Since I’m in China, behind the Great Firewall of China, and must blog via email, I cannot log into WordPress and correct the numerous grammatical in my last post (or the ones likely occurring in this post). Today, a 2L Vermont Law School student, with her Sun Yat-sen University partner, presented their research on "Community Participation & Waste Incineration in Urban China." The paper considers the role of public participation in the environmental context through the lens of waste incinerator siting disputes in Panyu and Hainan. The presentation at Sun Yat-sen University’s east campus in Guangzhou was well-attended by Chinese environmental law masters degree students. Now the Vermont Law School students will travel in Beijing for additional presentations at CUPL and Renmin.
