The Brown Club of Singapore is excited to invite DUAL members for the International Coastal Clean-up on September 11.

Did you know we have pink dolphins, sea turtles and dugongs in Singapore waters? But these rare animals are threatened by marine debris such as plastic bags and fishing nets. To raise awareness of ocean conservation, Brown University alumni and DUAL friends are participating in the International Coastal Clean-up on Sept 11 this year for the first time.

Since 1986, millions around the globe have joined in Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup, the world’s largest volunteer effort to clean up our marine environment. It’s not just about picking up rubbish — Ocean Conservancy will analyse the data we collect on Sept 11 to determine what activities are likely to be causing debris in the area. This information will aid policy makers in their decisions.

Enrolment is limited to 18 for us this first year. We will “adopt” a site along East Coast Parkway together with Hougang Secondary School’s uniformed groups. We will meet at 9am on Sept 11 (Saturday) at the car park of the National Service Resort and Country Club. The event will finish at noon. Please bring along your own gloves, black trash bag, and umbrella/poncho. We will call off the cleanup if there is any lightning.

The LSEAAS is pleased to invite DUAL members & Friends to an exclusive evening with Professor Christopher Coker, Head of the Department of International Relations at the LSE.

The current economic crisis is bringing to the forefront the unprecedented creation and transfer of wealth and influence to Asia. This shift is unrivaled in the history of mankind in its magnitude, reach and speed – compelling the West, namely the US and the UK to react. How will the new US and UK administrations engage Asia?

To address this pressing issue, Professor Coker will analyze the current turn of events and will share his views on the reaction of the UK and the US in a presentation, “Engaging with Rising Asia – Impact on & Influence of US and UK Foreign Policy”.

China’s economic miracle is creating wrenching social changes that create very real challenges of governance. How serious are these challenges? Which of them might cloud China’s future, and which of them are fading in importance? An economically dynamic China offers tremendous opportunities to companies in Singapore, and to successfully negotiate this environment it is vital to understand China’s challenges. We’re fortunate to have two Stanford professors who joining us in July to share their insights on exactly these topics.

Andrew Walder is the Denise O’Leary and Kent Thiry Professor in the Department of Sociology at Stanford, where he is also a Senior Fellow in the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI). He is also director of the division of international, comparative and area studies. His current research focuses on changes in the ownership and control of large Chinese corporations and the parallel emergence of a new corporate elite with varied ties to state agencies. Professor Walder has a Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.

Jean Oi is the William Haas Professor in Chinese Politics and director of the Stanford China Program and Senior Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. Her current research focuses on fiscal politics and migration and their impact on grassroots governance, along with research on corporate restructuring and governance in East Asia.
