The talk will focus on the different ethnic and minority groups in China to examine how the Chinese state defines ethnic categories. More specifically the talk analyzes the perspective of Uyghurs, a minority population living in Xinjiang Uyghur in Northwestern China, while providing insights into what it means to be "Chinese" today.  This event is part of the President Obama's Interfaith Challege. http://bit.ly/interfaithchallenge
