of International Migrants Day, participate in a discussion about these questions with a diverse group of Americans who are living the migration experience in their own ways and who are working to elevate migrant stories worldwide. Speakers include Mike Shaw, Chrislyn Choo, Brendan Davis, Cara Gleeson, and Jonathan Garrison, who will share their journeys from “the nation of immigrants” to China. The program will include a presentation about the state of global migration, as well as a panel discussion about the challenges and opportunities that international migrants face when they make the choice to live outside their country of origin.

#084: YINGYING LI & BRENDAN DAVIS on “How China Works”, Change, & Growth on “Big Fish Side Dish”
On this week’s Side Dish, Yingying Li and I talk about lessons learned from doing “How China Works”, which is at the halfway point of Season 1 as of today - but this isn’t a promo. It’s a jumping-off point for some real talk about how the crazy and ever-changing US-China dynamic is affecting us, our friends, our plans, and how we are changing our trajectories as a result.
